I suspect that what is really behind this is that GO wants to test out the idea of providing commuter service to and from Grimsby and St. Catharine's, so...
I am also wondering if GO has looked at the success of the Bike Train to Niagara Falls and thought they could scoop up some of the business. Thanks, Christian....
One problem with that though, GO transit WAS designed to carry people. It WAS NOT designed to carry bicycles and other forms of cargo, I mean strollers will be...
... GO _does_ allow bikes on board, though, doesn't it? Outside of rush hour, that is. As I recall, they introduced the service with some fanfare, almost a...

Richard... I have two questions for you: 1. When was the last time you rode a GO Train? (See below for info on bikes on GO trains) 2. Please justify your...
They do James but the point I was trying to make was that GO transit will not allow dozens of bikes aboard their trains taking up room which could be used for...
what I meant by that message christian was that GO will run trains infrequently, they will have kinks to work out and that this will end up sabotaging their...
Except that GO already does on a regular basis, which kind of flies in the face of your argument, doesn't it? You're also assuming that GO is going to be...
Ok, sorry I have been getting disjointed emails. Yahoo is having hiccups, some emails are being queued and coming out of sequence. Oh well. 4 isn't too bad. ...
... A policy TTC should adopt - i.e. travel opposite to peak. Say - bikes allowed at peak AM WB from Spadina, EB from Sherbourne, NB from Bloor and NB from...
As a regular user of the subway NB from Spadina and infrequently NB from Bloor, I can assure that this would not work. Most trains are standing room only...

I'm working on a simple guide to help out-of-towners use Niagara Transit. It's not complete, but here is some data I've collected. (CONFIRM BEFORE TRAVEL) ...
Wonder if they would have a different policy for foldable mini-bicycles. Collapsed they are smaller than a duffel bag. Cheers, m ... -- Sent from Gmail for...
Just noticed that detail about folding bicycles. I wonder if a folding bicycle counts towards the limit of 4 bicycles/car? Cheers, moaz ... -- Sent from Gmail...
no, I've taken my folding bike on GO Trains at rush hour no hassle. It's like a luggage bag w/ wheels. Also've taken it on the subway, streetcars, & buses at...
I'll admit that June to September the crowds are quite lighter. But I've been on many a train northbound from St. George and from Yonge at 7:30-8:00am and been...
Even if it is merely incidental, it certainly doesn't bode well for their credibility. For the record, Nippon Sharyo built the current FRA/APTA-compliant...
There's been some talk over at Steve Munro's blog that the problem might be ADA/ODA compliance rather than FRA, but that still doesn't explain what Metrolinx...
