I was on train #4007, an R3 express from West Trenton to 30th Street. Between Noble and Jenkintown, the train stopped and sat for about ten minutes. We then passed Jenkintown and sat on the other side of that station for about half an hour with the power off.
During this time, no conductor came to tell us what was going on; when we finally reached Center City, there were no apologies, nor did they remind passengers about the refund slips you can fill out.
I only found out what the problem was by calling home and asking someone to turn on the news; it turned out that there were downed power lines somewhere in the area, because the only lines being affected were the R3 West Trenton, R2 Warminster, and R5 Doylestown trains inbound to Philly.
Anybody have any more details about what went on? I'm really PO'd -- not so much because I was over an hour late getting to work (the train didn't get to 30th Street until 8:56), but because they didn't tell us jack crap.
