New regional rail plans now in force – Metro Philadelphia

New regional rail plans came into force on Sunday.

The changes are “specially developed to improve our punctual performance and reduce the likelihood that a small setback stimulates major delays, said Septa on his website.

According to transit officials, the new schedules increase the time between regional rails and Amtrak trains to reduce the effects of Amtrak delays, in particular on the Paoli-Thorndale line.

In addition, the authority adds 31 deputy heads to top trains and uses newer railway cars at higher volume times to expand the driver's seats and accelerate the management process, according to Septa.

Although the schedules for almost every line change, the most important changes in Chestnut Hill East are due to track work.

Three inbound and three outgoing CHE trains do not run between 8:45 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays, which means that the service drops every two hours by April 27th. The drivers are recommended to use the Chestnut Hill West Line or the Route 23 bus.
