this happened earlier this year

The Pennypack Limited, Neshemany Limited and North Penn Limited will lose those names and will instead be simply labeled express. The Schuylkill Valley Flyer name will be removed, and the service will be labeled express. The Great Valley Flyer, though, will keep its name.
Of course, that one express that keeps a special name is on the only SEPTA Regional Rail Line that matters to them.
Incidentally, as soon as I read the earliest messages in this topic and first learned of SEPTA's new schedules, I realized that they're going to need equipment to serve this favored line. And thinking only about me, my big worry was that a prime run to cut out of the schedule would be 6370 and the Reading side of 3755. Fortunately, my train is safe for now. But if long overdue Huntingdon Pike bridge replacement work begins, it will be a lot easier for me to go to Meadowbrook than Bethayres, and that skipping of Meadowbrook (and Neshaminy Falls) by 3755 was not restored in this schedule change. I'll bet you'd never see a reverse commute Paoli/Malvern/Thorndale local skipping Daylesford!
Soon you will need to be in your 60s in order to remember the 60s.
