Villanova station (soon to be known as Villanova South station[2]) is a SEPTA rapid transit station near the campus of Villanova University in Radnor Township, Pennsylvania.[3] It serves the Norristown High Speed Line (Route 100). All trains stop at Villanova. The station lies 7adj=preNaNadj=pre from 69th Street Terminal. The station has off-street parking available.

Villanova station lies east of the former Strafford Spur, which was closed by the Philadelphia and Western Railroad in 1956. The former right-of-way between Strafford and Radnor serves as the P&W Bicycle Trail.[4]
