End of reading week traffic at Union Station bus terminal. Busiest I’ve ever seen at this terminal. Busy but in control.

Currently on the special weekend Kitchener Line train from Guelph this weekend. And the platform is packed! Lots of students and families utilizing the service. And something that’s never happened before at smaller GO stations: a live announcement over the PA system about crowding and the...

Good start. Although service to Port Dover in the summer should be added on.

Same I'm impressed that the track laying is moving forward. Can't wait to have 4 tracks on the Kitchener Line from Union all the way to the 401 tunnel up and in use!

Sounds like an election is in the air.

The last I heard is that it's 3 days a week. Given Sudbury's population and the high population density (for northern Ontario) between Sudbury and North Bay (Sturgeon Falls/West Nipissing has a higher population than you think) and the population density through the Muskokas and Almaguin...

It's in the works and awaiting funding. The Dundas interchange has been designed and the Mooreston bypass is shovel ready.

Glad you enjoy it! I know some travellers like to avoid the craziness at Union and will transfer at Bloor to Dundas West to avoid downtown and reach their final destination. This connection cannot come soon enough.

I would also like to add these things too to the transportation network to do list: Highway 35/115 being upgrade to full freeway status. Highway 11 from Barrie to Gravenhurst finally being upgraded to full freeway status. Seriously long weekend traffic gets scary with short merging lanes. Get...

I have a lot of questions about the validity of this post. It's rare to be on tour and film music videos. If it was a video you'd have official GO staff at the doors rather than just bodyguards. I feel like they got high, wrote some fan fiction, passed out, woke up and thought it was all real.

Plus Sydney had those cool cyberpunk waterfall projected stop signs to stop oversized trucks from entering the tunnels.

I'd like to see a Sudbury - Sturgeon Falls - North Bay - Toronto train that runs on the off days for the Northlander. Thereby giving North Bay and southwards 7 days a week service.

There's what? 3 double decker buses to meet the GO trains at mount Pleasant now on weekends? The demand is there and at some point it becomes more economical to run trains instead of at least 3 buses.

At that point the train itself becomes a safety hazard with no AC and unopenable (word?) windows. VIA really needs to set up a proper saftey to deal with disabled trains. I took the Canadian years ago during the dead of winter. We were stuck near Melville. delayed for hours but with running...

I already built one of those in Lego 😉

Have you thought about using my app Vandvoyage.com to show the positions of the trains overtaking? send me a DM and we can chat about features and things that would help out. *shameless plug over*

I like this little detail 😊 Great trip report! Next time you’re on the one that’s stuck for 10 hours please give us a play by play commentary as the train turns into Lord of the Flies.

Word on the street is that GO will be operating a special one day Oktoberfest train called the LederGOsen Line from Toronto Union to Berlin on October 12, 2024. Take GO Transit’s Special LederGOsen Line to K-W Oktoberfest Can we please, please finally get regular weekend service to Guelph and...

I highly doubt the political staff who was asked to make this in Canva is an enthusiast who is into trains

Hello fellow Kei truck enthusiast! After living in Vancouver where they are almost normalized it's cool to see the popularity growing in the east. People I know who use them personally are so frustrated with get insurance due to RHD. Only after 25 years do they become easier to insurance. Kei...
