SEPTA Regional Rail Schedule Changing

PHILADELPHIA REGION —New SEPTA regional rail line schedules will go into effect on Sunday.

SEPTA said it is implementing several changes specifically designed to improve on-time performance. See the specific rail line changes below.

The changes include:

• Adjusting train schedules on approximately 20% of our service to reduce the likelihood that a small delay will spread and cause additional delays
• Increasing time between SEPTA and Amtrak trains to reduce the impact of Amtrak delays on SEPTA trains, particularly on the Paoli-Thorndale Line
• Staging the newest vehicles in our fleet to use during peak service as much as possible, since newer vehicles allow for faster boarding/alighting
• Continuing to deploy maintenance crews in strategic locations in advance to get service restored quickly in the event of a disruption

Commuters should check individual schedules for details, as times may not change at all stations on adjusted trains.
