So I guess the question that they have to figure out was why did they have trouble coupling and decoupling the trains and what can be done to prevent it in the future. Also how did they get it to Brockville but could not return to Ottawa or get to Toronto?

Their job is to provide transportation from point A to B safely and within a timeline. When rural services are cancelled customers are taxi'd to their destination on VIA's dime. The same should be in the corridor. Giving me my money back and leaving me to fend for myself is useless. Same...

So it's a no brainer

Given these recent problems in the corridor what are some possible solutions? More spare crews? Better incident management? Placement of spare consist at Ottawa Station? IF crews were available could they have used one of the consists for the morning to go to Brockville and transfer the...

More operating hours for ops. More wear and tear because you complete trips faster you do more trips which means less spares and more maintenance on equipment and track. And more consumption of power. How much does that cost? Maybe 10-15%.

Take the microwave and put it in the shopping cart and take it to the parking garage (which is free if you buy something) and put it in the car. No need to park on the street.

One cold slice. Great 👍

But now these incompetent people get to look like heros.

Still need to improve signalling at Georgetown since today it's still within yard limits which makes trains crawl through there.

Who cares what it looks like when you can't even get it to work. Also they knew it was going to snow this morning and they didn't manually clean the switches before service started. Come on. Nobody took a truck and drove the line with a broom to see if the switches are clear?

One of the passengers did say that they are being fed. I don't know what that means thou. They don't have a contingency or a plan to get people hotels? It's Brockville I'm sure they can find 100 empty rooms or send people to Ottawa by Taxi or Uber. The roads couldn't have been that bad.

So they sent morning trains through Brockville knowing that there is a train blocking the platform and telling customers that they will be moving shortly is incredibly stupid. There used to be a siding behind the station building but it was torn up. Perhaps an additional track to allow trains...

What a disaster. How were they not able to uncouple the trains? I'm sure that this is due to compatibility between old and new equipment. They need to work on deploying more Siemens trains to the corridor and improve their reliability.

But they did a static test with a GO trainset and towed it around the yard so that shouldn't be the case

I would guess it has to do with the fact that the legacy fleet is not compatible with the simens train preventing it from being towed. So they might have to deploy another Siemens set to rescue that train. And find a crew to operate it and have CN give them a slot. I guess I they could J...
