Wawa station

The outer section of the line, running from Elwyn to West Chester including the old Wawa station, was closed in 1986.

SEPTA restored service on the Media/Wawa Line from its prior terminus at Elwyn station to Wawa on August 21, 2022.

Prior to the end of service, trains had not been through-routed to Philadelphia for many years, instead operating as a shuttle between Elwyn and West Chester.

In the early 1990s, SEPTA began discussing the prospect of restoring commuter rail service between Elwyn and Wawa.

The accessible-compliant station will have high level platforms, a ticket office, food service, and a parking garage.

SEPTA announced in 2015 in their "Rebuilding for the Future" project that service is expected to return to Wawa station by, at the latest, 2020.
