A fire in a SEPTA substation overnight is disrupting service on some trolley lines in West Philadelphia this morning.

One SEPTA worker suffered non life threatening injuries injured in the fire around 2 a.m. in the substation at the 33rd and Market Street subway station.

Because of the fire-related power outage, service on trolley Routes 11, 13, and 34 is terminating at 50th & Woodland, where passengers can get buses to the Market-Frankford Line for the trip into Center City.

Shuttle buses are operating in place of Route 10 and Route 36 trolleys to 40th and Market Streets for connection to the Market-Frankford Line into Center City.
