VIA Rail Canada has issued a travel advisory due to a winter storm in the Maritimes expected to bring heavy snowfall and freezing rain to Quebec and Ontario over the next 36 hours.
VIA Rail Canada advises that all trains in the Windsor – Québec City corridor region and between Halifax and Montreal are operating normally, with minimal delays.
As the storm continues to make its presence felt, VIA expects demand for seats to escalate. VIA will add capacity where possible to meet the increased demand. Passengers are therefore advised to book as early as possible and to verify departure and arrival times of trains in the affected regions.
Travel Alert – Dec 28-29: Toronto, Montreal & Ottawa. Details, Flight Status & rebook online. Change fees waived: https://t.co/j6Q9rcq8zw.
