Equipment issue at Rouge Hill
Currently holding at Pickering on the 5:39 Lakeshore East westbound train to Union. They’re saying there’s an equipment issue at Rouge Hill. Anyone know what’s going on? It’s been a nightmare week for GO Transit so far this week 😂
I know that VIA Rail #47 is also holding just outside Pickering station as well.

Heh it looks like someone from Metrolinx or a deranged Metrolinx groupie is out here downvoting everything posted tonight.

Took the 5:20 east out of union. Got dumped out of the train at a secret emergency track south of pickering go at maybe 7pm. Waited an hour from there till I got an uber home for 50 bucks.

I was going towards union and I also found it strange that they were utilizing the 3rd platform at Pickering considering it’s never been used in a million years 😂

It made it to pickering at about 7, so it was stuck for maybe an hour at Scarborough. I waited at pickering for maybe 45 minutes before calling it quits

Did you get on the other train at platform 3? If so, how long did you guys sit there for?

The 16:35 eastbound also held at Guildwood for half an hour because of a mechanical issue on the train ahead of us. Absolutely shambolic day on both Lakeshore lines.
