Via Rail has halted a pilot initiative to provide direct service between Montreal and Toronto because of “operational constraints” with CN, the rail service says.
Via Rail was gearing up to launch a three-month nonstop service test on Sept. 29 on four trains travelling between the two cities. The purpose of the pilot project was to determine demand for expedited travel between Montreal and Toronto.
