Over on the Schedule/Service Discussion thread, on Saturday, silverlinerfan22 posted:
It appears for now the goal is to have 10 cars back by Sept.1st and 80 cars back in service by Halloween.
I don't know if this is pure wishful thinking, or is good news that they know something concrete about the problem AND how to repair it and parts/labor availability. It has been over 2 weeks since I have read about any official press conference on all of this from SEPTA. Has there been any official word from SEPTA lately involving the repair plan?
Then again, maybe they are keeping quiet because of swampoodle's rumor in the previous post....

PS. Related to my post last week about wanting to see the 2 pieces of the broken equalizers, it sounds like now it is at least 3 pieces - when it broke it was jammed in so tight that they had to cut it out.
