TheT1 (Lancaster Avenue line) is one of the fiveT routes of theSEPTA Metro that connect13th Street station inCenter CityPhiladelphia,Pennsylvania, to the63rd Street–Malvern Avenue station in theOverbrook section ofWest Philadelphia. Service is operated by theSoutheastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority.

Starting from its eastern terminus at13th Street, the T1 runs in a subway tunnel underMarket Street. It has underground station stops at15th Street,19th Street,22nd Street,30th Street, and33rd Street. From 15th to 30th Streets, it runs on the outer tracks of the Market Street subway tunnel used by SEPTA'sMarket–Frankford Line. Passengers may transfer free of charge to theMarket–Frankford Line at 13th Street, 15th Street, and 30th Street and to theBroad Street Line at 15th Street. Connections to theSEPTA Regional Rail can be made at either 15th Street Station or30th Street Station . There is an underground passageway that connects the ex-Pennsylvania Railroad's30th Street Station to the Market–Frankford Line's 30th Street subway station, but this has long been sealed off due to high crime. An underground passageway continues to serve between the 13th and 15th Streets stations andJefferson Station andSuburban Station, respectively.

The T1 exits the subway at the36th Street Portal, whereas the other T branches surface at the40th Street Portal. The T1 then runs north on 36th Street, passing the University City Science Center as it approachesLancaster Avenue (US 30). At Lancaster Avenue there is awye cutback, which at one point connected to the formerRoute 38 trolley to Lancaster Avenue when the T1 Line continued straight down Lancaster Avenue to Market Street, where it connected to a now-closed subway entrance at 23rd & Market Streets.

Continuing northwest on Lancaster Avenue, the T1 crosses over 40th Street, where there is a southbound track which diverts the T1 to 40th & Filbert Streets when the trolley subway tunnel is closed. At 41st Street there is a northbound track by which the T1 returns from 40th & Filbert Station. The tracks on 40th and 41st Streets continue north of Lancaster Avenue (part of thePTCRoute 40 trolley line until September 9, 1956^[3]) to Girard Avenue and connect to theG trolley.

Continuing northwest along Lancaster Avenue to 48th Street, the T1 intersects Girard Avenue, where trolley G trackage joins that of the T1; as Girard is offset by Lancaster Avenue, the two routes briefly share tracks before Route 15 turns left to continue up Girard Avenue.

At 52nd Street the line reaches Lansdowne Avenue, where another cutback loop exists, installed in 1996 for emergency or schedule adjustments only. The T1 turns west on Lansdowne Avenue and at 60th Street, a pair of tracks on 60th formerly ended just short of the south side of Lansdowne Avenue. These tracks once belonged toSEPTA Route 46 when it was a trolley line (abandoned on August 11, 1957^[3]), and later served as pull-in/pull-out tracks for the then-Route 10 before it was moved toSEPTA'sElmwood Depot. When the then-Route 10 moved back toCallowhill Depot in the 2000s, trolleys pulled-in/pulled-out toCallowhill Depot via 63rd Street instead, using the outer end of Route 15 along with trackage which once belonged to the Route 41 trolley (abandoned on August 11, 1957,^[3] and now served bySEPTA Bus Route 31, another former subway–surface line until 1949). The 60th Street tracks were removed between Lancaster and Haverford Avenues in the early 2000s. The T1 turns north from Lansdowne onto 63rd Street, on which the line continues until it finally reaches theMalvern Loop, which has two (formerly three) tracks, sharing the off-street loop with SEPTA Bus Route 46.

The T1 was established sometime before 1887. On December 15, 1906, the line was integrated into the subway–surface trolley system by thePhiladelphia Rapid Transit Company and was extended to 63rd & Malvern Streets.^[4] In 1929, it was rerouted so that it went on Landsowne and 61st rather than on Girard, replacing part of Route 44.

In 2020, two then-Route 10 trolleys collided in West Philadelphia, injuring 46.^[5]

In 2021, SEPTA proposed rebranding their rail transit service as "SEPTA Metro", in order to make the system easier to navigate. Under this proposal, the subway–surface lines will be rebranded as the "T" lines with a green color and numeric suffixes for each service and Route 10 was renamed "T1".^[6][7] SEPTA described that "most comments were positive" in the public comment period for this rebranding project.^[8]

SEPTA trolley modernization proposed newALSTOM trolley vehicles, which will be delivered from 2027-2030, as well as extending the T1 toOverbrook station. This would make the T1 a more frequent route.

All are located in theCity of Philadelphia.
