Churchville is a census-designated place (CDP) in Northampton Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States.
The station, and all of those north of Fox Chase, were closed due to failing diesel train equipment that the then-cash-strapped SEPTA could not afford to rehabilitate.
[9] Although rail service was initially replaced with a Fox Chase-Newtown shuttle bus, patronage remained light.
[10] In the ensuing years since 1983, there has been heavy interest by both residents and politicians in resuming passenger service to Churchville.
PA-TEC's efforts have received overwhelming bipartisan support by both Bucks and Montgomery County officials, as well as at the state level, despite SEPTA's overall reservations.
[11] However, SEPTA has also confirmed they are willing to reestablish regular commuter service if strong political support exists in both counties.
[12] The Churchville Nature Center, operated by the facility of the Bucks County Department of Parks and Recreation, protects 65 acres of wildlife preserve.
