The contact numbers below reach Amtrak’s national lines, but much of what happens at Cornwells Heights is SEPTA’s responsibility, since SEPTA operates the station and runs most of the trains.

Baggage & Luggage Rules
Checked baggage is not offered at Cornwells Heights. Keystone Service and SEPTA Regional Rail trains are corridor services on which luggage stays with the passenger, so no baggage room is needed and none exists.
Food, Lounges & Restrooms
The waiting room is the indoor facility at Cornwells Heights Station (CWH), and no cafe, lounge or staffed concession is listed. The station functions as a park-and-ride on the edge of the Philadelphia area rather than as a destination, which is why its parking provision is extensive while its passenger amenities are not.
How to Reach the CWH Station
The inbound platform, toward Philadelphia, is reached by ramps from southbound Interstate 95 and from the eastern end of Pennsylvania Route 63, Woodhaven Road, which makes the station unusually easy to reach by car. SEPTA Suburban Bus Route 133 also serves it. The station is listed as accessible, although the funded rebuild would replace the low-level platforms with high-level ones.
Nearby Airports
Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is the nearest major commercial airport, lying south-west of Cornwells Heights on the far side of the city. SEPTA Regional Rail from this station runs into Center City Philadelphia, the usual interchange point for onward travel to the airport, so the journey can be made without driving.
