Wayne is a station on SEPTA's Paoli-Thorndale line. The station is located at Station Road and Wayne Avenue in Wayne, PA. Wayne is a village located within Radnor Township, along Lancaster Avenue. Many people unfamiliar with the area tend to get Wayne and Wayne Junction stations mixed up. These are two different stations, though it is possible to get a one seat ride between both some times of the day.  Tour Comet car #2401, part of a Bomber train   Wayne is fully accessible, one of the best stations on the Paoli-Thorndale line for this reason alone .   Outbound platform Original platforms   Wayne is one of those stations where   it clearly was rebuilt, but the old station was historically significant enough to the town, so it remained.  Canopy Old outbound platform next to the new one   This two platform design is cool because it gives two extra emergency platforms, essential...

Oakmont is the first station on SEPTA's Ardmore Busway, which is served by the 103 bus. One side of the station is a shelter on East Darby road, while the other side is an inaccessible bus stop st the start of the bus way. Tour Bus at Oakmont   Oakmont is a very small station, with only southbound service being at the shelter, or even somewhere marked at all. The northbound platform is across the street, and is just a sign. There is no curb there at all, making it inaccessible.    Area behind southbound platform Bench ???   Is this somewhere where someone would put out an old cigar? I'm not at all sure.  The southbound platform from across Darby Road Bus Connections     Besides the 103 itself running to 69th Street Transportation Center and Suburban Square in Ardmore, there's one bus connection here: the 115. The 115 runs from Delaware County Community College to Darby Tran...

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...

St. Davids is a station located at Chamounix Road in St. Davids, PA. St. Davids is a unincorporated place located entirely within Radnor Township, immediately next to Wayne. St Davids station is the second least used station on the Paoli-Thorndale line, behind Daylesford, as of 2017. History Very first station at St. Davids Originally, St. Davids was called East Wayne. The station was most likely built in the 1870s and renamed in the mid 1880's. It was renamed from East Wayne to St. David's at first to try to get people to use the station to get to the nearby St. David's Church (which is closer to Wayne station, ironically enough.) as a development scheme. It worked to some extent, and caused a new station building to be built.  This new station was built sometime before 1891, and lasted until 1966, when it was demolished due to disrepair. This building was then replaced by a newer building, though the canopies from the old building were ...
