@unfollowed_the @samjmintz @RAILMag I live in Canada. We have Via Rail and yet an actual round trip ticket between Montreal and Toronto (most popular route in Canada) comes out to almost just as much whether you take the train or fly. The problem is that they are all colluding with each other

@VIA_Rail The use of Mont Royal Tunnel by VIA was neat. It put one of the old 1920s electric locos to pull the train up from Central station to Canora, uncoupled.
On way in, train picked up speed and ran on momentum down from Canora to Central station with diesel engine turned off.

@mindingottawa @VIA_Rail @MarcGarneau @Transport_gc @Garneau_Cynthia You close them down and almost nobody would notice. While most of the world has transitioned to high speed, low cost, frequent service; Via Rail is dated, slow and costly. Reset required.

@rail613 @AlexanderGlista @Chris_Livett @VIA_Rail @HSRCanada @RapidoTrains A bigger issue than max speed is now much time the train has to spend at slower speeds or even stopped. Acceleration and de-acceleration rate also matter on a train making a number of stops.
