Toronto GO Train transfers from Lakeshore East to Lakeshore West trains not working

[nfitz]

Google Transit doesn't seem to accept transfers between the Lakeshore
West and
Lakeshore East GO trains at Union Station. Presumably because there
isn't
enough connection time. (GO recently removed the scheduled dwell time
at Union from 6 minutes to 3 minutes).

However in reality, the two trains are normally the same train, and
when they
aren't, the second train waits for the first train at Union Station.

At the moment, it's making using Google Transit all but meaningless
for any
journeys where one travels through Union Station on this Line.


Here's an example for travel from Pickering to Oshawa:
http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Thornton+Rd+S&daddr=43.455388,-79.684814&geocode=FXBunQIdWlFM-w%3B&hl=en&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=17&dirflg=r&ttype=dep&date=10%2F10%2F16&time=16:00&noexp=0&noal=0&sort=&sll=43.454928,-79.680855&sspn=0.004572,0.010922&ie=UTF8&z=17&start=0

The train description is:

Train - Lakeshore East Train Service - Direction: Union Station
Service run by GO Transit
4:41pm Depart Oshawa GO Station
59 mins (9 stops)
5:40pm Arrive Union Station

Train - Lakeshore West Train Service - Direction: Aldershot GO
Station
1 hour 3 mins to make transfer
6:43pm Depart Union Station
39 mins (6 stops)
7:22pm Arrive Oakville GO Station take exit Oakville GO Station-Cross
Ave

As you can see, you have to wait 63 minutes at Union Station to change
from the Lakeshore East to Lakeshore West train. But in reality the
Lakeshore East train that arrives at 5:40pm at Union departs at 5:43pm
for Oakville as a Lakeshore West train.

I have this exact same problem. In addition, it instead continually tries to tell me to take a VIA train instead of the GO train, for a single stop. VIA does not even issue fares for such short trips.
