MARC Train - Will operate Enhanced R schedule tomorrow (Wednesday, January 5th)

 

 

1/4/2022 7:54 PM

 

MARC Train will operate Penn, Camden and Brunswick Line service on the Enhanced R (or R+) schedule on Wednesday, January 5th due to the ongoing effects from today's winter storm. Only trains with an R or R+ under the train number in the Penn and Camden Line timetable and trains in the R/R+ schedule grid on the right side of the Brunswick Line timetable will operate.

If you ride MARC today, please follow our guidelines for winter weather travel:

--Allow ample time to drive to the station, park your car, and WALK to the train platform. There will be significant re-freezing overnight tonight.

--We strongly encourage passengers to wear shoes appropriate for winter weather. Dress shoes and heels are discouraged.

--MARC Facilities staff will be out treating platforms and parking lots, but some spots may be slippery. WALK slowly and take your time.

--When boarding your train, use handrails to walk through wet or slushy areas. Floors can be slippery.

Thank you for riding MARC Train. Further updates on service will be provided as conditions warrant.
