I was told Amtrak cut power to North Philadelphia stations

They haven't been working for a week and a lot of people are getting overcharged for their trips. It's messed up. Looks like Septa brought out a generator for North Philadelphia station on the Chestnut Hill West line at least. Wtf Amtrak?? Anyone know anything else about this? I was told this by one of the conductors, they got a memo on the 11th.

When will the BSL have countdown clocks?

I’m really sick of having no idea if trains exist at all sometimes. Why the hell can’t they put the same trackers the buses and regional rail use on subway cars so we can see them on the map? Just give us a damn AirTag even…

New to Suburban Station. Need Help navigating.

I generally take the Wilmington line from Newark to Ridley Park quite often just using the septa site for times and it's pretty basic going north and south and where to get on at. However, I've been trying to navigate Suburban Station for the first time....and I made it off and go to my destination. However, going back on and going South bound was a failed attempt.

The signs all said WIL, 3 and 4 A I believe, and stopped at Marcus hook and so forth. Asked a septa worker would this get me to Ridley Park and he said it should ( obviously it didn't ) it was the airport line. This shouldn't be this complicated, so what am I missing?

Help me out here so I can save and not overpay for Lyft.

Bus 204/206 reliability

Looking at taking a job out near Malvern. The 204 route goes near my office and my plan would be to take that from Paoli station 3-4x a week. Any riders of this route on here who can tell me if it's generally reliable and on time?

Why does the Ambler station list Center City-bound trains as going to Wawa station?

Do the trains run through Center City? SEPTA's website doesn't seem to indicate that they do?

From 1977. Probably PA, NJ or NY?

Not hold out much hope since there's not a lot of detail and not the best quality.

This is 8mm silent film taken during a family trip.

Thanks

EDIT: I believe it has been solved. This appears to be Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I did a quick search and I found this video on YouTube...

At 2:25 there is a train very similar to the video I posted. Their video was also recorded in in 1977.

So, there you go. Thank you to all of you who helped. I do appreciate it.

My Proposal for a Harrowgate Station

This would be a station opening in the Harrowgate neighborhood of Philadelphia. This would create a better connection between the L and the Trenton Line, instead of having to go into Center City. There would be two side platforms on both the L as well as the Trenton Line. A station building would be build on the corner of Glenwood and Kensington Avenues. The CSAO Delair Branch will also have to be moved slightly to create room for an eastbound Trenton Line platform.

I also should mention what the colors mean on my map:
Red = Platforms
Orange = Street Access Points
Yellow = CSAO Delair Branch Reroute
Blue = Elevated Walkway
Purple = Station Building

Interested in hearing your thoughts about this.

What is going on with the 27??

trying to get to work lately has been such a nightmare and any enlightenment has been impossible to find. yesterday getting home from work at the plymouth meeting mall stop (get on broad carpenter) it never showed up leaving both me and others confused while my transit app has it suddenly vanish while being tracked. this has also been happening getting to work but that was due to a detour. earlier today i saw the previous cycle of my bus come but it isn’t here for the one a half hour later! is meeting mall hourly now? how does it relate to the phase 1 being rolled out sunday?

in general i’ve noticed a major uptick in ghost busses this past week

Help us improve SEPTA's secure bike parking pilot at Fox Chase Station

Hi everyone! We're Sportworks, and we've partnered with SEPTA to launch a secure bike parking pilot at Fox Chase Station.

The pilot is now live and free to use. It offers enclosed, covered, secure bike parking that you can reserve and access through an app.

If you're in the area, we'd love for you to give it a try and share your honest feedback. Whether you've already used it or are just hearing about it, we'd love to know:

  • What would make you use this  regularly?
  • If you've tried it, what worked well?
  • What could we improve?

We're actively monitoring feedback throughout the pilot, and your input can help shape future improvements and deployments. Thank you!!
