Amtrak joined officials from Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) on Friday, April 10, to celebrate the official opening of the new Ardmore Station on the Paoli/Thorndale Line. The rebuilt station represents a significant investment in regional rail infrastructure and expands accessibility for passengers with modern amenities, including elevators, ramps, and high‑level platforms.
“Projects like Ardmore underscore what can be achieved when agencies work together with a shared commitment to putting customers first,” said Amtrak Assistant Vice President of Infrastructure Access & Investment Tom Moritz. “Amtrak is proud to continue serving the Ardmore community alongside SEPTA, and we look forward to welcoming customers to this renewed and expanded station aboard the Keystone Service.”
Ardmore Station serves both SEPTA Regional Rail and Amtrak Keystone Service, a route financed primarily through funds made available by PennDOT. Amtrak worked closely with SEPTA throughout the project to support continued intercity rail service during construction. The modernized station enhances the travel experience for Amtrak and SEPTA customers alike while improving safety, accessibility, and operational efficiency along this shared corridor.
Amtrak appreciates its ongoing partnership with SEPTA and congratulates the agency, its workforce, and partners on the successful completion of this important project, which will benefit travelers and the Ardmore community for decades to come.
