Montreal: VIA Rail Canada said it is “delighted” that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has renewed support for the corporation’s High Frequency Rail (HFR) project.
HFR would operate on a new rail line north of the current service corridor.
HFR would expand VIA Rail services to more communities between Québec City and Toronto including Peterborough, and Trois-Rivières, QC.
The modernization is well underway, said a Ministry of Transportation media release.
Since 2014, VIA Rail has seen 32% growth in ridership across Canada, and 34% growth within the Québec-Windsor corridor.
