Day 5: Breakin’ (down) the strikeFive days in and we’re still nowhere closer to a settlement. Pack it in for the long haul, people. Some recent developments: • Downed power lines caused delays of up to two hours on all Regional Rail lines during the evening rush hour yesterday. Reportedly, the lines were backed up all the way from the station to the Gallery. From 30th Street Station to the Gallery. [KYW1060] • Philly School District wants students to be able to get on Regional Rail with a token. Yeah. Over my cold, dead body (that’s clutching $3.75 for the ride to a Zone 3 station). [KYW1060] • Fast Eddie looks to enter the ring, provided the negotiations have a buffet. [DN] • The NBC10 SEPTA strike blogger has been idenfitied — online editor Teresa Masterson — and she can’t find a cab: “So I did the only thing I could do. In the words of Forest Gump, ‘I…WAS…RUNNING!’ I may have actually looked like Forest Gump, too.” [NBC10] • And when things are tough, it’s best to think of the little people: the strike is hurting Main Line commuters.
