The station is best known to commuters by the iconic station announcement "Dayles-ford" by the SEPTA conductors to signify arrival at the station. Emphasis is placed on the "Dayles" rolling into "ford" with a soften 'd'. In 2012, new SEPTA trains implemented a computerized announcement system leaving long time riders of the Paoli/Thorndale line nostalgic for the spirited human voice.
