VIA Rail Canada has issued a statement to apologize for train delays and cancellations from Dec. 23 to Dec. 26, 2022, caused by a severe winter storm and a train derailment that left some passengers stranded overnight on stalled trains.
“We didn’t meet your expectations and for that we apologize,” said Martin Landry, VIA’s interim president and CEO, in the Jan. 10 statement.
