Honestly this will do more to alleviate traffic on 76 than the KOP line ever would have. Other than hooking up the Roosevelt Boulevard Subway and connecting West Chester to Regional Rail, this is easily the most exciting prospective project.

I wish they would include Birdsboro as a stop, and have an extension to Oaks since the rail leads right to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center. And once they get this hooked up to Norristown, I'd also like their train to stop at the Wissahickon station on the way to CC too :)

honestly I'd rather Manyunk but that's because the Wissahickon station is in a bad spot compare to the transit center itself

Yeah either Manayunk, Wissahickon, and/or North Broad would be a good connection point w/ North/NW Philly.

actually, wait, I can give a list of stops I'd like to see on a Philadelphia to Reading service:

30th St, North Philadelphia (if it gets rebuilt, maybe? otherwise, no), Manayunk, Norristown, King of Prussia, Valley Forge, Phoenixville, Royersford, Pottstown, Birdsboro, Reading. It'd also be nice if it continued past that to Pottsville via Temple, Leesport, Shoemakersville, Hamburg, Port Clinton, Auburn, Schuylkill Haven, and Pottsville. Though I think that would be a bit of an ask of it, to be honest

I'd honestly prefer it if they gave certain places more than one stop. Pottstown could probably get two, and Reading alone could have 2-3 while the surrounding suburbs could get probably 2-3 more.

Past the Reading area not sure how worth it would be honestly.
