The travel options will continue to be economy coaches, with limited seating, and sleeper cabins. However, VIA Rail is also fully aware of the current surge in Covid-19 cases, and would of course revise its plans and service offerings in line with the latest developments in the event of major changes related to the pandemic. Rigorous health and safety protocols, including physical distancing measures, enhanced air ventilation system, and limiting the range of on board services have made it possible for VIA Rail to resume the service. The Canadian train will resume service across its entire route from Vancouver to Toronto on May 17th 2021 and Toronto to Vancouver starting on May 23rd, operating once weekly in each direction, to provide much-needed public transport for essential journeys between communities along the line.
