but the enormous task of moving people out of the area is going on for several hours now. christie aleto is live now at 30th street station. how is it going there? >> reporter: slowly but surely septa is getting on to a train. fans were spanning several blocks, now the lines for the airport in wilmington are empty but the paoli line has shortened a bit and people are still outside waiting to get on and some of them still excited about the evening and others just frustrated about how slowly it takes to get on the train. >> we got online and we'll see how much an uber is. got on this line at 3:00 and 5:00 and we are still not on a train good they didn't account for the number of travelers going home. >> going to we had tickets it was good. but going home they didn't do so

much. >> it's a little hectic. but hey it's philly. >> we came in later, but getting out is pretty rough. it's a mess. zbri never seen a line this big in my life. >> we came out here and we were like oh my god. >> the mass of people we expected to wait. you just have to be patient and unfortuna unfortunately not everybody has but the majority has. >> that was the general sentiment people knew what they signed up for going to see their team and coming back. >> the regional paoli line, but the other lines have cleared out and able to get on to a train and all the market and frankford line stations resume service at

7:00 and those rides will be free. live at 30th street station, channel 6 "action news." >> part of the bargain. thank you christie. matt pellman is monitoring the rails and roads. >> i would echo what christy said it's improving but good that the septa is running the outbound regional rails until 9:30 tonight. some of the market frankford subways heading westbound are by passing the 8th street station that is really crowded all day long but as christie said they are resuming all stops starting at 7:00 although the trains free than ishe good news. >> patco is jersey bound only. on the roads the cleanup crews are in full force on the ben franklin parkway and we expect to get outer drives open soon

now. and the local streets should be opening soon and the schuylkill is busy. and if you hop on the eastbound side all traffic is stopped getting on to 26 and southbound as they try to clear a cra you head toward the platt bridge. >> thank you. cecily tynan, rick williams, jeff skversky are live at eakins oval where the eagles talked to that massive crowd. guys how did it go? >> reporter: well jim, i will say this. this super bowl bash was a super smash here at the art museum area and there are compare southerns to a rock concert. hundreds of thousands of people were here waiting for their rock stars to take the stage and it was quite eye performance. >> we dubbed it lombardigras. we watched highlights on the

jumbotron and it was exciting to be in front of the art museum and you see the lights of the police cars ahead of it and the crowds got more and more exciting and they started chanting and then swoop came out and the cheerleaders were here and they had an easy job rallying the crowd because we were already excited. >> among the best ovations came from when they showed on the jumbotron nick foles calling the philly special and delivering the trick play at the end of the half and a huge ovation and where would the team be without their two quarterbacks. nick foles and carson wentz and led them this way and got them this far and nick foles finished it. >> see how crazy eagles nation is. i stand here today and look out. you are the truly the best

football fans in the world and make it a joy and pleasure to play for you. >> i don't think words can describe what is going on here today. i never seen so many people in one spot celebrating in unity one thing. >> and how about zach ertz what he said later during the rally saying i promise you eagles fans this is not the final time we party down broad street. this team believes they can sustain this success for a long time. >> and they thanked the fans for not only waiting for hours but waiting a lifetime. >> and to borrow a term from sunday night. this party here today was the philly special. back to you. >> thank you guys. let switch live to chad pradelli along the ben franklin parkway. the buses turned on to the parkway when the players realized just how huge this turnout was. >> really an amazing scene out here jim and if the trash behind

me is any indication. you know how big this crowd is, was. i never seen so much debris here in philadelphia. heavy equipment is now cleaning up and this is one best spots to be in for this parade. some fans got here at 5:00, 6:00 a.m. and this was the end of the road for the convoy of buses when they finally made it here to the art museum and leading the way were the quarterbacks on top of the bus and they hoisted the lombardi trophy. mvp foles and carson wentz and the fans went absolutely nuts. i caught up with nelson agholor. and jason kelce gave the speech that will go down in parade lore. >> i talked to him before the speech. >> i figured out doing a parade in philadelphia do it philadelphia style and go

mummers. >> you were on the floats what was that feeling like? >> it was incredible. seeing everybody and seeing the sea of people and the support has been phenomenal. how late are you going to party tonight. i don't know i'm trying to make it through the parade. [ applause ] >> yes, can you see the fans were going wild and it was a great atmosphere out here. and fans were loving it and you couldn't ask for a better day. and it was chilly and the sun was out and this parade was something i have never seen. the papal visit was big and this was huge. and today many families and these players will never forget. chad pradelli, channel 6 "action news." >> thank you. also on the parkway is jaime apody, jaime you were with the players when they boarded the buses. and you were with the head coach

when the extraordinary event came to an end? >> reporter: i am one lucky girl. i was there when they got on the buses and some got off and were mingling with the crowd and the best was when jason kelce borrowed a police bicycle and went up and down the streets. and then on the steps i had an up close view of the rally and speeches. and the team realized they brought joy to philadelphia and the surrounding areas we are more helpful just as people that anything can happen. after the rally i had a chance to catch up one-on-one with doug pederson. >> how was that compared to the way you dreamed it up? >> it is surreal and kind of bring its home a bit seeing all the people here today and the support we had. it's amazing for these guys. and the team to go through what we went through this season and to be here on the parkway, and

on these steps, you know it's where the nfl draft was a year ago and we get to finish it off with a super bowl party. >> your players enjoyed it. and jason kelce is a hero forever? >> i think he'll have a statue next to rocky. >> what is your favorite thing? >> riding the buses and seeing it's joy on the fans faces. it was old, it was young and everybody in between and they all have a story and our players have a story and the team has a story and this championship means a lot for them. >> and you guys did it? >> we did it. it make its that much more special. >> indeed it does. this was about the underdog today and that is the ultimate underdog there doug pederson was named as the worst coaching hire of two years ago and a lot of those guys wednesday to twitter today to apologize. jaime apody, channel 6 "action news." >> a little con -- there was no

greater enthusiasm for the team than when the buses came up south street in philadelphia. trish it was quite an experience? >> what a place to be for the eagles victory here on broad street and packed to the gills and i have never seen such happy joyous eagles fans and they dispersed after they went by. and look at this video we shot early, they were here hours and hours before the parade began and they packed broad street. and some said it helped them stay warm because there was so many people packed in here and when the buses came through the crowd went crazy. and we met folks that came from all over including eerie, pennsylvania, and parents brought their children and will never forget seeing the lombardi trophy coming down broad street.

others can't wait to pass the pride on to future generations. >> i remember watching with my father and grandfather all wanting a super bowl. it brings tears to my eyes. they won it for all of us, people that made us sports fans. >> i am 8 months pregnant and his first super bowl parade. >> was he kicking in there? >> he was jumping. doing somersaults good we are die hard eagles fans. it's maybe a once in a lifetime thing. i mean we have never seen this. it's awesome to be here. >> reporter: it was awesome to be here and fans say they are hopeful it will not be their last victory parade and they are looking forward to next season. >> thank you. and coming up on "action news" tonight.
