During the month of December, SEPTA crews will install new signal and power systems along the Warminster Line.

Trains will arrive and depart Glenside Station on regular weekend scheduled times.
On Friday, December 11, in preparation for the weekend work on December 12 and 13, inbound and outbound local and express shuttle buses will provide service in lieu of train service between Jenkintown and Warminster stations. Inbound substitute bus service from Warminster will start at 4:37 pm and outbound substitute bus service will start with the 7:30 pm. Departure from Jenkintown.
