I know there are plenty of threads regarding temporary baggage storage, but I haven't been able to find an answer to my specific question (so please excuse yet another post on the topic).
I plan to take Amtrak for the first time in June from the DC area to 30th St. Station in Philadelphia. I've read that this station offers luggage storage to riders--this site says it is $3 for 24 hours, but as it is not an official Amtrak page, I was hoping someone could confirm that this is still offered and that it is indeed for 24 hours and not just until the end of daily baggage check hours. Also, does anyone know if travelers are allowed to use this service when departing the train (i.e. with a recently used ticket) or is it only allowed for those storing luggage before boarding? (This could be based on experience at any station.) I'm hoping to avoid having to check into a hotel by dropping my bag of mid-afternoon and picking it up when baggage check reopens the next morning, as I'll only be in Philly overnight (and out too late to warrant renting a room).
Thanks for your help.
