On 510 LSE. Heat is CRANKED on coach 2132. A+ @GetontheGO It's 18C outside - as in "PLUS"! Went to next #gotrain coach - also set to broil.

RT "@JenLynH: had the same problem on the 5:15 LSW. Had to go thru three to find a more comfortable temp #gotrain" @GetontheGOUnacceptable!
CJ Smith @ThisCrazyTrain
@JenLynH If someone faints on this damn train and it results in a medical emergency ... Then what? Don't the CSAs get weather reports!?
GO Transit @GetontheGOCJ Smith @ThisCrazyTrain
Hi @ThisCrazyTrain. Please speak with the CSA in the accessible coach about the temperature in your coach.

@GetontheGO It's impossible to get to CSA with crowd of people blocking the stairwells b/c of ajax door restrictions. Hence the @ mention TY

@ThisCrazyTrain @GetontheGO was asked for help re: Barrie line delay all they could suggest was to sign up for GO alerts.#NoHelpAtAll

@dsmerek @GetontheGO How is this possible that there is no way to communicate with engs/csas with all this technology!? Rethink CSR comm!

@HULKGORIDER Thanks Hulk but I'm sure there are more diplomatic ways to deal. I think I see smoke signals coming from 20 Bay Street in T.O.

All this time I was certain you worked for GO Transit.
Guess I was wrong.
You've never been right.
Sucks to realize I've been telling the truth all along, don't it?
I wonder if anyone actually approached the CSA instead of just passive-aggressively tweeting? :P
The 4:10 LSE was an oven as well yesterday.
Ditto for the 5:15 to Brampton! I wasn't going to leave my seat either with or without my belongings for fear of them being a) stolen or b) my seat stolen.
It's five coaches from the front of the train to the CSA coach.
I got as far as the 4th coach and was met with a WALL OF PEOPLE (the Ajax people).
I gave up my seat for this shit.
I considered getting off the train at Pickering and then running to the CSA coach but why the fuck should I do that?
There have been times, in complete desperation, where I have opened the door in the first coach - the one leading to the engine, and propped it open with a bag/backpack. It does work, especially when the a/c has crapped out.
The problem is the CSA's don't have any control over shutting off or turning on the heat (a/c) on each individual car on a train, this is all done by maintenance personnel at Willowbrook after each cycle.
@CNConductor:
The heating/AC shouldn't be turned on or off at Willowbrook!
Train carriages should have a thermostat, which turns the heating/AC on or off as needed.
Almost makes me glad I'm home sick this week. Had I been on the train/oven, I might have passed out.
Then I'd be popular for delaying the train due to a medical emergency. ;o)
@CNConducter, I was on the much-delayed Barrie train last week (two hours), and the CSA actually announced that she would be making her way through the train to turn off the heat in each coach
I was on a GO bus this afternoon with no heat or A/C, even with a light jacket it was getting quite warm inside with all that bright sun shining through the windows.
Luckily on the bus home the driver had the air going, much comfier ride.
I contacted GO, and they said the temp is set for 22C.
Personally, when it's 22C outside I wear no jacket or sweater - which explains why the carriages seems so hot in winter when I'm bundled up!
22C??? That's ridiculous!!!
22 is way to high. I don't even keep my house that warm in the winter.
And I always strip out of my coat when I get on the train and yesterday it was quite warm in my coach.
