SEPTA to avoid Schuylkill Expressway? (Norristown, King of Prussia: train, station, deal)

[natashaj98]

Hi there,

Is there a SEPTA line that we can pick up outside of King of Prussia to
avoid the Schuylkill Expressway rush hour traffic?

Our end location would be a concert venue near the Pennsylvania Convention Center,
so we'd need the line to be running later into the PM or even into the AM hours.

Is SEPTA the way to go or should we consider something else? If we don't
have to drive into the city and deal with traffic, that'd be swell, but maybe
driving is the best way.

Depending on where in the KOP area you are, the Paoli Thorndale line might be an option; many of those stations are within a 10-15 minute drive of KOP, and that line definitely runs into the early AM on weekends (or at least it used to).

Manuyunk Line from Norristown Transportation Center or Paoli/Thorndale Line from Wayne, Strafford or Radnor to Jefferson Station.

The Paoli line looks like it would work, and it does run through the AM hours.

Great, thank you both!
