SEPTA Regional Rail Service Restored In Philly Region

PHILADELPHIA REGION —SEPTA regional rail line commuters are back in business after a signal issue was resolved early Tuesday morning, officials said.

SEPTA regional rail customers were faced with delays Monday night due to a signal issue at the Wayne Junction and Vine Street Junction stations, officials said.

The lines that were impacted included ones for Bucks and Montgomery County commuters.

Those included the trains on the Doylestown, Trenton, Warminster, and West Trenton regional rail lines.

SEPTA provided an update early Tuesday that all available maintainers, specialists, and managers had worked throughout the night to fix the issue and restore the system to normal service.

SEPTA said in a statement that the signal issues were due to a failure in the communications system within the signal equipment at Wayne Junction, impacting the ability of the signals to communicate with the dispatch center.

Rail service was stopped around 5:15 p.m. Monday so crews could begin work before field personnel could manually throw the switches to move trains.

The Warminster line serves Hatboro and Warminster, among other towns.

The Trenton Line has stops in Bristol, Croydon, and Bensalem before heading to Philadelphia.

The West Trenton Line has stops at Yardley, Woodbourne, Langhorne, Neshaminy Falls, and Trevose stations in Lower Bucks County.
