Ranya's Ramblings

What used to be the sign Orange Street is the westbound terminus station for SEPTA's D1 line. The station is located at State and Orange Streets in Media, PA.  History Media waa a borough formed in 1850, its borders formed from the sale of four farms. Much of it was quickly built and made the county seat of Delaware County. In 1913, the Philadelphia and West Chester Traction Company made two new interurban lines from their terminal at 69th Street Transit Center: one to Sharon Hill and one to Media. These two lines are the only remaining lines made by this company. The Media line terminated at Orange Street, and nothing about that has changed. The line changed hands multiple times but was never extended or cut back.  Sometime in the 1990s-2000s or so, a shelter was built here. It's been almost exactly the same since then.  Tour The station as a whole This is essentially just a modified bus stop. Bench inside station ...

Aronimink is a station along SEPTA's D1 line at its intersection with Burmont Road in the Aronimink neighborhood of Upper Darby, PA. Aronimink has the highest ridership of any SEPTA D1 station outside of the combined section.  Tour Trolley Like every other D1/D2 station, this is inaccessible. It's also generally not good.  Platforms The inbound shelter  A closer look at the shelter   The shelter at Aronimink seems slightly fancier, and has old shutters. This is clearly a fancier shelter than many of the other shelters along the D1/D2. It also has bike racks.  Bench Old signage   This map clearly hasn't been updated since 2014. The D1/D2 both seem to have many issues with outdated signage, including maps.    Parking??? Parking indeed. Much unlike most other D1 stations, Aronimink has parking for some reason. Do not let this decieve you t...

Walnut Street is a station on SEPTA's D1 and D2 lines. The station is located at Garretsford Road and Walnut Street in downtown Upper Darby, PA Tour Trolley Walnut Street is a generic trolley stop, not much interesting or important here. Not accessible, but the D1/D2 aren't accessible at all anyways.  Bench and platform Signpost I think there used to be a sign here advertising the new SEPTA Metro signage, but someone tore it down.  Inside the shelter This really is just a generic trolley stop. There is nothing special here to distinguish this stop from any other trolley stop along the combined D1-D2 line. Bus Connections Walnut Street Station has no bus connections, and it probably doesn't really need them. If you want to connect to a bus from the D1/D2, do it at 69th Street. In fact, none of the stations between Fairfield Avenue and Lansdowne Avenue have bus connections either. There is one...

Note: the signage in these photos may be outdated by the time this post releases.  Providence Road is a station on SEPTA's D1 line. The station is located on Providence Road in Media, PA, on the border with Nether Providence Township.  Tour Some benches and potted plants A map of Media itself Platform and shelter Bench inside station shelter Parking? Providence Road is one of the few D1 stations that has built in parking. I'm not sure it's needed at all. There was one car parked there when I visited.  The trolley arriving at Providence Road station Bus Connections View towards Baltimore Pike Providence Road   station has one bus connection:  110: Penn State Brandywine to 69th Street Transportation Center This bus is nearby, running along Baltimore Pike in the area. and mostly paralells the D1, even though it does link to other areas that the D1 does not, as well as ...
