Ok, this one seems rather obvious.

SEPTA’s newest Regional Rail station - located at 1490 W. Baltimore Pike - will bear the name of a hometown institution thanks to a naming rights agreement announced today.

The new Wawa Station will officially open for service on Sunday, August 21, 2022.

This announcement represents an important milestone for SEPTA’s multi-year project to restore more than 3.5 miles of Regional Rail service west of Elwyn to the new Wawa Station. SEPTA trains last served this area in 1986. The Media/Elwyn Regional Rail Line will now be called the Media/Wawa Line to reflect the new terminus of service.

It is also the first new SEPTA Regional Rail service extension since the Airport Line began operating in 1985.

It's funny, SEPTA did it for the money, but I could've seen them making the name change anyway to keep up with termini. At least Media/Wawa is better than Media/Elwyn/Wawa, which they could've done but would've been bulky as [tutti-frutti].
