Lansdale/Doylestown Line Delayed, Power Outages Hammer Area

LANSDALE, PA — The severe storms that swept through the area Thursday caused some significant damage in the greater Lansdale area, knocking out power for tens of thousands of residents in Montgomery County and raising issues along the Lansdale/Doylestown SEPTA line.

The line was still running but was behind schedule anywhere from 10 minutes to over an hour, according to live updates from SEPTA.

"Trains are experiencing delays and cancellations system-wide due to down wires and trees from yesterday's weather conditions," the agency said in a statement, listing the Lansdale/Doylestown line as one of the regional rails facing issues.

Traffic signals are out in several areas, officials said. This means that drivers should treat those intersections like stop signs.

In Montgomery County, a total of 47,218 residents are without power. The immediate Lansdale area was not hit quite as hard as some communities, but still felt impacts. Here's how outages looked Friday morning:

• North Wales: 253
• Montgomery: 121
• Lansdale: 52
• Hatfield: 107

Repair estimate times ranged from several hours to several days.

Residents who have damage on their property like downed wires should contact PECO at 1-800-841-4141.
