Warminster station is a station located at 100 Station Drive in Warminster, PA. The station is the outbound terminus station for SEPTA's Warminster Line.  History Warminster station used to not exist. Instead it was served by two stations near where it originally was: Bonair and Johnsville. Bonair was at County Line Road while Johnsville was just past Street Road. Both of these were microstations that were originally closed in the 1960s when all diesel portions of the New Hope Line were closed, cutting the line back to Hatboro.    Warminster station was made to replace them in 1974. The methodology was that it was to be a large park and ride station near Street Road. Many people were moving into Warminster Township as it was being developed. These new residents did not know of the villages of Bonair or Johnsville, they just knew the area to be "Warminster", so that's what the new station would be named. In order for this to work, electrification was extend...

Both of these were completed by 2011. The Allen Lane station was renamed to Richard Allen Lane station in 2017, after Allen Lane was rededicated to R...
