I'm happy that they will be implementing it in what I hope to be the immediate future, but this is ultimately just bringing SEPTA up to the state of the art of a decade or two ago, at least, of international standards.

I wonder if the timers will be implemented on only the Trolley Tunnel Stations or also the new surface stops to be built for Trolley Modernization. When Trolley Modernization will be implemented is another open question.

More than a decade. I remember them in London c. 1990, and NYC has had them at least twenty years.

A key point of trolley modernization stations is having this arrival signage. They talk about it and show it off in some of the webinars.

Not only the trolleys, but the NHSL eventually needs this down the line (even if the NHSL gets them last)

We're already designing/building streetscape improvements to accommodate the trolley modernization project (see: island ave), so at least it'll happen sometime in the next few years (TM)
