As expected, TWU 234 authorized a strike today in the event an agreement is not reached with SEPTA management. Unlike last year, there will be no contract extention.
Should a strike happen, it will be interesting for all of us to keep getting around. If you live in the city and happen to be near one of the few remaining RR stations you will still have options. The rest of us are out of luck.
I do know that extra trains will be added to help compensate for the additional loads. Routes like the Elwyn and Cynwyd will pick up some of the burden. Surprisingly, SEPTA will only add a few runs on Cynwyd. I guess no one rides it even when it is the only game in town.
Anyone care to elaborate if city transit strikes help or hurt the RRDs?
