Station Review #174: King of Prussia Transit Center (SEPTA)


King of Prussia Transit Center is a small bus station located in the parking lot of King of Prussia Mall in King of Prussia, PA. 

History


King of Prussia Mall used to have a transit center named Plaza Transportation Center. In 2025, the section of the mall where Plaza Transportation Center was in was sectioned off for construction, and a new transit center had to be made. King of Prussia Transit Center is that new transit center.

Post-New Bus Network changes by around 2027, basically every route here will be different. The only thing kept even remotely the same in any way is the 124/125. The 92 is being replaced by the 142, which goes to Exton. The 139 is being merged into the 99, and the section of the 99 going from Norristown to to King of Prussia Mall is being added to the 98. The 123 is being cut. The 95 is being extended to King of Prussia. 

Also in the area is Upper Merion Rambler, a bus route ran by Upper Merion Township. Upper Merion Rambler runs around King of Prussia, going from 4th and Jefferson in Bridgeport to the Upper Merion Library. There are six trips a day in each direction. The Upper Merion Rambler stops on the other side of the station.

Station Review #96: North Wales (SEPTA)

Image
North Wales is a station on SEPTA's Lansdale-Doylestown Line. The station is located at 5th and Walnut Street in North Wales, PA.  History It's unknown when the original North Wales station was built, but what is known is that the North Pennsylvania Railroad rebuilt it in 1873. At some point, this station was heavily remodeled by the Reading Railroad, including a removal of the cupola. Despite this, North Wales station remains as one of the few still-operating stations with a usable depot built by the North Pennsylvania Railroad, along with Doylestown   In 2008, North Wale was remodeled again, with the station being made fully accessible while the building remained intact. Tour North Wales station is fully accessible. This means getting to the trains from the platforms is extremely simple and stress free. There are worker shuttles operated from North Wales station, I could find absolutely no information on these.  ...
