At least seven scheduled SEPTA train trips had been canceled because of manpower shortages, SEPTA spokesman Andrew Busch said.

SEPTA spokesman Andrew Busch said mid-evening Sunday that he couldn’t say what was behind the so-called call-outs — when workers call to say they will be out.

He added that he didn’t know precisely how many Sunday trips SEPTA runs. He did say there are 740 trips on weekdays, and that Sunday numbers are roughly 35 percent to 40 percent of that total, which would come to about 260 to 300 trips.
