And SEPTA is still not addressing the weekend bottleneck @ Market East. I've suggested on SEPTA's FB page to move the R2 Marcus Hook/Wilmington's departure time @ Market East from X:29 to X:25.

A side benefit would be the resulting 4-minute increase in layover time at Wilmington every 2 hours. As it is there is almost literally not a minute to spare.

So 9724 and 9745 are no longer PP sets. Which runs are the PP sets now relegated to?

Pretty sure two AEMs are just out for repairs right now.

Normally, I would assume that. Except I asked the conductor, who replied "No more bombers." If not for that, I wouldn't be asking "Where are they now?"

The only assumption I have is that they are now delegated to a run on the Main Line. Given the declining reliability of the toasters and the incoming teething issues for the Sprinters, maybe they want to keep them closer to the shop?

I think the Newark express #9254 is being run as a push-pull set as I saw one pass by as I was waiting for a Norristown outbound train #8270 from North Broad on Monday (MLK Day)...

I was sent the following from a reliable source regarding PP assignments:

AM
1502, 1295, 9212
9526
9538
D9301, 9340
6321
6325

PM
9559 (possibly now 9563?)
9561
1565
9251, 9254* (*confirming JeffersonLeeEng's observation)
6374
6378

Believed correct; any typos are all my own work ...
