When you go to the SEPTA .html file or the R3 schedule , this train does not exist. SEPTA Customer service has no answer for this. Someone I know is really fouled up because of this. Is there anyone we could contact , like the train-master about this? Thanks, Chuck

There are many errors on the web based schedules. Examples that I just happened to email SEPTA about last week: 1. The web based 110 Saturday schedule was showing the weekeday schedule. 2. The 102 has a different schedule on Saturday and Sunday. However the web based schedule had Saturday/Sunday as the same. 3. The extra holiday trips on Memorial and Labor Days on the 110, 123, etc. show up on the web based schedule as operating every Sunday. These same trips show up on the boards at 69th St. as well every Sunday. After emailing SEPTA three times the 110 and 102 were finally fixed. Barry in coustomer service has told me always go by the print schedule. So what does the print R3 say?

The combined printed time tablle does. That is the confusion. My friend is taking a different train. An R5 that is on the schedule.
