The "Silverliner Service" carried over one million passengers in 1980, but ridership was in steep decline from a variety of factors. On October 30, 1983, Amtrak reduced the service from 11 to 9 weekday round trips, prompting an 8% drop in ridership. A decrease to 6 weekday round trips on January 12, 1986, and 5 round trips on April 27, cut ridership by an additional 45%. The cuts included the termination of the "Keystone Executive". Despite the loss of service, fares doubled from 1980 to 1987. The single SEPTA round trip past Paoli to was cut in 1983, but two round trips were restored in March 1985, with additional midday and weekend service in 1988. Service was further extended to in 1990, with lower fares than Amtrak. By 1990, SEPTA carried 595,000 passengers west of Paoli, twice that of Amtrak's ridership on the entire "Keystone Service".
