Avon Road station (formerly Bywood[1]) is a SEPTA Media–Sharon Hill Line station in Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania, United States. It is officially located at Garrett Road & Avon Road, but Bywood Avenue is also included as it parallels the north side of the line. The station serves both Routes 101 and 102, and only local service is provided on both lines. The station contains two platforms with plexiglass bus-type shelters on both sides of the tracks, both of which are at the far end of each platform. A former P&W-era shelter exists across the tracks from the westbound platform, but it is completely closed and boarded up. This was formerly the inbound platform before the newer inbound platform was moved to the far side after the Avon Road grade crossing.
