There was no RM to move the page to its current location, Trenton Rail Station is the official name of the station, and is used in literature by its owner New Jersey Transit as such. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 20:55, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

- To Expand on this further, Clinton Street is the physical address of the station, but is not the name of the station. All services that call on Trenton, NJT (commuter rail, the River Line, and bus), SEPTA, and AMTRAK refer to the station as either simply just Trenton or the Trenton Rail Station, not Clinton Street. For further clairfacation, please remark on my talk page on the talkpage of the article in question. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 21:07, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
- I support this move. Although Clinton Ave (among others) passes the Station, I believe its actual street address is on Raoul Wallenberg Avenue; But I would support anyway. Septentrionalis 21:27, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
It should be renamed Trenton Rail Station. Kahanechaivekayam 22:09, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. Dragons flight 03:27, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Amtrak Acela service
I've removed this line from the article:
- " Amtrak's Acela Express service to Trenton has been silently discontinued following the April 15, 2005 service outage and subsequent return-to-service."
There is still limited Acela service stopping at Trenton (one train, 2103, arrives at 6:47am Monday-Thursday). —LrdChaos 14:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trenton's New Rail Station
4-21-2008. I went to the station at lunch today. The front doors and waiting room are now open and, although there is a lot of work to be done, an initial impression is possible.
Passengers enter by going up 4 steps that face Wallenberg Bouldvard. Off to the right there is a ramp. The front doors are heavy but will open automatically if you push a button. The waiting room is large and bright with ticket windows along the back on the right and a not yet operationational customer service office on the right. Above the concourse entrance is a covered space that seems to be intended for train announcements. Smaller screens giving the same information are scattered around. The sense of space is emphasized by the almost complete lack of places for waiting passengers to sit. There are two wide benches on either side of the front doors. You have to look for them because, without any back rest, the gray steel benches are quite low to the ground. As you enter the concourse restrooms are on the left. My impression of the men's room is that it is a little small for a station which, according to New Jersey Transit, serves 5500 people a day. The concourse has not been renovated. However the ticket windows have been moved to the new waiting room and the temporary side entrance is closed so there is much more room as you walk to your track. The old Cafe Express coffee stand is closed and replaced by one in the waiting room run by Dunkin Donuts. If you like being handed a container of cream cheese and told to help yourself to a stale bagel you will like the new Dunkin Donuts. The old concourse area still has its old fashioned benches to wait on, benches with backs, and they were full while the newer steel benches were almost empty. There was one person on a new bench, a woman who spread out her newspaper as far a possible, a convenience the older benches with back rests do not afford.
On the whole the new, light airy space and the lack of seating seems to invite strolling as you wait for your train. Athletic commuters who don't care to sit have an opportunity to take a turn or two around the waiting room until their train arrives.
