I was given to understand that, previously, my choices were: crack of stupid or get in a little after 9 on the train, or take Greyhound.
Well... (quoting for new page)

RE: GO Transit - Viewfromthe42 - 08-22-2016
Where are they parking the additional two trains which need to sit here overnight?
RE: GO Transit - Markster - 08-22-2016
My guess would be that they've got the sidings at the Shirley Ave Layover Facility up and running.
RE: GO Transit - tvot - 08-22-2016
I went in to Toronto a couple weeks ago on Go and that schedule looks a lot nicer, just by having that extra train right before 7. Aim for the 6:47am and if you miss you can catch the 7:10.
What would be even better is a 7:30am train that gets to Toronto before 9:30
RE: GO Transit - Canard - 08-22-2016
Whoahwhoahwhoah, what!? So the 2 new trains are already online?! How did this slip through with zero media coverage or anything?!

Effective September 3, per the PDF linked at the start of this chain.

Looks like the new Shirley Ave layover facility is a lot further along than I realized. Surprised there hasn't been any photos posted.

RE: GO Transit - notmyfriends - 08-25-2016
Interesting first post...
RE: GO Transit - Archetype - 08-25-2016
Well I always like to make an entrance
Very, very, very long time lurker... this was just too hilarious not to post on.
RE: GO Transit - Canard - 08-25-2016
Well now we need the details!
RE: GO Transit - DHLawrence - 08-25-2016
Has anyone else noticed their ears popping while riding in the top deck of the double-deckers on the 25, especially on the highway? I don't think the window seals are put in quite right.
RE: GO Transit - danbrotherston - 08-25-2016
I believe problem seals would cause noise and water leakage before it caused ear popping. Vehicles are not generally air tight and cannot hold interior pressure.

Wow, it could also be a case of its *too* tightly sealed. I know on the Shinkansen my ears were going crazy every time we went into and popped out of a tunnel, and those trains are almost as sealed as an airplane.
My smart car is so airtight that I have to slam the doors really hard to close them - but if either window is cracked even a centimetre, they just fall closed without any effort at all.
It's remarkable how airtight these types of things really are.

Is it by the Glen Eden/Lake Kelso area? that happens in cars too, windows open or closed
