VIA trains operating normally today despite snowstorm in Montreal and the rest of Quebec

MONTREAL - Despite the snowstorm today in Montreal and the rest of Quebec, 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. For a complete listing of train departures, station and on-board services as well as fare plans, visit VIA’s Web site at www.viarail.ca.
