    Amtrak men's bathroom is worst designed I've ever seen. All foot traffic bottlenecks at narrow sink & hand dryer lined entrance.

    Avoid the crowd - use the stairway near the 31st and 8th exit to quickly board an NJ Transit train.

    Nothing says "please approach me for money" like a trip through Penn. Be careful.

    Train stations get allocated 10-15 mins before departure - as long as you are there by then you wii get your train :). Buying a ticket using the amtrak app on the way to the station is a fly..
