    The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority has begun service to its newest Regional Rail Station, at the same time it has introduced new schedules.

    The new Wawa Station at 1490 W. Baltimore Pike in Media, Pa., is the southwestern endpoint of what is now the Media/Wawa line (formerly Media/Elwyn), and carries the Wawa name because of a $5.4 million naming-rights agreement announced last month (see “New SEPTA station has new name …,” Trains News Wire, July 28, 2022). The 3.6-mile extension to the Wawa station opened Sunday, Aug. 21, and is the first addition to Regional Rail service since 1985.

    Sunday also marked the introduction of new Regional Rail schedules, which include restoration of early-morning Airport Line service on weekends; earlier services to the Center City on the Trenton, Lansdale/Doylestown, and West Trenton lines; and other schedule adjustments. More information and links to the new schedules are available here.

    The two-term, at-large Council member said he’s considering running because Philadelphia is a “city in crisis.”

    Philadelphia City Councilmember Allan Domb is resigning Monday and said he is considering running for mayor, the first major step by a contender toward making a bid in 2023.

    The two-term at-large Council member and real estate magnate stopped short of declaring his candidacy for Philadelphia’s top job, but he will be the first elected official in the city to resign from his current post to potentially run for mayor. The city charter requires city officeholders quit their jobs to seek another office.

    In an interview with The Inquirer, he said he’s considering running because Philadelphia is a “city in crisis.” He said he hasn’t set a timeline for making a decision and will spend the next several weeks talking to residents and business owners.

    “Our city needs a leader, a champion,” said Domb, a Democrat. “You have to love people. You have to want the job. We need a mayor who wants the job.”
