If there's one thing that Metrolinx is good for, it's laying on the marketing wank thick.

Here's a great Metrolunx video on how to get to Budweiser Stage. Oddly, they avoid showing what it's really like when there's 16,000 people all leaving at the same time when a concert ends and they're all funneled onto that one narrow footbridge.

Edit: I've been told that people can also use the pedestrian crossing at New Brunswick Way, though I would guess not during the Indy race weekend, and maybe not during the CNE?

ML calls UPX "high-speed"...

I always laugh when I'm on a GO platform and the French announcement saying high speed trains can pass at any time comes on, as if a TGV train is going to go by.

I don’t think the terminology matters very much for safety announcements… a train going 30km/h or 320km/h will do the same damage to someone if they aren’t paying attention.

actually its different... getting run over at 30km/h is going to be a slow agony while it will be painless and instant at 300km/h

yup sad and hilarious that we have such low standards in this realm. most of us have never seen a train go past 160km/h

Yeah but the end result is the same, and can be prevented if someone steps back from the edge of the platform.

Trust me, the public does not care what the official designation of a high speed train is, standing next to a 140km/h vehicle is gonna seem pretty high speed to anyone
