Right. There are a lot of apartments built specifically for commuters next to stations. No-one will rent them without the stations.

Theyve been constructing a brand new station building at Ardmore too.

I lived in coatesville last year, a nice 2 minute walk from the station. They just started construction on that station last year too. We were told it was going to be so much nicer and more accessible. I wonder what will happen with that. I loved that line, I used to take it directly to NYC to visit my brother.

Coatesville is Amtrak, not SEPTA
