Exton Station is a commuter rail station located in the western suburbs of Philadelphia at Walkertown Road, Exton, Pennsylvania.[2] It is served by most Amtrak Keystone Service, Pennsylvanian (eastbound trains only), and Paoli/Thorndale Line trains.
There is no ticket office at the station. Unlike other stations served by SEPTA Paoli/Thorndale Line trains west of Philadelphia along the former Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line, the station is not located within the built-up portion of the community; it is merely a park-and-ride station along PA 100, near the highway's interchange with US 30. There are 648 parking spaces at the station. Parking was last expanded in late 2009.
This station is wheelchair-accessible with short lengths of high-level platforms on both sides of the tracks. The platforms have bridge plates which allow a wheelchair to cross the gap between the platform and the train when it is stopped at the platform. This is 27.7 track miles from Philadelphia's Suburban Station. In 2003, the average total SEPTA weekday boardings at this station was 539.
