Thorndale line train service has resumed between Philadelphia and Chester County after an hours-long disruption, SEPTA said.

Service to and from Center City Philadelphia was suspended for several hours until about 6:45 p.m. SEPTA posted on X just before 7 p.m. that service was resuming from Gray 30th Street Station on the line on track 1.

A few minutes later, the transit agency posted that the first train into Center City on the line would be train 5352 departing from Malvern Station.

Service was also suspended on the Cynwyd line.

Downed wires overhead caused the issue, SEPTA posted on social media. 

Amtrak and SEPTA crews cleared the area and have started repairs, officials said, but service will remain suspended until the repairs are completed.

Alternative service suggestions are available using the SEPTA Trip Planner.

Trains were stopped for multiple hours Monday afternoon.
