    I'm amazed that this is all done in about 6 hours. Go Transit is just like the Long Island Railroad in my hometown, NYC.

    Do you ever do public tours or open houses of these facilities? Maybe as part of the Doors Open programme?

      Unfortunately it is a working yard and is far to dangerous to have the public walking around.

    Is the consist number the same as the fleet number? Like for example at 1:55 you can see the fleet number 2819 is that also the consist number?

    • @tjjames3447

      no sir, the consist number is the train as a whole and the 2819 is the individual coach number

    • @tjjames3447
      @tjjames3447 Год назад

      every coach will have a 4 digit number on it, currently a consist will have 12 coaches and all will have different 4 digit numbers.

    Maintenance has never been an issue. Communication has for years. I quit using GO Transit in 2012, it wasn't worth the hassle anymore. Yeah, I know, stuff happens that's beyond the control of the folks who run GO, but it doesn't or shouldn't take 4 hours to get word to the riders who are stuck on a train, or waiting for a train... Nothing like finding out what went wrong on the nightly news as you're dozing off in bed, after a screwed-up day. But hey, hike those fares up again this year and tell us the same old thing - it's going to help GO Transit run on time !
