Conshohocken station is a station located along the SEPTA Manayunk/Norristown Line. The station, located below Fayette Street, at Washington and Harry Streets in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, includes a 95-space parking lot. In FY 2013, Conshohocken station had a weekday average of 646 boardings and 682 alightings.[3]

Station layout

The station currently consists of two high-level side platforms and shelters to protect riders. The station building at the former low-level station, which was a trailer, was only open weekdays during the morning and early afternoon. Tickets could be purchased at the station during these times only. There is no ticket office at the current station.[4] SEPTA's station should not be confused with the station building on the abandoned Pennsylvania Railroad Schuylkill Branch, which is now the Schuylkill River Trail. This building, located a short distance away up Harry Street, is now a privately owned café and does not sell tickets.

Station rebuilding

Former Conshohocken station with low-level platforms

In 2018, SEPTA proposed a new station would be built downline (towards Norristown) from the current station. This new station includes a larger awning on the inbound platform, high platforms to allow level entry to the train, and ADA compliance. The projects estimated cost was $13.25 Million, and was originally set to be complete in winter 2022. The new station opened on November 6, 2023.
