R6 Cynwyd: SEPTA's "Dinky"

[glennk419]

11/14 - Cynwyd: Service is suspended until further notice. Alternate service suggestions are available online.

Media is reporting that this is due to Amtrak switching problems. Shuttle busses running between Cynwyd and Overbrook.

Service resumed an hour and a half afterwards, according to Philly Inquirer.

SEPTA reported switch problems. Given their propensity to blame amtrak switch problems I took it to mean jeff was malfunctioning instead

You do know the Cynwyd train do need to use a short portion of Amtrak territory right? It may have been switches at 36th st, 38st, 44th or Valley, the probable scenario is the switch failed in a position not affecting Harrisburg line trains, no maintainer available so Amtrak requested cynwyds be held out, don't always assume it has to be a Septa problem

[STrRedWolf]

Agreed, because when I first checked SEPTA's site, they had Pavoli trains having problems on the line.

For the last several days (since the CTD strike ended), the departure monitors at Jefferson have been displaying departure times for the Cynwyd trains, complete with Track 6 noted - but those times are at Suburban Station, not in Jefferson. As we all know, Cynwyd trains don't serve Jefferson, & that station doesn't even HAVE a Track 6!

The usual notice that "Cynwyd trains board at Suburban Station..." is now nowhere to be seen.
