Is it common and feasible to commute from Philly to Delaware? Is Amtrak reliable?

I did it for years. Had a number of co-workers do it too. SEPTA is the correct train to take ha. There's an express train that skips a lot of the delco stops in the morning you want to take. The real question is where you are working in Delaware. Downtown Wilmington is the easiest to get too.

I wouldn't say it's common but there are people who do it, mostly in the other direction. Feasibility depends where you are on both sides. The NE Regional had a 65% on time rate, with "on time" being up to 25 minutes late. So... Not great.

SEPTA has a better track record and better prices/more flexibility.
