GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

From Michael Lindsay on LinkedIn, since I didn't see anything posted on here. Seems to confirm the driver was on the southern access road, plowed through the fence and onto the tracks.

Afternoon Ontario.

On New Year’s Eve at 10:12pm, via the access road next to Etobicoke North station, a car was driven over the curb, through a chain link fence, and onto the rail lines. The car became stuck and was then impacted by UPX Train 4335.

Fortunately, no injuries were sustained by the train operator or passengers, all of whom were safely evacuated. The occupants of the vehicle also did not suffer any life-threatening injuries.

The incident impacted the schedule and travel times for 26 train trips that night, and we are particularly grateful to the more than 1000 customers whose journeys were immediately delayed by more than an hour for their patience and understanding.

With the significant growth in the volume of passenger trains that Metrolinx is putting on the regional network - it has never been more important for drivers to heed all road signs and warnings and treat all barriers to the rail corridor with serious respect.

It is always important, whether near railway tracks or not, to make sure that you are in an appropriate condition to safely operate your vehicle.

What in the name of hell is happening with GO buses lately?

There were no less than 3 no shows to/from Milton this week, one 22 that then continued back east as a 21 that never left Oakville and the replacement bus didn't join the line until around Meadowvale on the 21, and another this morning that never left Milton and according to TransSee was once again filled in somewhere in Mississauga. In none of these circumstances was any alert or explanation offered on the GO website; today, there's a bunch of canned warnings on the GO site for various route, not limited by any means to just the Milton ones, that due to "operational adjustments" [sic], some GO bus trips may be cancelled.

A lot of people give the TTC flack, and rightfully so, but since they run such an abundance of service, it's very rare to be as badly screwed over as GO riders can be. Typical Metrolinx logic, run such a threadbare and vulnerable network that vehicles MUST run 100% of the time in order for the service to be usable, and then cancel buses left, right, and centre, turning 1- and 2- hour headways into 2- and 4-hour headways. But make sure you pay your criminally extortionate fare.

And to think that folk on here want them to take over the LRT lines from the TTC. The Lord preserve us.

They could be short on crews.
 
Great. I'm so glad that Canadian Pacific are able to deliver freight without any pesky passenger trains getting in their way.

There is no acceptable transit where there are GO buses.

Supposedly the derailment was a KI train en-route to Bramalea. It derailed near one of the UP Express stations. The info I have isn't clear on which station it is, just that it was near a UP Express station.

Given the delay is at Union. I would like to believe this was in the USRC.

That said.. if there is a derailment due to signal issues at Union, today will be fun not only for GO transit but VIA and UPExpress.
 
CSA announced (and shows on Transsee) trains are now trickling through Union Station. Trains are holding at earlier stations until they get their turn. My train is currently going to be held up at Long Branch Edit: Now Mimico. Edit: Made it to Union
