Cornwells Heights station is a train station in Cornwells Heights, Pennsylvania. Located on Station Avenue near Bristol Pike in Bensalem Township, it serves the northeast suburbs of Philadelphia. It is served by SEPTA's Trenton Line commuter trains. On weekdays only, three Amtrak Keystone Service trains also stop at the station. One northbound Keystone train stops in the morning to New York and two southbound Keystone trains stop in the afternoon and evening to Harrisburg. The station has two side platforms serving the outer tracks of the four-track Northeast Corridor.
In 2017, Cornwells Heights saw 1,505 boardings on an average weekday, making it the busiest station outside of Center City. The station has a waiting room and a large park and ride facility, with direct access to and from Interstate 95 and Pennsylvania Route 63. The parking lot was built by PennDOT in anticipation of construction on I-95 and opened in 1997.
SEPTA was awarded $30.5 million in Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funds in November 2023 for reconstruction of the station. SEPTA will also contribute $12 million in matching funds and $13.1 in other federal funds, and Amtrak will contribute $244,000.
