The Silverliner III's, as well as the Silverliner II's, have been retired from service since June 2012. Most of them are scrapped, so obviously, they will never come back to service again.

Some interesting new changes. Midday Airport-Jenkintown trains will alternate between Glenside and Warminster.

The best times to catch push pull trains are both of the rushes (AM and PM). As for the locations, there are lots of popular rail-fanning spots on the system. 30th Street Station (especially the Commuter Tunnel portal between 30th Street and Suburban) is one.

I've been getting alot of alerts this afternoon about police activity aka a fatality somewhere between Bryn Mawr and Norristown... any idea what happened and where?

You make a lot of good points about the schedules and the system being safe. I do agree that the technology has slowed down trains. I too would like to see the old timetables as well.

Considering the fact that they rolled this out just as some of the Silverliner V's begin to come back....

Yeah, I have seen the IV's towing V's moves before.

I assume most likely that they will be cleaned off, not only those but a couple of Silverliner IV's and push-pull trailers/cab cars were hit as well.
