Location

Township Line Road station, formerly known as West Overbrook station, is a SEPTA rapid transit station in Haverford Township, Pennsylvania. It serves the Norristown High Speed Line (Route 100 or M Line) and is located at Township Line Road (U.S. Route 1) and Grove Place, although SEPTA gives the address as being at City and Grove Place. Only local trains stop at Township Line Road. The station lies 1.4 track miles (2.3 km) from 69th Street Terminal. Bus stops for Routes 103 and 31 are located within walking distance of Township Line Road Station.^[2]

The station primarily serves the neighborhoods of Chatham and Carroll Park in Haverford Township.^[3] It is surrounded on its south and eastern sides by Cobbs Creek Park, part of the Fairmount Park system.^[2] It also borders the McCall Golf Club, the Grange Estate, and the currently under construction Cobbs Creek Golf Club. The station is located 20 feet below grade, stepping down from Township Line Road. Of the seven stations in Haverford along the M Line, this station has the fewest boardings in the Township.^[2] The current land use around the station is largely single family residential.^[3] In a study of the conditions of M Line Haverford stations, the station stood out as lacking amenities such as parking, pedestrian refuges, improved sidewalk conditions, bike infrastructure, clear signage, and crosswalks.^[2] The Forge-to-Refuge circuit trail and Cobbs Creek also runs parallel to the tracks, passing closely by the station.^[4][5]
