A new initiative is underway to restore commuter rail service on SEPTA's Newtown commuter rail line. This project will add new service to the underserved sections of Bucks County and alleviate the constrained conditions at existing SEPTA stations that serve Bucks and Montgomery Counties.

The Newtown line presents an unparalleled opportunity to increase ridership and reduce road congestion at a reasonable cost. Where past parking expansion initiatives have modestly increased capacity, restoring Newtown rail service will reduce road congestion and increase SEPTA system capacity.

The Newtown Line is the rebirth of an integrated, safe commuter rail corridor that will once again serve Newtown, Northampton, Southampton, Bryn Athyn, Abington and Philadelphia commuters, reducing pollution and congestion along major road corridors in Bucks and Montgomery Counties. Additionally, the Newtown corridor will strengthen and enhance existing R8 Fox Chase service by opening access to jobs in Southampton and Newtown via the train.
