Media–Orange Street station (soon to be known as Orange Street / Media station[1]) is a light rail station in Media, Pennsylvania. It is a street running stop located at Orange and State Streets in Downtown Media. There are no physical platforms; passengers board and exit trolleys directly from street level. Trolley service is provided by Route 101 and runs east to 69th Street Transportation Center in Upper Darby. Orange Street is the westernmost station on the line, and is unusual in that the tracks simply and abruptly dead-end in the middle of the street; there is no bumper block, balloon loop, or train yard at this location.

Orange Street station is located approximately 0.4 miles away from the Media regional rail station, served by the Media/Wawa Line. However, no direct connection exists between the light rail and regional rail stations and no free transfers or timed connections are provided. There is also a similarly indirect connection to the Route 110 local bus operating approximately 2 blocks south on Baltimore Avenue.
