Not much point trying that on a holiday weekend here, even if the TTC Station wasn't the center of the investigation. Can you imagine the queue to board the Express line with only one train in service?!?

Not that SGs wouldn't stand there for four hours, but still, imagine the mounds of trash they'd generate!

God help the CMs who will encounter SGs over this. I could let pretty much bear anything when encountering SGs and keep my cool. This would not be one of them.

Such sad news this morning. :(
My heartfelt condolences not only to the CM's family, but thoughts and prayers to all of the CMs as they cope and carry on.

My mom and I are in tears right now. I hope they release the name of the CM involved. We were in Disney the last 2 weeks - just got home last night - and got to know several monorail CM's on a first-name basis. I am so sad and sick to my stomach. My thoughts and prayers to all involved.

While I am obviously not an active poster here, and usually only lurk, I must tell you all how deeply saddened I am to hear the news this morning. My thoughts and prayers are with the fallen CM, his family, and all of his friends and fellow CM's. :(
