Waiting for the 5:10 pm were two GO constables, presumably to check fares. Maybe, but what I found interesting was that they stood near the doorway as the train filled and it looked like to me from their hand gestures and facial expressions (and some lip reading) that they were monitoring the door donkeys, asking the donkeys to let people board.
It was hard to take pictures of this with the 5:05pm train in the way but these two constables were doing a great job at keeping the doorway clear.Sadly, aren't we all adults here? Isn't it just common sense that while the train is boarding you wait on the platform if you don't plan on sitting, and then board prior to departure? This makes perfect sense to me.

I wil take the advice and try to board the train when it is departing.
I am more annoyed with the people that gather on the opposite side of the tracks for iunstance a trian coming in and showing boarding on track 12, many people will wait on track 11 and getin the doors after the people arriving depart.
Some days I hope for a track change or maybe they will make the arriving hoards depart on the same track they say it is departing from, but sadly this never happens. I would love to see the mad dash to the end of the platform, forcing them to come up to the other track as they would not be able to cross the tracks since the train is there.
Hoping they get screwed someday!!
I wound up on Platform 11 because I took the wrong elevator (sometimes I do this because I have terrible arthritic knees) and decided to stay there.
I did notice I was joined by quite a few people and I know this is a practice many people hate. I also noticed that the people with me barely gave the people exiting the train any room to get off - not cool.
I will also admit that when it's late at night, I have gone up to Platform 6 instead of 5 to catch the 10:13/11:13 (pick one) to avoid the crazy bar crowd/leaf fans/raptor fans to board before them and be seated before them.
I know ... I will burn in hell for this.
