The Authority confirmed it printed schedules for at least eight Regional Rail lines – Chestnut Hill West, Cynwyd, Fox Chase, Lansdale/Doylestown, Manayunk/Norristown, Media/Elwyn, Paoli/Thorndale and Wilmington/Newark – with mistakes.

While the misprints include errors on several dozen train routes across all seven days in the week, SEPTA pointed out some of the errors are more minute details that many commuters don't notice like key codes.
At the moment, the total estimated cost of reprints is $20,000, according to the transit agency – although that could go up if more errors are spotted on other lines' schedules. The reprint order has yet to be placed. Once it is made, it will take four to six weeks to complete.

Well, it's still MUCH cheaper than the $7 million dollar mistake at Trenton a few years ago
