I parked here, thinking there would be an option of a number of trains, but three have passed since ive been here. Septa tells us five lines had to be turned around. Express trains today due to crowding on the trains. They bypassed the glenside and jenkins town train station. Septa was able to get trains back up to passengers at those stations for s
