Shuttles to temporarily replace weekend rail service at select stations on SEPTA’s Manayunk/Norristown line

Rail service on SEPTA’s Manayunk/Norristown line will be replaced with shuttle buses between Elm Street and Wissahickon Train Station on select weekends, starting this weekend, through March.

The change in service, which is the result of track and signal work along the line, will be in effect on the weekends of Jan. 5 and 6, Jan. 12 and 13, Feb. 2 and 3, Feb. 9 and 10, Feb. 16 and 17, and March 23 and 24.

Passengers traveling inbound to Center City will board shuttle buses at the Elm Street Station 32 minutes before their regularly scheduled train times. The shuttle bus will stop at Main Street, Norristown Transportation Center, Conshohocken and Spring Mill Stations before expressing to the Wissahickon Train Station.

Passengers traveling to Manayunk or Ivy Ridge Stations should transfer from the shuttle buses to inbound trains at Wissahickon Train Station. Those who typically use the Miquon station are advised to board at the Spring Mill Station instead.

Passengers traveling outbound to Norristown will board shuttle buses at the Wissahickon Train Station, which will express to Spring Mill Station before stopping at Conshohocken, Norristown Transportation Center, Main Street and Elm Street Stations.

Buses will arrive and depart the Wissahickon Train Station at regularly scheduled times, but passengers should plan to add about 32 minutes to their trips.
