In addition, the operation of the Regional Rail system will be radically altered that weekend. Each line will have limited outer stations (some just one), and each will serve only one center city station (University City, 30th Street or Jefferson Station). Suburban Station will not be used for any Regional Rail operations that weekend. Prior to the day's events, service will be inbound only (5:30am to noon). No passengers will be permitted to board in center city to go to an outer station during the inbound slots. After the events, service will be outbound only, with no passengers permitted inbound.
The NJ Transit/SEPTA Trenton connection will be broken since SEPTA will not be operating to Trenton. The Airport Line will operate as two lines with trains from two airport stops to Jefferson Station, and other trains from Eastwick to University City.
Here is a listing of the outer station(s) and center city station for each rail line. I've never seen anything like this. This will be a good weekend for locals to stay home or head to the shore. Pity the poor traveler who stumbles into this mess by accident.
