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 The D1/D2 both seem to have many issues with outdated signage, including maps.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  Outbound platform from the inbound platform Inbound platform, with outdated signage advertising the "102" Inbound bench The inbound shelter is larger, but not by a huge margin.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...

Avon Road is a station on SEPTA's 101 and 102 trolley lines (D lines). This station is at the intersection of the combined 101/102 section and Avon Road, in Upper Darby, PA, hence the name.  Like every other trolley station, this station is completely inaccessible, disabled people cannot easily get on the trolleys as they're high-floor and designed with steps. However, even if one was using low-floor trolleys that could bridge the gap between the station and the trolley, this station would still be inaccessible due to its staggered design and traffic flow issues. Tour 102 Trolley at Avon Road There is very little at this station. It's just two shelters, two platforms, and a few signs. All of the amenities of each shelter are at the very end of the shelter, as if it wasn't inaccessible enough otherwise.  Platform Old shelter There used to be a shelter much like the other older 101/102 shelters, but it seems to have been clo...
