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

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