from the inbox:

SEPTA is in postseason mode, with extra service ready for fans heading to Lincoln Financial Field Sunday for the Eagles-Packers playoff game.

Kickoff for this NFC Divisional Round contest is scheduled for 4:30 p.m., and SEPTA’s gameday service begins hours earlier with Sports Express trips on the Broad Street Line. The Broad Street Line provides service to the Linc and other venues at the Sports Complex in South Philadelphia via AT&T Station. Fans can connect to the subway from a variety of other transit modes. SEPTA and the Philadelphia Parking Authority have also partnered to offer an inexpensive and convenient park-and-ride option.

EXTRA GAME-DAY SERVICE
• Sports Express trips begin supplementing regularly scheduled service on the Broad Street Line at 1:10 p.m. Service continues every 10 minutes thereafter until game-time.
• Starting at 2 p.m., service on the Market-Frankford Line will be supplemented with six additional trains – three each from 69th Street and Frankford Transportation Center.
• Express and Local Broad Street Line trains will be waiting at AT&T Station after the game to get fans home.

CONNECTIONS
• The Market-Frankford Line provides a free and convenient connection to the Broad Street Line at City Hall/15th Street. This free interchange is also available for riders on Trolley Routes 10, 11, 13, 34 and 36.
