Yeah I can look into doing that

I made that map, what would you like to see me do with it?

Hawker Siddeley (the original manufacturer for these cars) originally designed them to be very modular, the Series 1 cars when they were first built had provisions for EMU conversion inside of them, however I assume after multiple rebuilds those provisions no longer exist or would work with...

Here’s a ownership map for anyone not familiar with what parts of the network are owned by Metrolinx: The spur on the Lakeshore East Line should be pointing down not up, and should also be to the left of Pickering, that was a mistake I did when I made this

Wasn’t that engine out of service for years due to reliability issues? I thought that was the reason why Metrolinx didn’t go forward with converting more engines

There was a proposal in the 2011 Bowmanville extension business case that suggested tunnelling under the existing Oshawa station parking lot to get to the CP line:

It was busy, not in the coach I was in however, because people don’t go to the 1st coach behind the engine as they’re coming from the Rogers Centre. In my personal opinion and I think the only thing that GO could’ve preemptively done to help something like that from happening is longer consist...

This wasn’t a peak train either, it was a weekend train that just happened to be the first departure after a Blue Jays game

Except there isn’t a frequency in these problems on GO, this is one of the first times I’ve ever seen or heard this happening, and it happened to cascade to a larger issue because it was a Aurora-bound Barrie Line train. Issues with people holding doors past their limit is not a common problem...

There is not. For the rest of the messages I’m going to refer you to Paul’s message from above, if they play nice to people and reopen the door every time there’s someone else running to the train, no GO trains would depart anywhere on time. Service is being expanded to the point that missing...

The doors automatically cycle through closing when a block is detected, 3 attempts each one with more force than the last to try and move debris from the door tracks, operator is completely unrelated. If it wasn’t like this half the trains would be delayed in the winter because salt got stuck...

I’m the one who tweeted that stuff, when the doors detect a blockage they try to close again 3 more times, each time getting progressively harder to try and force anything blocking the door out of the way, after the 3rd time the door must be manually cut out and back in (or just remain cut out)...

That’s not a Metrolinx area but there’s nowhere else that water could’ve come from but up (unless it flowed in from the Teamway), so I guess parts of the concourses did flood

Are you sure it wasn’t the video of the water flowing down the moat stairs? I don’t remember any GO parts of Union getting seriously flooded, only city of Toronto parts

Another alcove in the VIA Concourse closed this week, the one directly adjacent to the Tim Hortons. There’s probably another retail space going in there

Those doorways aren’t for public use and will have signs/codes for whatever the room has inside it, like other non-public rooms in Union. The wayfinding document for the Bremner Concourse shows some of them.

You’ll be happy to learn that’s exactly what happens in all the GO concourses at Union, there’s an even split between train and bus departure screens and they’re always located in pairs next to each other. I wonder why nobody else brought that up:

City manages the moats: Buses and trains actually actually used to share the same departure screens! It made about as much sense as it you’d imagine (hopefully you imagine that it doesn’t make sense):

You wouldn’t think it was that crazy back in 2018:

Another stall open in The Market
