VIA Rail Expands Service Between Ottawa, Toronto and London

VIA Rail Canada Inc. (VIA Rail) has reintroduced two round trips between Toronto and Ottawa and a daily round trip between London and Toronto, starting this OCT.

"The ongoing progressive introduction of VIA Rail's 32 new trainsets is already yielding positive results, as recent increases in equipment availability, coupled with intense recruitment and training efforts, are now allowing us to reintroduce these high-demand frequencies," said Mario Péloquin, President and CEO.

"As we continue to strike a balance between meeting our passengers' evolving travel needs and deploying our limited resources, we remain committed to offering the most convenient, accessible and sustainable service to the highest number of Canadians."
