Anyone know of any recent serious SEPTA discussion of extending Regional service from Norristown to Pottstown? I've heard public calls for this due to chronic congestion on 422; I'm thinking that, rather than something extravagant like the old Schuylkill Metro idea, this could be done on the cheap with used push-pull cars & diesel locos, with a transfer at Norristown (can't run diesels into Center City for obvious reasons). Does this seem within the realm of real near-term possibility? And does anyone know what Norfolk Southern's attitude is toward this?
