SEPTA misguided "help"

[AmtrakBlue]

Agh! SEPTA added some morning trains to their modified Sat schedule for Friday & Monday to get workers from Newark to Philly, but no trains to get us home.

I so hope my manager can get her boss to approve my working from home on Friday since I want to be able to get to the apt in time to sign the lease.

I think you're a victim of poor web design.

My guess is that you are looking at this page, which describes 3 added morning inbound trains from Newark/Churchmans Crossing.

However, where you see the phrase "Additional Service from Newark and Churchmans Crossing", click on the underlined words "Additional Service."

It brings up a PDF of the actual special timetable. That shows the 3 inbound morning trains, but it also shows 3 outbound afternoon trains to

Newark. It also shows that the special trains have corresponding reverse commute options as well, for a total of 12 extra trains (compared to

a normal Saturday schedule.)

Apologies if I'm off-base in terms of what your frustration was.

Thank you! Yes, I missed the "Additional Services" link.
In fact, as I review it better later, it may have better times than the weekday train I take.
