Planning to take the train toward Norristown this weekend? The Borough of Conshohocken says buses will replace trains on the Norristown Line between Conshohocken Station and Elm Street Station on October 24 and 25, and again on November 7 and 8. The reason is PECO wire repair work. I guess the trains are taking the weekend off, so leave extra time and check the borough notice for the details.
