A European colleague of mine, wants to attend VCF-East from New York City. Their obvious question is, "what trains do I catch?" as trains are normal means for European travel. Also, frankly, the cost of car rental and tolls makes train travel a better deal for travelers.
I'm aware the nearest train station is several miles from InfoAge. I don't expect VCF to provide pickup/dropoff. But this is an old question and should have a stock answer now. Please describe the nearest train station to the event, and what likely trains from NYC (optional Phila) would be reasonable to take, and a Web link to schedules.
Again, I assume this is old information and not that hard to verify; and would be useful to other VCF-East attendees. I don't use the trains, so I don't know.
That's the train I'm taking, but I arrive on Thurs and getting picked up. The NJ Transit from NYC Penn Station to the Belmar station [closest to InfoAge, 2miles] They also have non-stop service during rush hour[am & pm] which makes it easy Their train schedule shows the itinerary options when selecting the departure time. Some will have non-stop service and some don't, during rush hour. I haven't seen a direct link to each Train on their schedule. You'll have to enter the info directly on their website, From, To, Time, Date, click on "Rail" button I use, From = "Penn Station New York", To = "Belmar" http://www.njtransit.com/hp/hp_servlet.srv?hdnPageAction=HomePageTo Dan
I stumbled on another of their webpages which give a Daily Schedule version of their Trains But you still have to directly enter the info I use, origin = "New York Penn Station", destination = "Belmar" And you can see all of the trains for that day, both non-stop and others http://www.njtransit.com/sf/sf_servlet.srv?hdnPageAction=TrainTo
