GO trains? maybe they should be renamed...

me and GO transit - not on such good terms right now. i was scheduled to depart union station at 8:43pm, arriving at oakville station at 9:20pm. i get to union at 8:30, with enough time to spare only to find out that the the train is on standby, and may we 'please wait for more info'. so i wait. the train is delayed by five minutes. okay, i think, not that bad - no need to write home about it, a five minute delay is no harm. i board the train and sets off, oakville bound. we stop at mimico, let passengers off, then are told, "all passengers will be asked to leave the train and board another train as this one is experiencing mechanical difficulties." we stop in this random railyard between mimico and long branch where we pull up alongside another empty GO train, and we hop off of our defunct train onto this fully functioning train. after a few minutes, we slowly start moving again, oakville-ho! before i could say 'i'm going home!' the train jerks to a stop. we start travelling backwards. the conductor comes through the speakers, "i am sorry for the inconvenience folks, it appears we have left behind some passengers on the other train. we are on our way back to collect them and will be on our way shortly." yeah, freakin, right. how do you manage to miss the fact that your train has stopped in the middle of nowhere, and people all around you are leaving?? so we pick up these stragglers, and take off again. and guess what - two minutes into the ride we jerk to a halt once again. this feeling is becoming all too familiar - the sinking feeling in my stomach that accompanies the realization of how late i will get home. and how late my mom has to wait out to pick me up. the conductor comes back over the speakers "passengers, a fight has broken out on the train, we have remanded the participants and are awaiting the arrival of the police. we will not be leaving until the police arrive." ...is this for real?? seriously. talk about a night going from bad to worse. especially after a long day at work. we waited, still in this railyard for approximately twenty minutes before the police arrived, did their thing, and finally let us get underway. so we pull out, again, the ruffians in police custody, we make our way toward oakville. first we stop at long branch, the next scheduled stop. we let passengers off the train and then are told that all passengers must depart the train and board the oakville bound train arriving on track 2. the train we are currently on must be on its way eastbound back to union station. by this time we are one hour behind schedule. again, i board another GO train, and pray that this one will take me to oakville without fail - lo and behold it did. i walked in the door of my house at 10:43pm, exactly two hours after my train was scheduled to depart union station. i could go on - especially about the people who ride the GO train on the weekend, just a small note to those of you out there: the GO train is not playground, we do not play soccer on the train, we do not run up and down the stairs and aisles, we do not talk loudly and yell, it is not a road or sidewalk for you to pick fights on, it is a mode of transportation to get you from one place to another, so please, please, please, next time you are on the GO train, be considerate of those who are just trying to make their way home.
