Until they get more equipment or the SLVs come back service expansion is limited, remember when the SLVs come back this subject will be moot, the schedules will change again and you will all be able to complain about something different

Remember if the fault of the SL V failures isn't by fault of Septa there will be years and years of lawyers battles to pay for all this, I'm pretty sure Septa isn't going to take the monetary loss of they can pass the blame to another entity.

It looks like lansdale passengers haven't been forgotten about, however warminster has, and those poor Cynwyd passengers don't even get a train anymore, mods feel free to delete this pointless post

Just because a person buys a trailpass instead of a transpass does not mean they are of a higher standard than the person with the latter, all these people choose to use PUBLIC transit, the issue lays with the individual who can not accept having to adjust (Septa gives the option, it's up to you to ...

Amtrak doesn't have enough trains or capacity to take the Paoli/Thorndale ridership, there are plenty of regionals, however Amtrak won't be willing to have their service suffer with 9 extra stops, likewise for Wilmington travel, in reality all expresses should go local except bombers (if they last t...

Aside from the obvious disruptions this will cause lets actually give good marks where they are due, the cracks could not have been predicted 5yrs ago, even the best quality machinery fails, they (septa) identified a problem, they investigated it, then they decided the safest thing to do was pull th...

Septa didn't give up one of he tracks, they never owned it, remember septa dispatched on CSX tracks from Wood to Trent, the separation enables freight to move quicker and faster, the septa trains actually move better now they don't wait for 110 car freights to cross in front of them, since the separ...

Keep in mind it is only an interior overhaul, basically cosmetic, the hardware of the coach is still the same.

Just to clarify here, it's not septa folks complaining, it's a bunch of buffs on a septa orientated forum (although there are employees lurking), it seems the way with these forums that armchair employees know the best way to do things without knowing very much about anything. I'm all up for a discu...

Did the Marc set go back south? Or is it still around, if it's gone are they done with the tests it was undergoing?

You forget he is an expert, I have found the PTC actually works as intended, however there are a few teething problem, no different to when ATC was rolled out all those years back

We are drifting off topic, but not all of those commuter roads are using acses, I can assure you Septa is running Amtrak without active Acses, they have the cab signal units, but it is cut out except for one in house line at the moment, the Amtrak notice that's out says Amtrak train must have acses ...

i thought Acses was only for Amtrak trains, the other users of the corridor are not yet required to have Acses leaders

Why does it need acses before it can enter revenue?

2301 never made it out of Fern Rock last night on the Trenton run, not sure what failed but it was sitting pans down dead at 8:30 last night.

2307 did the Newark round trip last night too.

That was Monday 3/14/16
