New Lansdale SEPTA Station, First In 20 Years, To Open

A new SEPTA station is ready to open in Lansdale.

The 9th Street Station, along the Lansdale/Doylestown Regional Rail Line, will be the first new SEPTA station brought into existence in 20 years, SEPTA announced Thursday.

The line will be open on Sunday, November 15.

Beginning Sunday, all Lansdale/Doylestown Line trains will operate on a supplemental schedule due to the opening of the 9th Street Station.

All parking at the station will be free until a parking garage is completed.

The new station is located at 141 West 9th Street. SEPTA partnered with Lansdale, Lansdale’s Parking Authority and Stoltz Real Estate Partners to create the station.

“It is very exciting to be opening a new station, SEPTA’s first in nearly 20 years,” SEPTA General Manager Jeffrey D. Knueppel said in a statement. “We are inviting everyone in the area to come and try it.”

SEPTA provided alternate parking at Pennbrook and North Wales stations for Lansdale Station customers who were displaced due to parking garage construction and the opening of the 9th Street Station adds yet another alternative location for people to use.

The new station will feature 78 permanent spaces and 125 temporary spaces, according to officials.
