Posted by Xtrazsteve,

Enough of this madness. Next time be very clear in your post. Mention if you saw it in person or saw it tracking on Transsee or whatever you used. This way the reader can do the judging instead of you assuming. Then you won't get the backlash for cooking stuff up if it turns out to be false.

Due to the fatality south of Stouffville GO:

Shuttle from Lincolnville to Mount Joy: 2135, 2139

Shuttle from Stouffville to Mount Joy: 2217, 2423, 2429

These shuttles were met by an L10 standby train, which filled in for three cancelled L12 trains. That L10 was fine until Unionville which had major crowding in every car, and luckily a second train picked up crowds Milliken and south (not without delaying my train for an additional 10 minutes).

Shuttles were also being run from Unionville (there were a good 7-9 buses waiting there) to Union and YRT buses helping shuttle passengers in Markham to Richmond Hill line stations.

Sounds like a deadhead from 95 to me. They usually deadhead from Kingston Rd using Ellesmere-Meadowvale-Sheppard while the UTSC branches use Military Trail-Morningside-Sheppard, although I have seen the occasional deadhead via Ellesmere-Markham Rd before.

100% a 95 deadheading back to Malvern after finishing at the Ellesmere loop (Kingston Rd)

I got to Kennedy Station around 9:15am this morning just as a Stouffville line GO Train pulled in. A number of people transferred from the GO Train to the subway. I don't often get to Kennedy Station in the morning at the same time as a Stouffville Line train does so I'm not too certain if the amount of people I saw transfer today was common or more than usual.

Um, might normally be around 1-2 dozen people transferring from the busiest trains. The number might have been higher today since that train was carrying a triple load going to Kennedy (since the alternate line, Richmond Hill, doesn't connect to the subway except at Union) so people from the 3 cancelled/delayed trains were stuffed onto that one train.

I had spotted two GO buses heading south on Jarvis yesterday morning before 9:00 signed "SPECIAL", one was 2456 and the other was I believe 2513. Were these part of the shuttle service using Mt. Pleasant/Jarvis to avoid the DVP during morning rush hour?

Today, I rode a TR (not H5) trainset 5701-5702-5703-5704-5705-5706, these numbers now being resurrected from H5 fleet numbers.

It's a sure sign that H5s aren't going to be lasting long now.

What time didja ride that train? I saw it OUT OF SERVICE deadheading SB to the Davisville Yard at 12:40PM.
