Please respond with your experiences regarding train commute between Princeton Junction and Newark Penn.
1. Are there enough empty seats available during rush hour ?
2. What are the rush hours ?
3. Are the express trains (non-stop to Newark) crowded ?
4. Any other concerns or issues

Thanks

The waiting list for the parking at the Princeton Junction station is several years long...

Dude I'm asking about train experiences. Looks like anywhere I go in Jersey monthly parking will be 5 yrs plus wait.

I've never had any problems getting a seat from Princeton Junction. It's usually quite empty when it arrives. The train does tend to fill up to standing room only after a few stops. If you want to park there in general parking, arrive before 7am for best availability.

Do you know if the seats are available from Rahway ? I'm now considering Rahway.
