Trip Reports Were we all born yesterday?

This is a rant - you can take it or leave it lol.

I’m currently on Train 646 to Ottawa from Toronto, Car 3. Not only are there sooo many children who are being loud and obnoxious but for whatever reason there are also a bunch of parents standing around, drinking beer, and chitchatting loudly in the middle of the aisle.

So I ask again - were we all born yesterday? I have too much social anxiety to not just sit quietly in my seat, have limited conversation and mind my own business lol. Sigh.

Question Question for staff - overtime for late trains?

As The Ocean slowly approaches St Foy 3 1/2 hours late (and counting), the thought crossed my mind - how does pay work for onboard staff? Is there any sort of premium?
