Just more fed up commuters.<br /><br />In terms of your e-mail I would suggest:<br /> - Follow up with an e-mail to Metrolinx Customer Service<br /> - Follow up again with a phone call (or two).<br /><br /><br />I'd love to get confirmation on why all these screw ups occurred and if anything is being done to address them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-47971743714507140442015-06-23T09:13:39.181-04:002015-06-23T09:13:39.181-04:00Thank you for clarifying, Anonymous.

Upon arrival at Union Station, a Bombardier person (assumed to be the conductor) would appear from their compartment and open the south side doors with their magical keys, so pax could scoot across the platform to catch the 16:25 LSE express train.Peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-87497387019850166182015-06-22T23:53:53.549-04:002015-06-22T23:53:53.549-04:00If the train is eastbound there are no crew member...If the train is eastbound there are no crew members in the cab car.....banging on the door will only leave you with sore hands. The engineer and conductor are in the locomotive when the train is eastbound. If a bus is delayed, the only way the train will hold is if it is told to do so by GO operations. If ops doesn't contact the train crew, they will leave as scheduled. At least that answers the question as to why there was no information relayed from the conductor to the CSA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-28596948594006780192015-06-22T13:35:27.833-04:002015-06-22T13:35:27.833-04:00In my opinion, yes they will.

This, while deplorable, follows the same mentality that means that, unless and until someone suffers a serious injury (or worse) as a result of an ungoverned intersection, no stop lights will appear there - regardless of how clearly unsafe the situation is.<br /><br />Of course, it's always possible that this particular driver was an exception, but based on Peter's comments in the letter he sent, this is just one of a series of problematic and disappointing situations where policies have not been followed. I'd be interested in the response (if any) Peter receives.Nora1968noreply@blogger.com
