VIA Rail to implement new early morning train from Ottawa to Toronto
Via Rail will be introducing a new, early morning schedule from Ottawa to Toronto this month.
Starting on May 27, the train, called train “641” early morning frequency, will leave Ottawa around 4:19 a.m. and arrive in Toronto around 8:48 a.m. to allow for people to arrive in Toronto earlier than their pre-existing schedule.
Mario Peloquin, president and CEO of VIA Rail, said in a statement, “In recent months, stakeholders and frequent passengers from Eastern Ontario have emphasized the significance of early-morning VIA Rail services for their communities, and we took great care to listen and act on this feedback. This is why we are looking forward to offering this option for passengers who wish to travel to Toronto before 9 a.m., whether for business or leisure.”
