Or maybe we have all been focused on being right instead of seeing meaningful discussion. I am not digging through here, but when someone points to a fact that I did not know, or that I got wrong, I acknowledge it and then work with the new fact.

- The slowest scheduled VIA train (VIA 51) covers the 633 km between Montreal and Toronto (via Ottawa!) in 6:32 hours (dep. MTRL 06:20, arr. TRTO 12:52)
- Anything slower than that is a connection between a MTRL-OTTW and an OTTW-TRTO service, for instance of trains 635 (dep. MTRL 14:10, arr. OTTW 16:14) and 59 (dep. OTTW 18:26, arr. 23:07) with a combined travel time of 6:45 (2:04+4:41) hours, which only adds up to 8:57 hours if you include the connection time of 2:12 hours in OTTW while waiting to board train 59. However, connections like these have zero relevance for passenger travelling between Montreal and Toronto, as train 69 departs Montreal at 16:25 (i.e. 2:15 hours later than train 635) and arrives Toronto at 21:15 (i.e. 1:52 hours earlier than train 59).

I have been trying to use their trip planner and the PDFs. I am still trying to figure out what day 1,2,3, etc is. It is a learning process.
This is not my area of expertise, but that does not mean I cannot learn and create a good report from quality research.

That actually was a mistake. I thought there was no space. People spell my first name wrong all the time, even when I spell it out for them. Whether you want to help or not, it's up to you. You seem to have a lot of information. My concern is whether your employer has some sort of rule, like a nondisclosure, or conflict of interest. In the military, I had rules that governed what I could and could not do outside of the military. Even now, I still have some restrictions.
If you were to join us, I would ask one thing - leave your bias at the door. We want the facts to speak on their own, but in an organized fashion. So, arguments on what will or will not work must be clearly shown in the facts.
