On Monday (January 10), Septa will begin work on what they are calling Phase B of a construction project at Ardmore Station. This phase is expected to be completed in the Fall of 2023.
According to the Septa website – The new station will feature full ADA accessibility – ramps and elevators, high-level and low-level platforms, a new station building, new canopies and customer waiting shelters, customer amenities, stormwater management, and site and circulation improvements.
During Phase B construction, the station building will be closed and the passenger boarding pattern will change as the station building is demolished and rebuilt. The pedestrian tunnel will also be inaccessible.
Passengers will board and exit the train using the new low-level platforms west of Anderson Avenue utilizing the Ardmore West Parking Lot side for trains inbound toward Philadelphia and the Suburban Square Parking Lot side for trains outbound toward Paoli-Thorndale.

I was back home for the first time in decades right before Christmas. I’m so glad I stopped by the station and walked through the tunnel. I had no idea it was to be torn down. I spent a lot of time there in my youth. Sad to see it go but happy for the residents.
How is a person who is handicapped supposed to access the station?
When it’s finished, it will be ADA compliant, but for the time being, it looks like they’re going to have to go to a different station.
