Reporter slowly but surely the lines are moving. You are looking at live pictures of septa Regional Rail line, the last hour the lines for the airport has gone down significantly. This line for the wilmington line is very, very long and spans two blocks and turns over to market street. And also i want to show you back here in the distance that is the line for the paoli line it curves around 30 and street station and dumps on to jfk in the direction of 20th street. A lot of people have mixed emotions about waiting in the line. Some people say this have been here 45 minutes to an hour. Others are simply frustrated with how slow everything is moving. They didnt account for the number of travellers going home. Coming to we had tickets it was good and going home they didnt do so much. Septa Regional Rails to the right. I spent 10 to get a commuter pass to get home. I dont think ill will he abe to do that. That is unfortunate will getting out is pretty rough. Not that bad it may get worse though. Its hectic though. Its philly we are having fun and enjoying it. That is the general consensus out here. You know what . Hey we are out here celebrating our team and happy excited eagles fans in line. But of course the line is long and septa warned people about that and they are asking people to be patient and many people are but some like you heard are a little frustrated. Christie aleto channel 6 action news. Thank you. Great job. The action cam at the Transportation System in upper darby. They are using the l to pick up the high speed line and its a nice light stream at this moment but steady coming from the parade in center city. And of course we are taking a look at traffic jams happening this afternoon. Bound to happen tonight. This one is actually not for the cars, look closely here. Its for the pedestrians.

Hundreds of people are walking back to the new jersey side from center city and the bridge has not seen that kind of foot traffic by the way since the papal visit. Lets switch live to matt pellman. The difference was the during the papal visit the bridge was closed to cars and they could walk down the bridge. For the most part people are rolling with the punches. We warned you yesterday it would not be easy and indeed it hasnt been. Getting out everyone tries to do that. Outbound runs until 9 30 tonight. And may take some of you to nearly 9 30 to get on a train. Some trains on the market frankford line heading westbound bypassing the 8th street station. It was too crowded and into new jersey on the patco line and all trains are running eastbound every 8 minutes. Traffic running on the vine street expressway not quickly. They are get ougt of town and off the city streets like the ben franklin parkway and on the highway. West vine backed up to the schuylkill. And the schuylkill is a slow go stop and go the whole way from the vine to king of prussia. The crash approaching 202 is off to the side and 95 a couple of accidents southbound and speeds in the teens by the airport. Lots going on well check it again in the next half hour.

But we saw one gentlemen wheeled in his chest bloody, his friended say he was stabbed and police are following up. And more serious injuries include fans falling from poles or trees up high and some were hit by flying beer cans including these High School Students friend. It bounced off his head and off my shoulder and he seemed okay and then i saw blood going down his head.
