After weeks of delays and cancellations, some relief is on the way for Regional Rail commuters.

SEPTA announced Sunday that express service will resume on all trains during the evening rush starting Monday night. However, morning rush trains will continue to make all local stops.

The transit agency says riders should still expect crowded trains and skipped stations, and service could be canceled or delayed.

SEPTA's service has been rocked by federally mandated safety upgrades on its Silverliner IV railcars over the past month. The Department of Transportation ordered the safety checks in early October after five cars caught fire in the Philadelphia area since February.

More than 200 Regional Railcars were taken out of service for inspections, and many still need additional maintenance before they can start transporting passengers. Railcars are also being outfitted with thermal protection circuits, which can detect if a car is overheating.

Monday afternoon, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Secretary of Transportation Mike Carroll announced that $220 million in capital funding is being allocated to SEPTA. Shapiro's administration says the money will help the agency comply with federal safety orders and keeps existing fleets running while new railcars and trolleys are built.
