The end of in-person ticket sales at the station will be effective Friday, September 20.
The change impacts 10 stations where SEPTA is discontinuing in-person services this fall, according to SEPTA spokesperson John Golden.
With a variety of alternatives such as SEPTA Key cards and on-board payments, there has been a significant decrease in in-person ticket purchases, Golden said.

SEPTA officials have not disclosed how many staff or contractors will be impacted by the discontinuation of live agent sales at the stations.
The changes come as SEPTA is adding trains and returning paid parking to car lots.

Earlier this year, SEPTA ended in-person ticket sales at a number of Regional Rail stations, but none were in Bucks County.
The Langhorne Train Station was constructed for $1.4 million and opened in 2011. It replaced a train station built by the Reading Railroad Company that had stood since 1881.

The station sits in a sliver of Middletown Township that is buffered by Penndel and Langhorne Manor boroughs.
