It serves the [[Media/Wawa Line]] and previously served the [[Pennsylvania Railroad]]. It is located at Providence Road and South Avenue, and parking is available via permit.

The station consists of two platforms with shelters on the east side of Providence Road across from the end of South Street. A [[serpentinite]] stone building originally built in 1880 by the Pennsylvania Railroad<ref>[http://www.west2k.com/pastations/delawarepa.shtml Existing Railroad Stations in Delaware County, Pennsylvania]</ref> serves as the station and ticket office, with an insurance office occupying the level at the parking lot.<ref>[http://www.west2k.com/papix/secane.jpg Images of Secane Station ]</ref> The station opened as '''Spring Hill''', retaining that name until 1886.<ref name="springhillrename" /> The previous name can still be found on the cornerstone of the building. <!--The station may have been built by the [[West Chester and Philadelphia Railroad]] around 1869. The station used to be taller looking much like Clifton/Aldan Station, but after a fire in the 1940's, the station was remodeled to its present form.-->

==Improvements== In September 2019 SEPTA completed a series of upgrades to this station. The upgrades include the installation high-level platforms and a new station building and canopy. The Secane station upgrade was made possible by funding provided by the Commonwealth's Act 89 funds.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-09-06 |title=SEPTA rides into the future with new Secane station |url=https://www.delcotimes.com/news/article_6a8e50fe-d01f-11e9-a0ca-bfa205612ff6.html |access-date=2022-09-13 |website=Delco Times |language=en-US}}</ref>
