Reporter good morning, two major impacts here where we are at 30th street station, signs there amtrak saying amtraks keystone line is delayed and they have had delays running for about an hour. Also, as we just heard, from bob kelly, septas Paoli Thorndale Regional Rail line is down for the morning rush at this time because of two sets of repairs that crews to have make. Crews working harder because it is taking longer to deal with these power issues on the amtrak system there. As we go to video septa buses were called into get people who work in center city home during last nights evening rush. Buses traveled outbound from 30th street station toward thorndale. Septa Officials Say that system wont be in place for morning commute. Those buses wont get people who traveled Paoli Thorndale to work, so you have to find a different way to get there. All this happening around 5 30 yesterday when those Power Outages and signal problems knocked out of service to the Paoli Thorndale line. Amtrak owns the track, and septa lanes run. Amtrak reported one hour delays then. Amtrak had delays on the keystone line. As we say crews continue to work on all of this, definitely seek alternative routes.

It could be a rough commute for people rely on the septa Paoli Thorndale line or else the keystone line with amtrak, back to you. That is a nightmare. As bob kelly has been saying there is no word on amtrak. The is there no information at all. It hasnt been updated in weeks it sound like. This happened add 12 hours ago and septa overnight didnt realize that they could not fix line and have some buses and place. Everybody is left scrambling along one of the busiest routes in the area. Reporter yeah, big question is perhaps why not at least run that bus contingency plan for the morning like they did last night. The it seemed like a stop gap last night but as bob said amtrak hasnt updated its twitter page since march 1st he said. Generally they dont update that page very frequently. This would be a critical time for people who have to get out to the harrisburg area. A lot of questions here. Just a big mess. Not just getting out to harrisburg people working in philadelphia if you are in narberth and need to get in philly, what will you do call a cab and uber and then that is money out of your pocket.
