**Yardley station** is a [SEPTA Regional Rail](/source/SEPTA_Regional_Rail) station in [Yardley, Pennsylvania](/source/Yardley%2C_Pennsylvania).[6] It is located at Main Street and Reading Avenue and serves the [West Trenton Line](/source/West_Trenton_Line_(SEPTA)) to New Jersey.[6] The station has off-street parking. In [FY](/source/Fiscal_year) 2017, Yardley station had a weekday average of 349 boardings and 328 alightings.[7] By August 2015, as a result of the SEPTA and CSX separation between Woodbourne and West Trenton stations,[8] the outbound platform was removed, and all SEPTA traffic was diverted onto the Inbound track. Currently, all SEPTA service between Yardley and West Trenton operates on the Inbound track only.

## History

The station was originally built to be part of the Bound Brook branch of the [Philadelphia & Reading Railroad](/source/Philadelphia_%26_Reading_Railroad) (P&R). In 1874, it was announced that the P&R would build a line from [Jenkintown station](/source/Jenkintown_station) to the Delaware River where it would have a bridge to connect it to the Delaware and Bound Railroad.[9]

## Station layout

Yardley consists of a single high-level [side platform](/source/Side_platform).
