While the excitement of the new Wawa Station, the construction of the new Claymont Station is under the radar. So far no information for its opening. Neither SEPTA nor DART has anything on their websites. The platforms are almost completed, the pedestrian overpass has been installed, elevator shafts are almost complete, and parking garage is 1/2 way through. I'm also wondering if both the 113 and DART 13 would be terminating there as well. Also, what are the chances of this being the ONLY outlying Regional Rail station to have a Key Card kiosk?

Don't hold your breath for a key card machine. If they didn't put one in the new Newark station, it doesn't bode well for Claymont. Would be nice to see though.
