This is the case where there's gaps in rules and regs that cause an odd sort of dis-synergy. The parking lot would have shown up after the station was built. So, when they built the parking lot, they had to put in handicapped spaces to satisfy the ADA requirement (and probably something that was on the local ordinance list) but the station itself is grandfathered in to not having to make any meaningful accessibility upgrades until they do a full renovation.

I remember these SEPTA Trains were "On-Time" 2X in 7 months!!! They can't run On-time because one Suburban Train is Late or a Travel issue, makes ALL the Other Trains Late! Seems they don't know how to go around a Delayed or Late Train. The system is outdated and so archaic, its beyond ridiculous. Hardly any of the SEPTA Officials even ride the trains, buses or trolleys and have no clue what the daily ridership experience is like. SEPTA need to see how Modern, Clean and Efficient Commuters Transportation Systems are around the globe. Even some "Developing Nations" outpace America's SEPTA System. That Organization needs New blood and Fresh ideas and a serious makeover from Top to Bottom!

Another favorite SEPTA run of mine was pre-pandemic when they had one train that ran from West Trenton to Trenton. I once caught video of it enroute somewhere on the West Trenton side, then drove across (in horrible traffic) to the Trenton side and caught video of it again when it got up there. Posted it somewhere on my channel. 😊

Ride route-100 to 69th Street. ride M-F line back to Center City.

Hungary has a long distance InterCity train between Budapest-East to Budapest-West and vice versa. The two stations are only 1.8 miles from each other, but this train takes over 6 hours (400-ish miles approximately) traveling through the Eastern half of the country connecting major cities to the capital. This line is known as "Circle InterCity". It even has a restaurant/premium car and bicycle car. It's usually full, it's one of the most crucial lines in the country.

The North Philadelphia Budd facility actually made automotive parts and closed in the 1990's, about a decade after their railcar plant in Red Lion closed. Body shells for the Silverliner IV's / Arrow II's and III's were made by a company called Avco, not Budd. It's a persistant forum rumor that Budd built the body shells for various GE products, but its been pretty definitively disproven. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avco

You have to consider that when the lines were built in the 1800s they were constructed by competing railroads (RDG/PRR) that wanted to capitalize on the upper class that lived in Chestnut Hill. A lot of railroad Execs lived in Chestnut Hill at the time. Also the Chestnut Hill line (RDG) was supposed to actually go to Norristown. However when the line got to Germantown Station they had to change that because of harsher terrain
@MilesinTransit

They only run trains between the Chestnut Hills a couple times a day, so it's not really necessary to connect them at the outer ends. And yeah, as Kevin said, they were designed to compete with each other, so they effectively run parallel for a lot of their routes.

I can't remember whose idea it was, but it made for a good narrative device to justify the walk back!

Many thanks - I have waiting for someone to do a video of this journey for quite a while. It's good to see that so many of the original station building have survived as well.

Carpenter Lane, my childhood station, so beautiful. I actually love both these rides, all the North Philly abandoned factories are sort of beautiful.

It's so nice having two stations the old Pennsylvania and Reading Lines within 1/4 mile as they give me options to come and go based upon how late I sleep in or stay at the office. I do miss the ten trip tickets. SEPTA finally succeeded in making a regional rail system feel like a glorified subway / elevated line

Just wanted to let y’all know I love this type of content, I’m in the Philly area and am also very interested in septa and other local transportation. One thing you guys should do for a video is get on a random bus or train not knowing where your going beforehand.
