  • A ride on the GO train from Union Station in Toronto to Pickering GO in suburban Durham Region. I start in front of Union Station on Front Street and then head over to the GO Platforms where I tap my Presto card and hop onto the train.
    Recorded in 4K at 60 FPS with a DJI Pocket 2 on Wednesday, May 25, 2022.

    Hello, and thanks for your video. I just wanted to commented on your question as to why all cars aren't special needs accessible. If you notice the train Conductor places an access ramp between the raised platform and the car entry to allow special needs access. To have all cars with this access you would need door attendant, or Conductors at every door and the whole platform raised for access. To keep costs down, there is only one Conductor at the access car which is normally the 6th car in the train.

      Union station looked nice, but was expecting more from the other stops similar to the new "station/stops" on the Eglinton Cross town.

    The Lakehsore East line between Danforth and Guildwood is a godsend if you're traveling by bike; I've noticed the bike lane infrastructure from Main St eastward is pretty nonexistent, so the GO train is a great alternative.

    Nice video, interesting to see Toronto to Pickering other than via the 401.
    Only thing that was a bit disappointing were the structures at the stops, Metrolinx/GO could have designed those to reflect the surrounding neighborhood and its culture/history.
    You never said what the final cost was after you tap out of the station and I think I saw a WC sign in the car maybe next time a tour of one (how do they compare to airplane WC).
    And yes I think you should do more of these, not sure how far you want to go, but a day trip to Barrie or Niagara Falls. Also when the new Eglinton Crosstown is up and running that would be nice to see as well, I think that entire route will also be getting a dedicated bike lane...so win win two videos.

    I have been using this route for over 45 years. The costs are very high. The Pickering station has problems. Pot smokers, alcohol consumption, hide out for drug dealers and an echo chamber for modified vehicle tune goons.

    Didn't watch the entire video (so pardon me if you acknowledged this, and yeah I know the train was pretty empty), but the upper floor of GO trains are supposed to be quiet zones, you're supposed to be respectful to other riders and not be talking.

    • @JohnnyStrides
      @JohnnyStrides  2 роки тому

      The quiet zones are only between 6-10am and 3-7pm. Further "quiet conversations" are allowed as per the posted rules. I was talking quietly enough that I had to boost the audio on the train.
      Given that I was respectful of the posted rules, I'm not sure what your point is?
