GO TRANSIT; Dumb and Dumber

What has happened to the great TOP GUNs??

He could not have been dispatching the Lakeshore East Corridor 5:03 train of July 20th. Not our Top Gun. No way !!

It was Dumb and Dumber directly traffic that day...

What a GO Transit mess up: GO Transit style.

I can accept that trains have engine troubles. Okay, so we head back to Union via a push....and then all of us 5:03'ers (Express train) get onto another 5:50 (Express to Pickering) train. Bad enough we are squished like sardines in a tin can, but what was that wait at the Scarborough station about??? We end up on the WRONG tracks and then have to back up to let an entire 2 passengers off from a combination of 2 Express trains that neither would have normally stopped at the Station?! What?? Duh??? Tsk Tsk.

Dumb and Dumber. This is the new GO 405 slang term for the GO 405 management/dispatchers. You need to have a scripted BACK UP plan in these events. Think on your feet, folks!!

Wow, B, and B. (and K.), I empathize with the stupid Stupids you have to report to!! Yikes, I thought my place of work needed help!!???

That is 2 major train delays in less than 5 working day.

I think I am going to take my car instead.

And I tried to catch that train, but had a coupleof things to finish up at work.

Caught the 5:33 instead. It pulled out of union 15 minutes late.

According to a regular rider, this is normal.

I agree with Lisa's comment, why is there no contingency plan. It seems screwing the customers is acceptable.

We should write an intelligent letter of complaint with our suggestions for improvement and get it signed by all of 405. Hey - We should have the letter ready so that next time people are all fired up, we can wave it in front of their hot little faces and they'll be more than happy to sign.

Organize, people, organize!!
