History
Millbourne station is one of the original Market Street Elevated stations built by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company; the line opened for service on March 4, 1907 between 69th Street Transit Center and 15th St./City Hall stations.The station was closed on April 23, 2007 for rehabilitation as part of a multi-phase reconstruction of the entire western Market Street Elevated. The renovated station included new elevators, lighting, and other infrastructure, as well as a new brick station house. Narrow wooden platforms were replaced by concrete platforms complete with ADA-accessible tactile warning strips. The station reopened on June 16, 2008.
During the L's rush-hour skip-stop service pattern, Millbourne was served by "B" trains, with "A" trains bypassing the station. Following a successful pilot program where all trains made all stops, the skip-stop practice was discontinued on February 24, 2020.
