Monday’s commute for local SEPTA Regional Rail riders was a doozy.
Power problems throughout the Regional Rail system caused problems on several lines, including the local Trenton, Warminster and West Trenton branches, according to SEPTA.
The regional public transit system said in a Tweet that crews were working as of 11 a.m. to fix the power problem. They also stated service was about an hour behind schedule.
SEPTA Regional Rail riders have reported to NewtownPANow.com that they have been stuck on trains for up to an hour due to the service interruptions.

@SEPTA @septa_social It's really frustrating when there aren't any updates for the stuck passengers. No updates in 40 minutes.

@SEPTA_SOCIAL luckily a train came about 10 minutes after my tweet. I understand there was a lot going on today. Thanks for doing your best
