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. The station has off-street parking. In FY 2013, Yardley station had a weekday average of 392 boardings and 440 alightings.[5] By August 25, 2015, as a result of the SEPTA and CSX separation between Woodbourne and West Trenton stations, 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.
