Doylestown station is a SEPTA Regional Rail station in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. It is the last station along SEPTA's Lansdale/Doylestown Line. In FY 2013, it had a weekday average of 383 boardings and 334 alightings. Located at the intersection of Bridge Street and Clinton Avenue, the station has a 185-space parking lot. It was originally built in 1871 by the Reading Railroad, as a much more elaborate Victorian structure than the present station. It had a decorative cupola over the ticket window and served as a Reading Railroad office at one point. The former freight house survives to this day. This station is wheelchair accessible.
Doylestown station has a ticket office which is open on weekdays from 5:45 AM to 11:00 AM, as well as an ATM for commuters to use if the ticket office is closed (on a Saturday, for example) and they don't have any cash, which is required to pay for tickets purchased on board the train since the trains do not have a pin pad for credit card payments on board. In the past there was a pizza shop inside the station building, which closed due to lack of customers and the hard-to-afford rent that the place needed to pay in order to stay in business. There is also a canopy-type roof over the platform where people board the trains to keep people dry on rainy days.
