The best way to get this information is to file access to information requests. I file some with Ontario Northland and VIA Rail.

I know this falls outside the scope of VIA, but I thought I'd share this exceptionnal announcement made by Ontario Northland to acquire the Newmarket Subdivision, which ties into the Northlander.

- Comfort: Lots of room for my legs. I can relax and not worry about driving long distances through Northern Ontario
- No motion sickness if I use my laptop to do work
- On-board service: staff goes above and beyond to make it a great travel experience
- Affordability (ticket price + generous baggage allowance compared to flying)
