Station Review #163: Eastwick (SEPTA)

Image
Eastwick is a station on SEPTA's Airport Line. The station is located along Bartram Avenue near 84th Street in Philadelphia's Eastwick neighborhood. There were plans to rebuild that station and make an Eastwick Transit Center, extending the T5 to it. Considering the capital funds are being siphoned for operational expenses now, it's unknown if this will even happen.   Tour Everything here is made out of wood. At least unlike Highland Avenue or County Line almost everything is on the ground or not all that far from it.  Crossing Shelter and sign Bench Wheelchair ramp Another end It brings me joy to think about how the map is basically zip tied to the fence.  Do you trust that bench?

Most T3 trolleys go to Yeadon, with only a few per day going past that to Darby. There are plans to make the T3 much more frequent past Yeadon, but they require large amounts of trackwork to even make possible.  T4 - 13th-Market to Darby Transit Center: This is another subway-surface trolley, this one going directly to Darby via Woodland Avenue/Main Street. This generally runs about once every 5-10 minutes on paper, but the actual frequency is essentially random.

Station Review #161: Gulph Mills (SEPTA)

Image
Gulph Mills is a station on SEPTA's M Line, located at 925 Trinity Lane. This is within the village of Gulph Mills, PA, a small affluent community in Upper Merion Township, PA. The area was named Gulph Mills due to there being several mills along the nearby Gulph Creek. Multiple points near the area are also tied to the Battle of White Marsh, which happened during the American War of Independence.    Tour It mostly looks like every other larger M station. The only important part is that both platform's shelters look fairly fancy.  Outdated signage This station honestly feels like it came from a different era with how much outdated signage there is.  Working countdown clock Stairs Map Bench inside one of the shelters Ramp This station is fully accessible, with ramps leading to areas outside of the platforms, and full high level platforms.  Bus loop and park...
