Drexel Station @ 30th Street

https://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphi ... ation.html

The five-year, $3.1 million agreement will rename SEPTA's 30th Street Station into Drexel Station at 30th Street. The station serves riders on SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line, trolley and bus routes. It is not affiliated with William H. Gray III 30th Street Station, which is owned and operated by Amtrak.

The official unveiling of Drexel Station at 30th Street will occur "in the coming months," SEPTA CEO and General Manager Leslie Richards said in a statement. That includes new signage and other improvements for the station's transformation.

As part of the deal, Drexel will pay SEPTA the $3.1 million over the course of the five years of the agreement, or about $620,000 annually.

The "Gray Station" name was designated by an act of Congress which only applies to Federal facilities (such as
post offices), hence only the Amtrak station is cover by that name.

Will the upper commuter level (regional rail platforms) also have the Drexel Station name in addition to the
subway?

CTD/RRD are separate facilities. The railroad station is not in scope of this effort. Read the article:

As SEPTA cut the ribbon on its refurbished and renamed Drexel Station at 30th Street on Monday, general manager Leslie Richards said SEPTA had done its part to reopen the tunnel.

"The project also future-proofed the station by extending elevator infrastructure to a lower level that one day, we hope — and it will — connect to the restored tunnel from Amtrak’s William H. Gray III 30th Street Station,” Richards said.

Responding to applause, she said, "Clap loud enough for Amtrak to hear you.”

Then, addressing Amtrak’s CEO, she said, “Stephen Gardner, if you’re in your office, build that tunnel!”
