Crystal Lake - Lombard

Trains from here are frequently late or delayed but there are 3 good coffee shops and the Station has a restroom so you can enjoy the extra few minutes while you curse UPNW.

This is a popular stop on metra the trains are always on time but lots of homeless people at the station. The main problem is that most people who use this station take the train from here to Chicago so why would you put the station on the other platform???????

The route schedule posted on the train station wall doesn't say which platform you need to be at to go to Chicago or from Chicago. It also doesn't say in Google maps, and it doesn't say on the app where you pay your fare. You have to walk 75 ft down from the station on one side and then look at the back side of the sign, or two hundred feet down the the tracks on the other side to see any sign that says which direction the trains on that side go. Simply the worst signage ever.

Schedule tell me My train from Barrington left at 5:14 I paid the conductor to go to Woodstock he doesn't tell me until we're in carry that it doesn't stop there and i have to get off and Crystal Lake , I got off work at 4:30 I'm still in Crystal Lake and at 7:00 p.m. . They are unorganisedThere's no number to call to get a hold of anyone who can speak to anyone then you

The restaurant has a lovely ambiance. If it's your first time visiting, please note that the stop is located on the other side of the station. Enjoy your time in Chicago!
