Sounds like a mistake to me. when you put your hand in an elevator door you delay no one. When you block a train door you can screw over hundreds.

There may have been a time where maintenance was first class but that certainly is not now. There are coaches which have been running on half HVAC since last summer. It's unacceptable and Metrolinx deserves every piece of criticism that they get for the poor air quality and poor heating and cooling on their trains.

photo was deleted but a go employee posted a photo of the air quality screen in the coach and it was something like 2000+ PPM

Just noticed this about the Richmond Hill line. Wonder how long it'll last and what work needs to be done to eliminate this?

Don’t worry. They’re getting a subway.

I wish RH had more frequent service, even if just between OC and Union

Unfortunately there isn't a practical way to do so.

Wonder when if ever the bridge over the brickworks will be activated, and what happened to the plan for the layover yard in the Don valley.
Also on my ride today, I’m honestly amazed by the anti social behaviour of some people

Re Don Layover
Metrolinx identifies new location for GO layover facility
New location will proceed to planning and design phase to increase service and support GO Expansion.

Re 'half-mile bridge' there's speculation it could be part of VIA HFR...

If the Leaside Spur trail was reactivated for full rail service (no chance the community is okay with that), get track rights from CP's Toronto sub, or get permission to build parallel trackage (extreme pipe dream) and then use CP's old bridge and right of way over the Don to get to the Bala sub in a less flood prone manner, does that solve the Richmond Hill Line's problems?
If all of these basically never-will-happen plans are carried out, would MX increase frequency on RH? Or is demand genuinely that low, with the subway going to RH soon?

Add one more element to your "if" statement...... a grade separation over the CN York Sub at Doncaster. CN will not be happy with additional trains over the diamond crossing that line.And CP would also deman grade separation.
-Could GO add more peak service trains on closer headways? Perhaps, if ridership demanded it (It doesn't). But all-day 2WAD service seems unlikely even if the route were moved as you suggest. There is only so much funding, and RH is well down the list of projects in terms of return on that investment. The funding will never arrive.
And no, the Leaside Branch is not coming back, ever. That part truly is fantasy at this point.

I can only imagine the type of person that does something like that has no care about the others around them, and simply walks the earth seeking out cheap pleasures at everyone else's expense.
What really irritates me about this is often I hear people complain about anti-social behaviour on public transit. It's one of those reasons why some people opt to drive their car instead. Stuff like this only re-enforces those beliefs. Not that the person who did this would even care. They'll do it again.
nah bro, I'm, going to continue holding out hope.

Exactly. People's health is being negatively impacted at this point, it's beyond just being comfortable. These Co2 numbers are echoed by people who ride with the sensors, too.

I'll add that the Leaside spur slash rec trail has an at-grade crossing on Lawrence just east of Leslie, which I imagine would cost a lot to convert into a separated crossing in the unlikely event this spur is reactivated
