Throwdown in the Quiet Zone of the 3:43 LSE?

VIA EMAIL

One of the ladies I chat with in the morning was talking with a woman she rides the train with in the afternoon and apparently, a fight broke out on the 3:43 pm LSE Tuesday afternoon. Guy was sleeping, guy across the way was yammering on his cell phone in the Quiet Zone, guy wakes up and punches yakker. Yakker removes earpiece and hauls off and hits sleeping-now-awake-but-pissed guy in the face.

That's all I know. Did anyone else hear about this?

If it's true, it's pathetic.

LOL. The proponents of the Quiet Zone constantly admonish that they are in favour of the QZ because, in a direct quote from a rider whose identify I'll keep private, it supposedly "forces people to behave properly".

Guess not.

Wow. While I've often dreamed of doing such a thing (much like CJ's chainsaw fantasies), it's hard to imagine having a short enough fuse to actually do it. The furthest I've gone is to cast annoyed looks at the QZ offenders.

Isn't the QZ for rush hour trains? I know it was, don't know if that has changed.
This would not even qualify as rush hour, would it? Thought that started post 4PM.

GO hasn't defined. People assume it's trains between:

5:30 and 8:30

3:30 and 6:30

All based one little tweet sent out way back when that was then deleted.

Rush hour times from the GO website:

Rush hour includes all trains arriving/departing Union Station before 9:30 a.m. and all trains leaving/arriving at Union Station between 3:00 and 7:30 p.m., Monday to Friday.

I think it extends to 7pm. The QZ is still active on the 6:43 pm Union to Oshawa.

Thank you for clarifying.

Of course, Chatty Cathy and Talkative Ted have no idea what these hours are or what defines a rush hour train.

One can get fed-up with all the "domestic coup de tats" who comprise a lot of the "average Joes and Janes" of the world.

Maybe this "sleeper" has simply "had enough" other people's invasive behaviors.
