Aside from an adult who laughed like a braying donkey. Laughed a lot too.<br /><br />If I didn't hear the WE day announcement from the conductor dude, it would have been like any other day. Going home at 4:30 was the same too.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16899384282803901021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-15479282044574229182017-09-29T07:37:42.577-04:002017-09-29T07:37:42.577-04:00My WE Day experience yesterday was just the opposi...My WE Day experience yesterday was just the opposite. A relatively small (maybe 10-12) group of kids got on the 6:03 express LSE from Oshawa with a teacher. They were enthusiastic, of course, and not surprisingly headed upstairs. Presumably someone either warned them that upstairs was the "Quiet Zone" (or possibly they suspected since I heard the teacher mention it). Immediately they came back to the first level, with the teacher saying, "Oh well - upstairs would have been fun, but we're certainly not quiet!".<br /><br />Everyone moved to the middle area of the car and sat. And that was, well, that. Barely heard them, and at one point, a student got up and approached the several adults standing by the doors to offer or point out seats (not realizing that the whole world suddenly stands at Pickering to be close to the doors when the train arrives at Union some 35 minutes later).<br /><br />I was impressed, and wished I had had the time and access to tell them so.Nora1968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-70554663455639245742017-09-28T15:24:21.679-04:002017-09-28T15:24:21.679-04:00I suppose this is annoying, but at the end of the ...I suppose this is annoying, but at the end of the day, GO Transit is "public" transit. Regular users need to use it, occasional users need to use it too and if they aren't up on all the "rules" of riding a GO Train, I think just a smidge of understanding may go a long way to ensuring that occasional users are encouraged to continue using the GO Train.GoTrainRidernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-33657402936910185722017-09-28T14:56:23.301-04:002017-09-28T14:56:23.301-04:00Special thanks to the geniuses at GO Transit for r...Special thanks to the geniuses at GO Transit for running a short 10 car train on the LSW line at the height of rush hour 7:17 am train. It was packed to the gills with commuters and students many of us couldn't squeeze on. Poor planning as per usual from Go.

They were pretty well-behaved around me, anyway, so no complaints.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18160376382277488872noreply@blogger.com
