A hot mess on the Barrie line

This had to hurt, especially for those who managed to leave the office at a decent time to head home on the Barrie line tonight.

According to Lady in Pink (who is pretty much my Barrie correspondent):

Why is there always something wrong with the Barrie line...I get to union and the 4:10 train has been canceled so everyone for the 4:10 and 4:40 has crammed on the train and we are still waiting at union (pls note its 4:50 as I write this) everyone who didn't fit is out on the platform which is so full people can't get out on to it...

The csa's announcement was just we are waiting for the go ahead from go transit to proceed and to what direction we are going on...let's hope we are headed towards barrie.

So frustrated...

All "...as a result of a fallen electrical wire south of York University"

And GO wants to electrify.

LOL I thought the same thing as I listened on... "I dont know where all you kids are heading but I sure as shit am going home to Newmarket." It was a mess going home, then the priority alarm on my car was pushed, to which the Casa couldnt not turn off bc she couldnt access the panel for the hoards of turnips jammed onto the train.
Got home approximately 30-40 late.

The "what direction" comment was probably because it's possible to go up the Barrie line via Bramalea/Malton, although you miss York University by doing so. If the wires couldn't be fixed in a short period of time, that would have been the best option.
