Hey, I love this template and thanks for adding it! But surely the subway-surface lines belong on here as well?

This template deals with the SEPTA Regional Rail lines in their present form. The R4 line was proposed as a local service from Bryn Mawr but never implemented. That's why the R4 should not be in the template.

Actually the history is much more complicated - SEPTA Regional Rail describes it in detail. There's no reason to restrict the template to the present form. --SPUI (talk) 07:55, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2005-10-26T07:55:00.000Z","author":"SPUI","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-SPUI-2005-10-26T07:55:00.000Z-Pilatus-2005-10-24T13:46:00.000Z","replies":["c-Pilatus-2005-10-27T00:42:00.000Z-SPUI-2005-10-26T07:55:00.000Z"]}}-->

We don't have defunct lines (such as the trackless trolleys) in the template, so there is no reason to have lines that never existed in the template.

Removed the R4 link. If someone writes about the proposed R4 service (if I remember correctly, it was a Bryn Mawr-Fox Chase local) then the link should be added back.

I've been unable to find any other templates that use the same format as this one, where active lines & route are completely separated from the inactive ones, rather than in appropriate subsections.

• Well, {{Amtrak routes}} puts all the former services in one place, regardless of geography (the relevant factor when dividing up those services).
