Amtrak – Kannapolis Station

I’ve had a chance to use the Kannapolis Amtrak station a few times. It’s a nice little train station that compliments the town that it serves as well as offers convenience to the traveler.
The Kannapolis Amtrak depot is a quaint little station, nice brick building with plenty of parking adjacent to it right on Main Street. Inside and out, it is very clean and well maintained. There is a moderate sized sitting area with benches, as well as the ticket window available for transactions as well. The waiting area does offer drink/​snack machines as well if you have the munchies while waiting. The bathrooms are well kept and very clean. Outside at the train side area, there are nicely groomed flower/​plant areas with a well maintained access area with a cover/​roof over it. Overall, it provides a nice point of departure and arrival for Amtrak passengers visiting the Kannapolis area.
Bottom line: The Kannapolis Amtrak station is a quaint and well maintained station that serves this town well. It matches the charm of the town, and has all that the train passenger would need. I am a fan!

Great little train station. Convenient service. Northbound train is always on time. Southbound train is often late. Good way to get the college kids back and forth to the triangle. Service goes further up the east coast to Boston. Too bad train service is given like one one thousandth of the money we put into highways.

Opens 5 pm on Sunday
The have a small lounge area with vending machines that you can grab a soda or a small snack. The woman who works the desk on the weekends is very efficient and kept us up to date on when the train was coming. She also let me know of delays they would be having that week due to Hurricane Sandy.
Overall, super nice and safe location.
