SEPTA putting on extra trains for after Game 5

SEPTA is adding extra Regional Rail train service for Phillies fans after tonight's Game 5 of the National League Championship Series at Citizens Bank Park.

Starting 90 minutes after the last out, 11 extra Regional Rail trains will begin running on all lines, with the exception of the R6 Cynwyd Line and the R1 Airport Line, which will run on their regular schedules.

All trains will make their normal stops, with the exception of the R2 Wilmington/Newark Line, which will make its final stop in Marcus Hook.

Prior to the game, SEPTA is running extra service on the Broad Street Line and the Market-Frankford Line to help fans get to the stadium.

Ten Sports Express trains will supplement regular service on the Broad Street Line, starting at 6:18 p.m. Sports Express trains depart at the Fern Rock Transportation Center, and stop at Olney, Erie, Girard, Spring Garden, Race-Vine, City Hall and Walnut-Locust, before reaching the Pattison Avenue Station. Four extra trains will be added to regular service on the Market-Frankford Line, which connects to the Broad Street Line at City Hall.

I have only seen that lower level used after Eagles games. Not even after World Series game 5 last year! Would have been nice to SEPTA to add these extra trains after Sunday and Monday night's games.

Wayne "Lucky" La Pierre, NRA Honcho, just called. He'll come if he can bring his gun. BLAM.

Helen- I'll be walking out of my center city condo and taking SEPTA to the game, yes- how is that trashy, exactly?

PhD- PopHasDough. Is that it?

Professor Smart E. Pants, PhD.

Actually, the PhD at the end of Helen's name is a typo. It should read Helen Lawson, GED.

Prof: Now that's just an insult to the good folks with GED's! What I don't get is why people who hate Philly so much make such an effort to post on a Philadelphia news page. BTW, you all hear that the first of the actual, real Silverliner V's arrived today? Hoozah! Maybe they will be operating by the time our new fare card system is in place...
