Philly Voice: 5 SEPTA trolley lines to halt Center City service for a month due to tunnel work – From 10 p.m. on Friday, July 11, to 6 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 11, Center City trolley service will be suspended on lines T1 through T5. The hiatus will give crews the chance to clean and perform maintenance and repairs, which reduces service outages throughout the year and improves general safety. During the break, trolleys will begin and end at 40th and Market Streets in West Philly.
NBC: Schedule changes, station closures coming for PATCO riders – Starting July 14, the PATCO line will temporarily reduce late night service, between 12 a.m. and 4:30 a. m. on Monday through Friday, in an effort to improve cleanliness and safety. Trains will run every two hours instead of every hour until September 1, when they will be fully suspended during late night hours. Stations will also close on a rotating basis for cleaning and maintenance; for a schedule of station closures, see here.
