Not much protection from the elements. Rough in the hot summers, even worse in the cold winters. Convenient location. Ample parking thats free on weekends. Beautiful view of the Hudson River. Regular schedule usually stuck to with few delays. Easy to use machines for ticketing and parking. Safe area.
I found out you must park in spaces that have numbers if you dont already have a parking pass. If you get there after 10am, you can park in any space, with or without numbers, and then you can pay at the kiosk. I couldnt pay at the kiosk so I got a notice on my windshield when I returned. I could easily pay the ticket on line and it was a $20 fee. Lesson learned, however, I may never get back to do it the right way.
The maintenance in this station is horrible. The station is old it always smell bad. In the summer the bugs are so out of control that one do not want to wait on the platform. The spiders are everywhere and most of them are big. When it rain the entrance of the station has water leaks everywhere. This is the worse station it doesnt even deserve one star. Harlem 125st. Is 3 times better then Beacon. In the five years l been taking the train at Beacon it has not improved. I hate the condition of Beacon train station.
The blue line (Hudson velley) needs an upgrade there is only 1 restroom, 2 at the most. And only one electric wall outlet on the entire train. Also the train ride is pretty bumpy and loud. Please do something- it seems that the train fare continues to increase bot what are you spending the $$$ on?PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!

2022-05-22Nice ride to city. Paid parking available, may be difficult to find spots on weekdays because of commuters. Best to show up 20 minute early to pay for parking and grab ticket.

2021-06-23Station is functional, utilitarian. The below street level tunnel for ingress/egress to platform is not pleasant. Whats great is the family of birds nesting in the rafters of the station.

2020-12-23Quick trip out of the city to the mountains then back again. Grateful for the platform elevator because there a lot of steps here. Windy platform and no ticket machines or personnel. Some platform seating.
