Passenger surge leads to SEPTA rail delays
SEPTA says service is back to schedule after advising regional rail riders that they could face delays of up to 30 minutes due to "heavy passenger load."
Summer is definitely over.
On Tuesday morning, the day after Labor Day, SEPTA advised regional rail riders that they could face delays of up to 30 minutes due to "heavy passenger load." By early afternoon, the agency said service had returned to normal.
The commuter railroad is operating on a modified schedule because its newest passenger cars have been pulled from service while repairs are made to undercarriage supports that have experienced cracks.
Besides the car shortage, schedule changes went into effect on several lines on Tuesday. Express buses to supplement service on some lines also started Tuesday.
