A waiting area and an exterior canopy shelter passengers from the weather, but there are no food or drink concessions on site, so refreshments must come from the surrounding commercial district.

Exton Amtrak Station combines intercity and commuter traffic on a single pair of high platforms, which explains why its Amtrak ridership is high for a station with no staff and no ticket window.
