The Norristown High-Speed Line? What even is this supposed to be? Ya know, whatever. Duty calls, even for what’s essentially a bus on rails, powered by a third rail. Welcome to Ardmore Junction on the Norristown HSL.
The station isn’t much to brag about, it’s literally a high-level platform that’s, at most, 2 cars long, with a shelter. Inside the shelter, there really isn’t a lot to talk about, as it’s just a bench. Because no ramp exists to get to street level, the station isn’t accessible. However, there IS a busway (that used to be the route 103 streetcar, which is now a normal bus), and that is technically accessible. There’s some bike racks and a bus shelter down there! There’s also some parking, which technically makes this a park and ride station?
The good: It exists! It also serves the local neighborhood. There’s also parking for those wanting to park and ride.
The bad: Inaccessible and there’s no amenities, not even a countdown clock (LMFAO).
Nearby points of interest: A park. This area is otherwise rich suburbia.
Transit connections:

SEPTA bus (103)
Overall, yeah, nothing to remark. This station kinda sucks.
Rating: 4/10
