Shuttle Buses Replace Trains for Chestnut Hill West Line on Weekends

The Chestnut Hill West SEPTA line will use shuttle buses instead of trains to ferry passengers from Chestnut Hill to Center City on Saturdays and Sundays from July 20 through August 25.

The change in service comes due to overhead power line work as well as signal and track work.

Heading into Center City

Passengers traveling to Center City may pick up a shuttle bus at the Chestnut Hill West Station, Highland, St. Martins and Allen Lane.  That bus will then become an express to North Philadelphia Station.

Also, passengers can pick up a separate shuttle bus at Carpenter Lane, Upsal, Tulpehocken, Chelten Avenue and Queen Lane.  That bus will then also become an express to North Philadelphia.

Upon arrival at North Philadelphia Station, passengers will board a train to Center City that will depart 10 minutes later than regularly scheduled train times.

Heading into Chestnut Hill

When leaving Center City for Chestnut Hill, passengers will take a train to North Philadelphia Station.  Once they arrive at North Philadelphia, one bus will shuttle passengers to Highland Station, St. Martins, Allen Lane and Chestnut Hill West.  A separate shuttle will take passengers to Queen Lane, Chelten Avenue, Tulpehocken, Upsal and Carpenter Lane. 

All trains and shuttles heading towards Chestnut Hill will leave at their regularly scheduled train times. 

SEPTA advises passengers to add an addition 30 minutes to their commutes.
