Taking Crescent to ATL to catch a flight (and yes lots of time between). Does anyone know if MARTA light rail serves the Amtrak station?
MARTA doesn't have any light rail, only heavy rail. Sadly the heavy rail does not serve the Amtrak station, even though it does connect quite nicely with the airport at it's southernmost end. You can however catch the #23 bus, which runs right by the Amtrak station. That bus will connect directly with the North/South line at the Arts Center Station. The transfer there is within the paid area, so it is a free transfer.Taking Crescent to ATL to catch a flight (and yes lots of time between).

MARTA's Arts Center station is about 9 tenths of a mile south of the AMTRAK station, at 1255 West Peachtree St. Weather permitting, not too bad a walk.Taking Crescent to ATL to catch a flight (and yes lots of time between). Does anyone know if MARTA light rail serves the Amtrak station?

Bill,Atlantans, for whatever reason, call our train "the train" rather than "the subway"--don't know why. Of course much of it is elevated.
We never used the word 'subway' when talking about MARTA, simply because any association with the New York subway and its famous 'ambiance' would have meant sure death for any funding. "Rapid Rail" was the choice, but I guess 'the train' is easier for most people.Atlantans, for whatever reason, call our train "the train" rather than "the subway"--don't know why.

The Martin Luther King Center is on the Blue/Green Lines, which run east-west across the city. Coming from the airport, you would take a Red or Gold train northbound (the only direction you can go from the airport) to Five Points and go upstairs one level to board an eastbound Blue or Green Line train.Hi
Hve just got the news that the Crescent isn't running from New Orleans for our planned trip we have to pick it up in Atlanta. Due to timelines and fees and charges Mum and I will fly up. So we now have a day in Atlanta!! Couple of questions confirming ease of movement between airport and amtrak to check our bags...the marta to Martin Luther King memorial park and then back to amtrak? Is this a realistic day out?? Any all help appreciated.
