Service
The Newark station is the southern terminus of weekday service for SEPTA; it does not serve the station on weekends. Like all stations in Delaware, SEPTA service is provided under contract and funded through DART First State.
The station is located at Mopar Drive and South College Avenue, and travellers arriving at the station must walk a few blocks north along South College Avenue to reach the University of Delaware or the businesses centered around Main Street. A 380 space parking lot exists, mostly serving park and ride passengers bound for Wilmington, Delaware or Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The James F. Hall trail also runs along the north side of the tracks.
The station building, originally constructed by the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad 1877, is adjacent to the southbound platform, but is no longer used as a station. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 7, 1982.
