You guys could take an early train (the R3) from West Trenton. Take it to Suburban Station, very close to where the auto show is.

anyone from the ewing area or north, we should all try to meet up and head down together. i think the train from west treton idea woudl work out well. it would be about a 5block walk to the show from how it looks on the map :)

Yeah, it isn't far. IIRC, it is towards City Hall.

I used to train into Philly from there for a job, so here are my R3/WT notes. The earlier the better. The lot fills up quick. Car pool there if you can. Plan to arrive in the city by 8 (that gives you SEPTA delay room), which means a 7am or earlier train. If you take a later than 7 AM train, parking becomes very limited. Later stops (Yardley, Langhorne) won't help much, so get a WT train. At least that is stop #1, so you can all sit together.

I so wish I was going....
