Septa has a minimum acceptable standard of 75 boardings or alightings per day on the RRD. Hover around that number, and the station may wind up the next Lamokin.

Hover around that number, and the station may wind up the next Lamokin.can't have boardings without trains. I sometimes use north broad St station but only the R5 stops there once an hour, if it were the R1, I'd use it more often. More to the point, that's the best point of transfer for me to get to the Chestnut Hill East Line, unfortunately, the Chestnut Hill East line does not stop there. therefore, that station loses my boards (and deboards). I've been considering moving to west parkside but the lack of decent train access is a major deterrent. the R5 offers a useful way to commute without using 76. It's also better connected to the ten trolley than overbrook station.

Some major retaining walls and other site improvements will be installed.I've seen a lot of work at the Lenni end, but not so much at the Glen Riddle end. Do you know whether the retaining wall will be built in such a way that it makes the right of way wide enough for future double tracking?
