PHILADELPHIA, PA —  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 Friday, Nov. 24.

The new schedules can be obtained at Market-East, Suburban and 30^th Street Stations and SEPTA sales offices. Passengers may also view the schedules online.

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.

Riders may telephone the SEPTA Customer Service Department at (215) 580-7800 for information on all service.
