VIA trains operating normally despite storms in Ontario and Quebec

MONTREAL - Despite the major storm beginning in Ontario today and moving into Quebec tomorrow, all of VIA Rail Canada’s trains are operating normally throughout the region. VIA operates some 60 trains per day throughout the Windsor-Quebec City Corridor.

As weather conditions worsen, many VIA trains are beginning to get closer to a sold out situation. VIA will add cars to accommodate the demand but urges customers to call ahead to be certain of available space. To book, customers can call 1-888-VIA Rail, (842-7245), TTY 1-800-268-9503 (hearing impaired). Tickets are also available at kiosks in major Corridor stations, online at www.viarail.ca, or through travel agents.

VIA offers a stress-free, safe and comfortable winter travel alternative.
