Nope, no problems. They've not been on those trains (809/9820) in the morning or (9257/1256) in the afternoon all week. Speculation is lack of qualified crew.

That would make sence. It's just sad though because they rarely come to CHW in the morning when I go in to the city.

A reliable source from canada has alerted me that 702 is done climate testing and is on its way back from the NRC.

Actually, it's usually cheaper here than in Canada, on account of the taxes.

But most expensive in Ontario and British Columbia, thanks to the HST.

SEPTA has not yet posted the service schedule for the Silverliner V's fro June 27-July 1, however, I think the runs they are on now are to be the runs they will stay on until the next timetable change...

I heard the voice of a Silverliner V consist on Train 705 to Trenton this morning. Sadly, I could not see any numbers or consist length from my vantage point.

According to the website, five sets in service this week. Starts are 9597/9703/705/809/9216. However, I suspect the last one may be a fluke, since there's no w/b (s/b) turn for it. PLUS an off peak RT to Trenton.
