Ardmore Station serves both SEPTA Regional Rail and Amtrak Keystone Service. Meanwhile, that route is financed primarily through funds made available by PennDOT.

In addition, it improves safety, accessibility, and operational efficiency along the shared corridor.

Separately, Amtrak thanked SEPTA for the ongoing partnership. It also congratulated the agency, its workforce, and partners on the project’s completion. The company said the work will benefit travelers and the Ardmore community. It said the benefits will last for decades to come.
