Wait, wait, wait…SEPTA?!?!?!??!? Did we seriously just backwards long jump past the ENTIRITY OF NJT TERRITORY?! Nah, this ain’t Mario 64. And even then, I still<\/em> have NJT in the (as of writing this, very VERY large) backlog. Without further ado, here’s the first SEPTA Regional Rail(TM), first SEPTA (systemwide), and first blog entry anywhere beyond New York or the far Northeastern US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angora Station is located on the outer fringes of southwestern Philadelphia, on SEPTA’s Media\/Wawa commuter rail line, in the namesake neighborhood of Angora. It consists of rather little in the way of amenities (not even seating or a bus shelter?!), and even less in the way of accessibility. In fact, the only thing remotely ADA accessible about this (quite bluntly: shitty!) station is the bus connections, being the 46 between 63rd\/Malvern and this station (where it turns!), and the 63 between Overbrook Station and Columbus Commons in South Philly. You might<\/em> get a transit-accessible pile of rocks<\/a>, if you’re lucky! As for inaccessible connections, you have the T2 trolley line on Baltimore Ave., of course. And, what amenities DOES this station have? …a Key Card machine. But, it’s not just any ordinary Key Card machine – because unlike, say, the ticketing machines on the LIRR, NJT, or Metro-North, these DON’T EVEN DISPENSE PAPER TICKETS! WAY TO GO, SEPTA!!! But, it’s also SEPTA. Of course they’ll do things in a rather weird and esoteric way. And, I think that’ll become abundantly clear in some coming entries within SEPTA territory… *wink wink, nudge nudge*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good: …it exists, I guess??? You might<\/em> see a pile of rocks if you’re lucky!

The bad: Why? Just, why? There is no station house or even amenities. It’s like they forgot<\/em> the station itself. It’s like it’s just a point on a map where Silverliners stop. What kind of illicit substances were they smoking??? Even the <\/a>Newton <\/a>trio <\/a>is better, because even THOSE had amenities.

Nearby points of interest: A number of churches and mosques, a shopping plaza (w\/ a Dunks!), and A LOT OF HOUSING.

Transit connections:
SEPTA Regional Rail (Media\/Wawa)
SEPTA bus (46, 63 – both at Baltimore & 58th)
SEPTA Metro (T2 – at Baltimore & 58th)

Overall, just…..why??????? What were they smoking? This is easily among the most “what the hell?” stations I’ve ever used. Just use fucking 46\/63 (or the T2, if able-bodied) instead, if possible.

Rating: 0.2\/10
