@JoWalsh03748900 I sure did. There’s actually a very high amount of senior VIA rail employees who refuse to disclose vaccination status. That’s likely part of it. Are you coming down?

@mbonsma @VIA_Rail Yes!! I faced this issue last summer and was hoping it would be resolved for 2022 touring. I've been writing to them every few months. Seems like cost cutting under the guise of "safety measures"

Sure. 'Freedom Rally'. The writer, being a 'journalist' - as opposed to being educated - wouldn't know it, but there was another freedom rally, via rail, in 1935. The federal police were waiting in Regina, and took them down - hard. Maybe Greenies now? https://t.co/tTYquAnxo2

@k98_esteban @VIA_Rail If that's the case VIA needs to update its announcements and digital signs at the Brampton Station to say track 1 instead of 2. The wrong track number also appears on the app ticket confirmation screen. I'd ***ume this could be an accessibility issue as well. cc @rubysahotalib https://t.co/aNjTN1DYWQ

@VIA_Rail Yes, we need more VIA: Regular frequencies ready for ridership to return, rather than cutting back already under-served routes. The Treasury Board (@MonaFortier) is probably breathing down your necks, but it's false economy if it takes ridership longer to recover post-Omicron.
