Levittown (formerly known as Levittown–Tullytown) is an active commuter railroad station in the borough of Tullytown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Serving tains of SEPTA Regional Rail's Trenton Line, the station sits at the junction of U.S. Route 13 (Bristol Pike) and Levittown Parkway. The station has two high-level side platforms, connected by a pedestrian overpass. Amtrak services along the Northeast Corridor bypass the station. The next station to the north is Trenton Transit Center and the next station to the south is Bristol.
Levittown station opened on April 26, 1953, replacing a former Pennsylvania Railroad station at Cheston Avenue known as Tullytown, which opened in 1833. The station was a product of the construction of Levittown, a development of over 16,000 homes by Levitt & Sons. The station consisted of two low-level side platforms, a concrete underpass to connect platforms and a fieldstone ticket office. From the beginning of the station's history, multiple groups have worked to get more service between Levittown and Center City, Philadelphia, driving up ridership over a 20-year span since it opened. Amtrak serviced the station briefly in 1971 at the beginning of the agency's creation. SEPTA replaced the station from 2015–2019 to make it accessible for handicapped people, replacing it with two high-level platforms, an overpass instead of an underpass and a redesigned parking lot.
