Beginning with the first train Saturday morning, through end of service Sunday on the following days: April 22nd through 23rd and April 29th through 30th, SEPTA shuttle buses will replace all Route 101 & 102 Trolleys between 69th Street Transportation Center and Media (Orange Street) & Sharon Hill Station. Customers should plan for approximately 15 minutes of additional travel time and look for signage at stations for bus boarding locations.
As a friendly reminder, SEPTA’s Route 101/102 track project is the installation of new a communications system, Communications Based Train Control (CBTC), which will automatically enforce trolley separation (stopping, to prevent accidents) and provide overspeed and roadway worker protection. We will also be addressing some necessary track improvements to pave the way for our Trolley Modernization project that is scheduled for a few years out.
The construction for this project began in the summer of 2015 and will conclude this summer, 2023. At any point there is construction along either line in accordance with this project, we put a bus substitution in place to allow our crews to test locations along both lines.
