It's not Kitchener. It is literally everything.

About the efforts to make all-day 15min service available on the core network.... perhaps this represents a minor obstacle? Should GO maybe find a way to disconnect from CN where possible? Is the reason nothing is running due to Union station operations?

 

[ShonTron]

It seems odd that this is being blamed on CN, when GO does much of its own dispatching these days at a location in Oakville, including most of the Lakeshore Line (only west of Burlington is it owned by CN.)

If it was related solely to issues with the UCRS they would at least be running service to on the outskirts of the system i.e. Oshawa to Guildwood or Aldershot to Port Credit.

Indeed. I do believe this is a GO Transit issue. If it was a CN issue then why are VIA trains still running out of Union.

VIA has used some interesting wording saying it is "a CN system failure affecting Metrolinx" and that their trains are only "delayed" in and out of Union Station

I am told that the specific equipment that has failed is CN owned but dedicated to GO use.

GO is transitioning to its own dedicated equipment, but that is a long term transition.

Someone on Reddit pointed out that Cn's website (CN.CA) is down.
That doesn't bode well for the scale of this issue.

Some have mentioned it could be a ransomware attack, some quote Occam's razor (simplest reason is the most likely) and point at a failed software upgrade etc. To this I say then why would they have attempted it leading into the evening rush hour?

Yeah it could also be offline from a crash because 50,000 people suddenly tried to access it, up from the normal 50 people per day.
