Return trip on #ViaRail from Montreal to Toronto and we are on an old train again. I wasn’t surprised, as this morning I took the REM to Brossard and counted 8 parked new trains in the yard — 25% of the new fleet. And that’s just the ones here not in use, never mind Ottawa’s or Toronto’s storage […]

While the chart is cute, it doesn't actually reflect the reality of future budgeting.

#CanadaPost & #ViaRail - are Crown Corporations that were designed to be self-funding. The "cuts" are lower SUBSIDIES !!

#DFO cuts reflect a change in priorities to focusing only on key responsibilities

Well that’s a new one: approaching Cornwall our #ViaRail train has to wait for not a freight train, but another VIA train, to depart the station before we can arrive.

On the plus side, these ancient cars and locomotive will much more likely get me to Montreal. From my reading it seem that the #ViaRail #Siemens new fleet has a much lower success rate at “go places.”

Disappointed to find my #ViaRail corridor train using ancient equipment from 1981, despite the new trains all being delivered long ago. I should have done my research - the #Siemens Ventures are having nonstop problems, and a third of the fleet or more is out of service […]

Canada’s auditor-general says VIA Rail needs to improve its service. Trains were on-time 30% of the time during the first quarter of 2025.
