SEPTA Restoring Full R2 Service Today

New R2 Warminster Schedules Effective (Today), Friday, Nov. 24

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the completion of a railroad maintenance project, SEPTA will restore midday train service on the R2 Warminster Regional Rail Line and operate with new schedules beginning (today), Friday, November 24th. The new schedules are available at Market East, Suburban and 30th Street Stations and SEPTA sales offices. Passengers may also view the schedules online at http://www.septa.org. Regular midday R2 Warminster train service will now operate between Warminster and Center City Philadelphia in time for the start of the holiday shopping season. SEPTA had been operating shuttle buses during the midday in place of trains along a portion of the route since early August due to the project. During the maintenance project SEPTA performed various procedures to improve reliability and provide more efficient service for riders including removing operating restricting vegetation, replacing railroad ties and resurfacing track.
