One train delayed but not the other - odd situation?

I was at Burlington GO waiting for a train, the regular 9:35pm from West Harbour to Union was delayed by over 30min due to track work, but the 9:42pm that comes in from Niagara was on time.

Does this seem a bit strange? It would make sense if the opposite happened, or if both trains were delayed.

Accessing Devil's Punchbowl on foot?

Is there an easy/safe way to do this?

Ridge Road doesn't seem to have a sidewalk.

There's the Dofasco 2000 Trail but that runs to the east and intersects roads that don't have sidewalks (First Road, Second Road, etc.).

Is there a path across the train tracks at Trevor Drive/Mountain Ave S? Not entirely clear on Google Maps.

TIL Hamilton has No Hunting signs

Took a daytrip to Hamilton from Toronto. Wasn't expecting to stumble upon this sign in a city. I was lowkey afraid I might encounter someone with a rifle/bow/whatever.

Minimum balance required for a TTC + GO trip?

I took a trip with TTC then GO Train. The GO Train trip was short. It was supposed to be $3.70, which is the base fare.

So the question is - what is the minimum balance required for such a trip?

I assumed $3.70 would be it, but apparently not? I tapped on the TTC then shortly after I tried tapping on at a GO station but it said insufficient funds.

For such a trip I thought the TTC portion would be free so why did my Presto get declined?

Map with all VIA routes and stations?

Not sure if I'm just not seeing it but I'm looking for a detailed/zoomable map of all routes across Canada plus stations.

The issue with the VIA Tracker is I can't move around the map without it taking me back to where the train is after a few seconds.

(Also side note: throughout Toronto/GTA, the VIA Tracker shows GO Train stations that VIA does not stop at, for ex. Exhibition, Rouge Hill - and these stations are displayed the same as stations that VIA does stop at, which seems potentially confusing.)

Found an abandoned car near Etobicoke Creek

Don't remember the exact location but it's on the east side of Etobicoke Creek somewhere between the 401 and Rathburn Road, possibly south of Matheson. There are little dirt trails running through wooded areas.

This is very close to the city limits so it might actually be in Mississauga.

What is an unsupervised park?

Saw this sign along the Chechalk Trail. First time seeing a park being referred to as unsupervised.
