The Glen Riddle station was a commuter rail station which was located on the SEPTA Regional Rail R3 West Chester Line. Situated underneath the South Pennell Road (PA-452) overpass in Middletown Township, Pennsylvania, it was originally built by the West Chester and Philadelphia Railroad, and later served the Pennsylvania Railroad's West Chester Branch, which finally became SEPTA's R3 line.
History and architectural features
The station, along with all of those west of Elwyn, was closed in September 1986, due to deteriorating track conditions and Chester County's desire to expand facilities at Exton station on SEPTA's Paoli/Thorndale Line. Service was "temporarily suspended" at that time, with substitute bus service provided.
The Glen Riddle station still appears in publicly posted tariffs.
The station was demolished in the 1990s; the asphalt platform and access road survives. Resumption of SEPTA service to Wawa station does not include an intermediate stop at Glen Riddle, although the service restoration project provides for construction of a new station if demand warrants.
