I love 30th Street Station - sure, there can always be improvements, but that Union Station pic is also the entry hall/part of the mall part, which is lovely. BUT, the section where you actually catch trains - it being an actual train station/transit hub - is ugly, awful, and congested. And I'd rather wait for a train in the Men's Room at 30th Street than the Amtrak Lounge at Union Station any day - it's dreadful.
