SEPTA currently serves Newtown with bus route 130 ( see SEPTA suburban division bus routes ), which runs to nearby Bucks County Community College and Langhorne station.

The former main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad, currently owned and operated by Amtrak and also used by SEPTA, whose Paoli / Thorndale Line regional rail service, passes through, though no stations are located in the township.

It is currently used on the SEPTA Regional Rail Media / Elwyn Line.

Passenger rail service to North Wales is currently provided by SEPTA.

SEPTA Regional Rail service currently does not go farther upriver than Norristown.

Previously, the Norristown High Speed Line was considered to be a light rail line, according to a 2008 SEPTA budget report ; however, the line is currently considered a heavy rail interurban line, according to a 2009 SEPTA business plan.

The plan, rejected by the Federal Transit Administration, is currently without funding, and the probability that SEPTA will ever construct it is unknown.

The SVM plans included stations currently used by SEPTA, along with new stations north of Norristown.

SEPTA operates two suburban trolley Lines through Drexel Hill: Route 101 Media and Route 102 Sharon Hill.

It now operates every passenger and commuter rail line in the state except for Amtrak ; the Port Authority Trans-Hudson ( PATH ), which is owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey ; the PATCO Speedline, which is owned by the Delaware River Port Authority ; two SEPTA Regional Rail lines, the West Trenton Line and the Trenton Line ; and a handful of tourist trains in the southern and northwestern parts of New Jersey.

Philadelphia's public transit system is mainly operated by the Southeast Pennsylvania Transportation Authority ( SEPTA ), which maintains an extensive system utilizing buses, rapid transit, commuter rail, trolleys, and the Philadelphia trackless trolley ( trolleybus ) system.

SEPTA Route 66 trackless trolley

SEPTA formerly ran trackless trolleys along Routes 29 and 79 in South Philadelphia, but replaced those services with diesel buses in 2003.

Many SEPTA bus routes and all three of its trackless trolley routes run through the Northeast, although north-south buses run more frequently than west-east ones.

Tracks remained in use for access to the Red Arrow's carbarn in Llanerch until SEPTA closed the barn in 1971 ; all tracks were soon removed except for a portion near 69th Street that SEPTA occasionally uses to store out-of service trolleys.

SEPTA Regional Rail trains, New Jersey Transit Atlantic City Line trains, Market-Frankford Line trains, and subway-surface line trolleys also service 30th Street Station, and both Megabus and BoltBus stop on streets adjacent to the station.

PCCs provided all trolley service until SEPTA replaced the trolleys with buses in 1992.

Republican Paul Salvatore contacted Deon, a longtime friend whom he had discussions with on the SEPTA site prior to the campaign, and brought the new Democratic flier to his attention, as Deon is SEPTA ’ s board chairman.

Newtown Council added that " any actions that he took on behalf of the residents of Newtown Borough he did in his capacity as Bucks County representative to SEPTA .”

Please contact me about this matter .” The following day Deon forwarded the email to Jeffrey Knueppel, chief engineer at SEPTA, with one line that read, “ Please get me something quick on this.

This led to a series of emails among SEPTA officials and a letter dated September 19 to the borough signed by Casey that read: “ In a campaign leaflet being circulated by two candidates for election to the Newtown Borough Council, there is an allegation that unspecified ‘ environmental hazards ’ exist at the parking lot at SEPTA ’ s Newtown Station .” The letter noted there is no indication on the surface of any environmental issue.

According to 2002 Newtown park and recreation minutes, SEPTA did not want basketball courts on the property because of liability.

In addition, borough officials requested that SEPTA “ test for PCVP contamination which would have a definite impact on whether the committee would recommend the redevelopment of the lot ,” and at some point Joseph Kelly, administrative assistant to Deon, “ indicated SEPTA is committed to cleaning up the site .”

The last SEPTA, Philadelphia bound passenger train through Perkasie occurred on July 29, 1981.

SEPTA has recently issued a formal proposal to perform maintenance on the line and run passenger service back on it, but they have not decided between installing an electric wire for electric trains and using diesel trains that would connect to the Lansdale / Doylestown Line in Landsdale.

* SEPTA Routes 101 and 102 Media and Sharon Hill lines, operating as light rail service mostly on dedicated rights of way but with some street trackage.

In October 2006, the SEPTA board voted not to order additional vehicles for Routes 29 and 79, making them permanent diesel bus routes.
