Or even what NJ Transit does at Princeton Junction Station to Princeton, make a branch line that shuttles from Norristown Transportation Center to KOP, with coordinating the schedule to allow immediate transfers to the arriving Manayunk/Norristown train.

Yes when the Schuylkill Valley Metro Project was drawn up in the early 2000s there was a proposed branch along a then just abandoned freight spur that terminated near the Mall. Unfortunately that ROW has since been built over so its not possible to do.
