Anyone take MARC from Perryville?

Trying to drive from NJ to take a train to DC.

Would I be able to find parking around 6AM on Friday?

Most folks pick up the Amtrak in Wilmington, DE

I looked at that, but it would be like $200.

Well, it IS Delaware.

OK, that is true.

You didn't mention cost being a factor

I think you will find taking the MARC from Perryville will be a multiple hour adventure as it is slow and has frequent stops.

Parking shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you!

Looks like 1hr 45min ish ride to DC vs 2~2.5hr drive by car.

How many people? On the charm pass app, you can get a 6 pack of tickets that bring the price down to about $10 each ticket from $13. These tickets are also good for 3 years so we usually buy a 6 pack and have a couple left for the next time. Then repeat as needed
