Supplement train, what?

Was the flower show that busy today or was it something else that this train had to be supplemented?
Lansdale/Doylestown: Train #566 going to Doylestown is being supplemented, the new train will start at 30th Street Station, departing at 6:11PM.

I'm guessing they either added cars to handle the crowds or substituted a whole new set, possibly due to a mechanical issue..

There were Malvern bound trains that were only 2 cars and greatly unmatched for the crowds that awaited them at Reading Terminal/Market East/Jefferson or whatever its called today. Way to go SEPTA.

I thought the Paoli/Thorndale line was one of their most pampered lines...
