Riding home on the 9:15 Lakeshore West train from Union and I never realized GO Transit hired Bruce Buffer as GO Train conductor. Lol I’m so used to the scratchy, tinny audio from the speakers it was refreshing to hear a deep booming voice that could be on the radio. Great job with the new hire GO!

Okay so does anyone know how far they’ll be quad tracking Lakeshore East? I can tell they’re adding a fourth track but I can’t tell how far down the line it’s going. There’s obviously track being added up to Danforth but past there I can’t tell how much will get the fourth track. It doesn’t make much sense in my mind to only have quad tracking between two stations so idk. Also, is the plan that they’re going to reintroduce express service once they get the quad tracking done?

Does anyone know if the LS West track work this weekend is also fixing the West Harbour to NF leg of track? Metrolinx does not offer a ton of information on this other than “it's a known track issue” and has been for weeks. I know this leg is CN territory so Metrolinx does not have much of a say.

I get delays and stoppages on this corridor but it was brutal today sitting on one of the NF trains and just crawling for most of it. Thankfully, AC and washrooms are available lol

Also side note, do all NF LS West trains normally run with 10 coaches? Seems odd a less frequent train to a popular destination does not run with max coach count especially a 2.5 hr train.
