Ready to play GO train Roulette?

I'm betting it all on 7:06/Pickering. All on red, baby.

GO has decided that for those of you who like to gamble, and want to avoid this:


... you can use this handy chart to determine seat availability on their trains.

For those of us on Lakeshore East, there's no point on betting on the 6:47 am or 7:53 am trains out of Oshawa. Not if you're getting on at Pickering.

Lately, due to a bus driver who can't drive more than 50 km/hr when being chatted up by chatty Cathies on my bus (I can feel a rage coming on. I really want to toss these two ladies off the bus) I've been forced to connect with a later train out of Oshawa and miss the 7:15 am train.

According to an email I got from GO Transit tonight, my bus is being rolled back four minutes earlier come June 29th. My bus is set up to connect with the 7:28 am Oshawa train. That's fine. But most days, my bus driver can get us there for 7:10 am, which makes 40 people fucking ecstatic. But these two women don't ride to the station. They get off before. They don't start til 8 am at their local jobs. These honey badgers don't care about us.

See, told you I would rage.

Lakeshore East looks like paradise compared to the Kitchener line.

I'm on the 5:53 out of Whitby in the mornings. Seats and most of the time, quiet.

Today, there was a guy who was sleeping across the three seats just inside the doors. His picture has been posted here before so I didn't bother to take one. He sets his phone to wake him up as we approach Union. It's a rooster cockadoodle-dooing....

That chart is a joke. For both my usual trains on LSW, apparently there are "many" seats. I'd like them to get on the train and then tell me there are "many" seats.

It's nice to know that there were seats available on the 6.31 and 7.01 from Langstaff LAST FALL...
