Service has been restored on two SEPTA regional rail lines impacted by downed wires on Monday afternoon, officials said.
Downed overhead wires near 30th Street Station in Philadelphia led to repairs that interrupted service on the Paoli-Thorndale and Cynwyd lines shortly after 4 p.m.
Just before 7 p.m., SEPTA said that service was restored on the Paoli-Thorndale line. Service had already concluded for the day on the Cynwyd line by that point, but a SEPTA spokesperson confirmed that service should be back to normal on both lines in time for the Tuesday morning commute.

SEPTA said the issue was with Amtrak and the transit agency sent workers to make the repairs. The repairs led to SEPTA suspending their Cynwyd and Paoli-Thorndale lines in both directions at the height of the evening rush.
Passengers on the Paoli-Thorndale line returned to 30th Street Station and were transferred to a shuttle bus.
Officials have not yet revealed the cause of the downed wires. No injuries have been reported.
