Elwyn is the southern terminus of the SEPTA Media/Elwyn Line. Until 1986, service continued west to West Chester. Services was suspended due to poor track conditions. As of 2009, there are plans by SEPTA to restore service as far west as Wawa by 2011.[1]
SEPTA broke ground on November 16, 2009, to add an additional 90 parking spaces in the congested parking lot, costing nearly a million dollars. Completion date is slated for June 2010.[2] Previous plans to expand the tight parking lot were vetoed by the town of Elwyn, who insisted SEPTA reinstate service to West Chester instead.[3]
Prior to being named Elwyn, the station was known as Greenwood.
