As a result, the West Trenton Line will convert to a single tracking operation between Jenkintown-Wyncote and Neshaminy Falls stations. On Saturdays and Sundays during September, from 6 am to 6 pm, ALL trains will board and discharge passengers on the INBOUND platform. There will also be a temporary speed reduction during this time which will impact travel times. This will affect the following stations: Noble, Rydal, Meadowbrook, Bethayres, Philmont, Forest Hills, Somerton, Trevose and Neshaminy Falls.
