VIA Rail is reaching out directly to passengers with reservations to update them on the latest developments. All other passengers are encouraged to visit our website for more information. We continue to work with the infrastructure owner, CN Rail, on making sure that normal service can resume on all other routes and that passengers can be welcomed back on board our trains as quickly as possible. Even though we look forward to sharing updates on resumption dates of our services in a timely manner, the safety of our passengers and employees remains our top priority throughout this process. Please find below a summary of routes in service, including as of Friday: Overview of service resumptions* Route Service Toronto- London-Windsor In full service Toronto-Sarnia In full service Toronto-Niagara Falls In full service Québec City-Montréal-Ottawa In full service The Ocean (Montréal-Halifax) Full service to resume starting Friday, February 28 Winnipeg-The Pas Full service to resume starting Sunday, March 1 *This information is subject to change without notice.

Date: 02/28/20 06:18 Re: Thursday, February 27 VIA Rail update Author: DrawingroomA Although that is a recent update it contains a major error. According to Reservia, service on the Toronto - Montreal/Ottawa corridor will resume on Tuesday the 3rd of March. That was changed from Monday the 2nd on Reservia two days ago and I am surprised the advisory wasn't updated.
