You should only take the train there if your final destination is like right next to the train station, otherwise, take a cab from or rent a car at 30th Street Station. Although it is possible to get to Cherry Hill by train, I have never heard of anyone actually attempting it. Anyway, here%26#39;s the link: tickets.amtrak.com/itd/amtrak/FareFinder?

The stations of interest are PHL and CRH

local train from Philadelphia to Cherry Hill

Hello!

If you could tell us where you are staying in Cherry Hill, we may be able to give you more specific directions. Besides the Atlantic City Line commuter rail on NJ Transit that owlyn referred to, there is also the PATCO train (similar to the NYC-area PATH train) which has a stop called Woodcrest in Cherry Hill. There are also numerous bus routes via NJ Transit as well. Of course, if you can charge a taxi to your business, that would be the most convenient route of all; I%26#39;d guesstimate $30-40 one-way plus tolls.

I tried to post a Thank You note to the responses but my browser crashed. if it is posted, here is a second version :)

Anyway, thanks again for the heads up. I%26#39;ll be staying the Hyatt at Cherry Hill. The hotel indicates that it is 5 min. away by taxi from the train station. However, I might take up your advices and take a cab.

Much thanks again.

There is a train station in Cherry Hill, however, I believe the train goes AC from there. As far as I know, there is no direct train service into Cherry Hill from NYC. The station they are talking about is about 5 minutes from the Hyatt, that is correct.

Another consideration is to take the bus to Mt. Laurel, NJ. (I know it%26#39;s creepy, but it%26#39;s fast!). I take it all the time. There are non-stop busses all day long, and the ride is about 90 minutes. Take a cab from the station in Mt. Laurel to your hotel. Depending on the time of day, your trip from the bus station would be 10-20 minutes.

The bus is cheap, around $40 round trip. I am guessing your cab ride would be $20 or so.

Sparky: I believe the Hyatt Cherry Hill has changed ownership. It is now a Crowne Plaza. It is located at the intersection of Rt. 70 and Cuthbert Blvd. The closest train station is either the Westmont or Collingswood Patco stations. I believe either station is about a 5 minute cab ride from the hotel. To take the train to these stations you will need to board the Market Frankford Elevated at 30th Street Station. Get off at 8th and Market (Market East station). You will then leave the Septa trains and follow the signs to the Patco line. You will take the Patco line toward Lindenwold. You will get off at the Collingswood Station then take a cab.

There is a lot of train changing in proceeding in this fashion. If your time is as valuable as your money, it is likely worth it to take a cab from 30th Street to the hotel. I don%26#39;t know how much a cab will cost but depending on the time of day, the train could take over an hour and you will likely need to arrange for a cab to meet you at Collingswood station. This is really more of a commuter line so cabs are not generally waiting at stations unless it is rush hour or they are requested to be present by a rider. Hope that helps. Moms

Sparky: Call your hotel, they may have a shuttle bus/van that can pick you up at either 30th street station, the Mt. Laurel Bus Station or Woodcrest Train Station.

Having hailed from Mt. Laurel, I know there%26#39;s a number of hotels in the area that have free shuttles to take their guests to Woodcrest Station, you just have to arrange your times with them. Hopefully, your hotel is one of these.

Sparky: If you choose the Patco route, please make sure you know the location of your hotel in Cherry Hill. Cherry Hill is quite expansive. While the Woodcrest Station is the only train station in Cherry Hill proper, many stations along the route are actually closer to parts of Cherry Hill than Woodcrest Station. Much of western Cherry Hill is better accessed to the Collingswood, Westmont and Haddonfield stations. If the Hyatt to which you refer is the hotel at the intersection of Rt. 70 and Cuthbert Blvd, the Woodcrest Station would not be the closest station. Collingswood and Westmont would be the stations. Just make sure to check with the hotel. Moms

Sparky: I was just checking the NJ Transit Train schedule for a trip to NYC when it occured to me to check the location of the Cherry Hill station. If you are staying at the Hyatt/Crowne Plaza, the Atlantic City line has service to the Cherry Hill station that is located very close to the hotel. It could be walking distance except that the roads are a bit crazy in that location with many shopping centers and such. Again, call the hotel to see if they will pick you up from the NJ Transit station. For schedule and price info check www.njtransit.com. Moms

Momstravel is correct. I forgot that the Hilton just became a a Hyatt. Hopefully, they will redo the rooms, as the last time a friend stayed there he said they were pretty beat!

I checked NJT,and there is no direct service from Penn Station (Amtrack) to Cherry Hill, just as I thought. So if you train it to 30th St. Station in Philadelphia, you will have to go to the nearest Patco Station (by cab or walking), and take Patco to either the Collingswood or Haddon Township stop. You will have to call for a cab from there. I think you will have better luck with faster cab service in Collingswood. These are small towns, so it%26#39;s unlikely that a cab will be waiting right at the curb of the station. (You may want to check with the hotel to see if they have a shuttle that will pick you up at the Patco station of your choice). From either stop, you are at most a 5 minute ride to your hotel in Cherry Hill. If you take Patco to the Woodcrest Station in Cherry Hill, you are actually much further from your hotel than if you stop at either of the towns I mentioned.

Again, your other choice is to take Greyhound from the Port Authority non stop to Mt. Laurel and grab a cab to the hotel in Cherry Hill. Personally, that would be my choice for getting to your hotel in the quickest way with the least amount of aggravation and transfers.

Tramorer is correct. There is no direct service from Penn Station to Cherry Hill. You would take a train from Penn Station to 30th Street Station then transfer to NJ Transit.

The best advice it to take the bus from Port Authority to Mt. Laurel then grab a cab. The bus ride is through Peter Pan lines and is very clean, direct and usually they show movies. If cabs are not present, which they may not be because this is primarily a commuter route, you will need to call a cab. It is about a 15 minute cab ride to the hotel with no traffic, a little further with traffic.

Great advice from Tramorer! Moms
