Future

Plans have been drawn up for an expanded Paoli station on the site of the former Pennsylvania Railroad/Amtrak/SEPTA train shed and repair facility.^[2] This facility was contaminated with PCBs; cleanup of the shed property where the future station may stand was completed in 2005 as a Superfund project.

In addition, a proposed light rail line known as the Greenline, will eventually connect Paoli station with the towns of Phoenixville and Oaks, Pennsylvania.
