GLEN BURNIE, Md. — A $4.7 million renovation of the Amtrak and MARC commuter rail station at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is now complete.
The 14-month project began in August 2018, and provides expanded seating, with charging stations for phones and other personal electronics, new ticketing facilities, improved restrooms, and refreshment and snack options.
“This updated station will welcome travelers from all over the world to Maryland and the Washington, D.C., region and represents MDOT’s commitment to excellent customer service,” Maryland Department of Transportation Secretary Pete K. Rahn said in a press release.
The station is served by Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor, MARC’s Penn Line, and light rail service to downtown Baltimore.
And according to the Washngton Post the roof still leaks!! Have used BWI more than once; the shuttle bus is convenient and regular. Crossing multiple highways would make a people mover very expensive project.
It seems to me that a People Mover between to train station and the airport itself would make sense.
Light-rail service is not provided at the BWI train station per se but adjacent to the airport’s E concourse.
New station so much better then the old. Much brighter and with more room. Correct, light rail serves the BWI airport terminal only, not this rail station.
Unless things have changed, the light rail serves the main sir terminal, not the rail station. I am open to correction.
