the train stations are misnamed on the R5 Paoli line. Remember the mnemonic device to get to Bryn Mawr College...
The stations have been updated -- Luciuskwok 06:15, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
This section seems to be incorrectly attributing the lack of electrification to the Great Depression:
The line was electrified in the 1920's, but unlike the PRR, which electrified its long-distance passenger and through-freight lines, the Reading had to eliminate future electrification outside of the commuter service area due to economic setbacks as a result of the Great Depression.
However, electrification was done in the 1930s, not the 1920s, in the midst of the Depression. -- Luciuskwok 07:30, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Is there a verifiable source for the Planned Extension section added on 20:48, 7 February 2006 by 64.93.1.67 ? It seems like just a rumor. - Luciuskwok 04:52, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Here is the text that I've removed since it's not verified:
The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (as of January 2007) is studying a possible extension of service to Coatesville, Parkesburg, and Atglen
Planned Extension: Prior to 1992, R5 trains ran as far west as Parkesburg, but with a lack of ridership, along with the lack of turnaround facilities, trains having to "deadhead" out to Lancaster. Originally scaled back to Downingtown, the line was later extended to Thorndale at the THORN flying junction interlocking with the Keystone Corridor and the abandoned Conrail Philadelphia-Thorndale Branch. With the Harrisburg-based Capitol Area Transit (CAT) plans to build the new CorridorOne regional rail network, along with an increased ridership based in the Coatesville area, SEPTA will eventually implement a plan that will allow two-train Philadelphia-Harrisburg trip on the Keystone Corridor similar in nature to the SEPTA/ New Jersey Transit two-train trips for Philadelphia-New York commuters. When such a plan is implemented, the following stations will be utilized:

Does anybody know exactly where on the R5 line this station is? I saw it on Panoramio's coverage of Doylestown, but this doesn't look like Doylestown station at all. ---- DanTD ( talk) 15:26, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
Why isn't the former Upton Station (Pennsylvania Railroad Station) added to the list? Better yet, what about other former stations along the R5? ---- DanTD ( talk) 16:00, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

A note on calculating ridership. SEPTA's tableau site has good line data for FY 2013—2022, except FY 2020. The problem with using the Route Statistics reports (like [1]) is that they report average daily weekday ridership, not annual ridership, and you can't multiply by 365 to get that number.
