Re: [Swlfest] Train to Hotel

Great suggestion Ed - that's one of the reasons we have this list; people
have long used it to coordinate local transportation.

If one is adventurous, Google Maps can guide you in crafting an all-public
transportation itinerary from the airport or train station to the hotel, as
the adjacent mall is served by SEPTA buses.  I find Google's interface more
helpful than SEPTA's own travel planner.

On Friday I'm picking up one of our speakers at the Norristown 
Transportation Center like I did last year.

Hi Mano,

There's no need for anyone at the SWLfest to coordinate your train

Good luck,

Rich, thanks for making that useful airport shuttle update to the 
SWLfest.com website.


The Tropiano airport shuttle to the hotel costs $29 (one-way) plus 
mandatory gratuity.  You have to call them well in advance at (215) 616-5370.


I you enjoy traveling by train, a cheaper and more interesting 
option is to take the SEPTA airport line from PHL airport to 
Philly's Jefferson Station (formerly Market East) and then 
transfer to the Manayunk-Norristown Line to the Norristown 
Transportation Center (which is a 15-min cab drive from the 
hotel.)  The train fare for the full trip is $9.00 and you can buy 
your ticket from a machine on the PHL airport train platform (or 
for a bit more on the train.)  At Jefferson Station, tell the 
train conductor that you're deboarding at the Norristown 
Transportation Center.  Here's the URL for SEPTA's "transportation 
planner" which can create a train itinerary for you: 
http://www.septa.org/m/maps/trip.html


From the Norristown Transportation Center you can take Uber or 
Lyft for about $15 (or a taxicab for a bit more) to the 
hotel.  (Or if you have a friend at the hotel with a car, they 
might be willing to make the short trip to pick you up ;-)


If you're coming from Philadelphia's 30th Street Station from 
anywhere, for only $7.00 (pay on the train) you can take the 
Manayunk-Norristown Line to the Norristown Transportation Center, 
and then take Uber or Lyft for about $15 (or a taxicab for a bit 
more) to the hotel.  (Or if you have a friend at the hotel with a 
car, they might be willing to make the short trip to pick you up ;-)


I hope folks find this transportation info useful.  Maybe it can 
also be added to the SWLfest.com website.


Best,

-Ed Cummings

That oversight has now been corrected, and if you are looking for 
transportation from the Philadelphia Airport, or 30th Street 
Amtrak, and are not renting a car, then Tropiano Transportation 
may be an option for you.
