Glen Riddle is an abandoned train station located underneath the South Pennell Road (PA Route 452) overpass in Middletown Twp, Pennsylvania. The station was a stop on the Pennsylvania Railroad's West Chester Line. It later became a part of SEPTA's R3 West Chester.
The station, and all of those west of Elwyn, was closed in September 1986, due to deteriorating track conditions and Chester County's desire to expand facilties at Exton Station on SEPTA's R5 Paoli/Downingtown line. Service was "temporarily suspended" at that time, with substitute bus service provided. Glen Riddle station still appears in publicly posted tariffs.
The station was demolished in the 1990s. Currently, the asphalt platform survives.
