Langhorne station is a station along the SEPTA West Trenton Line to Ewing, New Jersey, United States. It is located at Bellevue (PA 413) & Comly Avenues in Langhorne Manor, Pennsylvania.[5][6]

The station has off-street parking, a ticket office, and bicycle racks. In FY 2013, Langhorne station had a weekday average of 643 boardings and 688 alightings.[7]
