• Morning Regional Rail express trains to return this week (metrophiladelphia.com) — Commuters using SEPTA’s Media/Wawa Regional Rail line can expect the return of morning express trains this week, easing months of crowding and delays. With more railcars back in service, SEPTA says riders should see longer trains, fewer cancellations, and some former local runs now skipping certain stops, so checking updated schedules is important.
