Yardley station
Yardley station is a SEPTA Regional Rail station in Yardley, Pennsylvania. It is located at Main Street and Reading Avenue and serves the West Trenton Line to New Jersey.[5] The station has off-street parking. In FY 2017, Yardley station had a weekday average of 349 boardings and 328 alightings.[6] By August 2015, as a result of the SEPTA and CSX separation between Woodbourne and West Trenton stations,[7] the outbound platform was removed, and all SEPTA traffic was diverted onto the Inbound track. Currently, all SEPTA service between Yardley and West Trenton operates on the Inbound track only.
