Flood conditions in Northern British Columbia continue to disrupt VIA’s service between Prince George and Prince Rupert

VANCOUVER - VIA Rail Canada is advising passengers that due to the ongoing flood conditions and river levels in Northern British Columbia, the Skeena train service between Jasper and Prince Rupert remain affected in both directions.

VIA continues to operate the Skeena between Jasper and Prince George only. All service between Prince George and Prince Rupert, in both directions, has been cancelled.

This will remain in effect until further notice.

This includes the following upcoming departures:

June 9th, 11th, train#6, from Prince Rupert to Jasper, will originate in Prince George.
