    The tracks will be out of commission. It's not that the trains are running past the stop but not stopping, it's that no trains are running on that stretch of track at all over the weekends.

    I suppose GO could consider running something from Exhibition to Union only... Depends on which bridges are actually out of service / being reconstructed.

    I believe the plan includes an exhibition to union shuttle. The bridge replacements are all west of Exhibition and east of Long Branch.

    The Lakeshore West trains will be using the old Canpa sub, heading north up to the Junction and then coming downtown via the Weston sub.

    An explainer

    Special train service will operate between Union Station and Exhibition GO while our Lakeshore West trains detour around the bridge work.
    • If you’re travelling to Exhibition from the east:
      • Stay on the Lakeshore East train, as it will continue on to Exhibition after passing Union Station.

    • If you’re travelling to Exhibition from the west:
      • Continue on the Lakeshore West train to Union Station, then board the Lakeshore East train, which will continue on to Exhibition.

    • If you are travelling eastbound from Exhibition:
      • Take the train from Exhibition GO, and it will continue past Union Station along the Lakeshore East line.

    • If you are travelling westbound from Exhibition:
      • Take the eastbound train at Exhibition to Union Station. At Union Station, transfer to the Lakeshore West train.

    i.e. Trains from Lakeshore East will continue past Union to Exhibition stadium then go back to Union & out along Lakeshore East. If your coming from the West, go to Union then catch a Lakeshore East.

    Delgado has been called up to the USMNT.

    edit: Liam Fraser called up to Canada, replacing Jay Chapman (injured apparently).

    So after the game everyone who is taking the go train will all be on the east platform.
    That could result in a little overcrowding,will it not?

    I am actually planning on driving down to the remaining games as I think that will be less of a gong show than the GO

    No wonder people think our league is a joke. What an embarrassing name.

    Not that I care what other people think, mind you.... but I get it.

    The MMXX handle is a bad idea. They don’t play in Liga MX.

    The Internacional is a team in Brazil - which is a bit weird given Miami is a hub of Latino culture.

    It simply means international. Seeing as Miami is and is seen as very international it makes sense for the Hispanic connection. I don't think they were really focusing on the team in Brazil.

    I took 4 years of Latin in high school, I know.

    I'm confused. Are we still going by soccer, Fútbol, Football or what?

    So many teams with FC in the name its time to call it MLF. Major League Football.

    Since you know every team is shunning the word soccer nowadays and trying to look all cool being non North American.

    Embrace the word Soccer or remove it.

    But this fails to capture the fact both Canada and the US are in the league. And it is more than a national national sport, it’s an international one (unlike the NFL).

    Major International League Football. That should do it.

    And since it's an international league (US & Canada), we should have that in there as well. Major International League Football.

    EDIT FFS Really ag, was that necessary? I was just too damn slow. Sick minds think alike.

    Oh my God people think our league is a joke , I keep hearing this about this league being a joke , but you know what I can also list a whole lot of things that make the NHL a joke or the NFL or MLB or the NBA or the EPL , if you really get picky every league in every sport has things that can make people see it as a joke , the MLS does not hold exclusive rights to being a league that’s considered a joke!

    The colours remind me of Palermo and they could have very distinct kits. Look forward to seeing more.

    It appears there's already a proposed league to be called "Major League Football"

    Oops struck a nerve. My post wasnt that serious.

    Well like i said, I dont care what people think of our league. Nobody should.

    But the name is ridiculous. Add them to the pile. Real Salt Lake, Sporting Kansas City.. Etc.

    And dont call it The MLS. Cmon lol.

    overpriced, I'll give you that, can't say I'd agree with anything else you say, personally for me I love the place. The beach, the nightlife, place is hopping with beautiful women. Bad service should be the least of your concerns.
