Why should VIA keep focusing on the Corridor? It is well served.

What needs to happen is all services go to a daily service both ways. This will make scheduling with CN/CP, etc simplier as they know it is coming the same time every day.

The next thing they need is to start servicing places they don't, like Calgary and Regina to name a few.

The federal government needs to change thee TC laws to make passenger service have priority over freight. This would mean that all trains would have to take the siding and the passenger train just keeps on going. They would also need to make it law that the companies must allow passenger service on all their lines.

I know we are dreaming, but with the focus on climate change, and a minority government, this could be something that the majority of parties would support.
