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 The D1/D2 both seem to have many issues with outdated signage, including maps.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...

Marshall Road is a station on SEPTA's D2 Line. The station is located at Marshall Road in the Garretsford neighborhood of Upper Darby, PA.  Tour The full station There's not much here of note. This is essentially a trolley stop in the middle of a residential area. Most of the people who use this live nearby.  Outbound shelter Bench The outbound shelter is very small. This is common for a lot of SEPTA D1/D2 stations, or really a lot of tram/trolley/streetcar stations in general.  Outbound platform from the inbound platform Inbound platform, with outdated signage advertising the "102" Inbound bench The inbound shelter is larger, but not by a huge margin. Still, it's enough that multiple people can actually have shelter at once in the rain.  This is typical for many older D1/D2 stations as well. This shelter was probably made in the early 1900s, considering that many of those stations...

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...
