SEPTA Changing Regional Rail Schedules Sunday

WARMINSTER, PA —SEPTA is changing some Regional Rail schedules in Bucks and Montgomery counties starting Sunday.

SEPTA said the updates will impact the West Trenton, Lansdale/Doylestown, Warminster, Glenside, and Wilmington/Newark lines with the new timetables going into effect on Sunday, Jan. 8.

Customers should check the new timetables before traveling, as adjustments are being made to peak inbound services in the morning and peak outbound services in the evening.

The changes will maintain Regional Rail service at 75 percent of pre-COVID levels. Regional Rail ridership has returned gradually and is currently at about half of pre-pandemic levels.

Below are some highlights of the upcoming service adjustments:

Warminster

• Riders should check the schedule for new departure and arrival times.

West Trenton

• Riders should check the schedule for new departure and arrival times.
• Trains #6365 and #6307, which regularly depart West Trenton at 6:43 AM and 7:04 PM respectively, will be replaced by a new #6307 train which will depart West Trenton at 6:54. This train will express from Bethayres to Temple University.

Lansdale/Doylestown

• Several trains will no longer operate to/from the Wilmington/Newark Line due to Amtrak work and will terminate/originate at 30th Street Station.
