  • nicked!

    Just saw someone getting their collar felt at Union Station for crossing the tracks – $110 fine.

    Again, I was the sole passenger to get on at Kennedy Go station. A few folks got off, which makes a change.

    Since it’s bike to work week, I felt very subversive taking my Brompton on board. GO Transit doesn’t like bikes on weekday trains, so basically you’re SOL if you have intermodal commuting needs.

  • Kennedy Go Station works

    The second train ever to pull into Kennedy Go Station

    It finally opened, with a big free breakfast bash (which I didn’t know about) and much Transport Minister appearances/festive atmosphere. Amidst all of the party, the GO staff at the station were a bit surprised that a) I wanted to get on the train, and b) that I actually had a valid ticket.

    So the train arrived a couple of minutes early, and I got on — the only person to do so. We grumbled off down the line (the Stouffville regulars saying hi, in a friendly way) and got into Union with just enough time for me to pick up a coffee and make the Burlington train. There was actually very little time or money saved, but there’s virtually no hassle.

    And just to prove I really did get that train:
    yep, that is the ticket

    “Please Call”, they say, but at $0.95/minute, I’m not suprised the phones on the GO train are moping.
