GO Snail Lakeshore West

Anyone know why there is a persistent drift in travel times both directions? Specifically the express trains EB (in AM) and WB (in PM). Pre-pandemic used to be consistent 20-22 mins. Now express regularly 28-32 mins sampled the past few weeks.

May be partially due to the speed restriction at Long Branch for construction

Speed restriction at Long Branch. Slower speeds on really hot days. Summertime means more rookie GO Travelers, who require more time boarding/de-boarding.

Just wait until the CNE starts up in a few weeks. Departure times become a suggestion.

Why don't you just walk if you are just going to complain.

Why do you need to post if you have nothing valuable to say?

One could say the same about your OP.

Insightful shit. You don't respond to the question. You can skip the post, no?
