The updated SEPTA Regional Rail schedule takes effect today. Here’s what you need to know.
SEPTA modified some of its regional rail line schedules on Sunday. Changes will be in effect for at least three months, when SEPTA will make a new set of adjustments as it does each quarter.
Commuters, check your train times this week! SEPTA introduced a modified Regional Rail schedule Sunday that will affect the Paoli/Thorndale Line and Wilmington/Newark Line, among others.
The regional transportation authority says it makes alterations to its rail schedule quarterly in an effort to improve reliability and accommodate capital projects and infrastructure changes.
Paoli/Thorndale Line
Work on Amtrak will continue to impact this line until Nov. 21. Inbound trains will run five minutes earlier to William H. Gray III 30th Street Station. Trains are also being rerouted between Overbrook and William H. Gray III 30th Street Stations. All trains will continue to board from normal locations and schedules have been modified by five minutes to account for expected delays on the rerouted stretch.
The Paoli/Thorndale train 5300, the 4:29 am train from Malvern, will now operate as 9500 and depart 20 minutes later as a result of feedback from riders.
