Bryn Mawr Station is an above-ground commuter rail station located in the western suburbs of Philadelphia at Morris and Bryn Mawr Avenues in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.^[2] It is served by most Paoli/Thorndale Line trains with the exception of a few "limited" and express trains.

The ticket office at this station is open weekdays 6:05 a.m. to 6:05 p.m. excluding holidays. There are 46 parking spaces at the station. This station is in fare zone 3 and is 10.1 track miles from Suburban Station. In 2003, the average total weekday boardings at this station was 822.

The original Bryn Mawr Station was designed by Joseph M. Wilson and built in 1869 by the Pennsylvania Railroad. It was demolished in 1963, and replaced by a mid-20th Century mock-colonial style structure. The former freight house on the south side of the tracks, which dates back to 1870, is currently a local restaurant.^[1]
