Canada's 2024 Federal budget includes funding to replace VIA Rail's severely-aging long distance fleet! A huge win for Canadian coast-to-coast rail! See page 256 of the budget: budget.canada.ca/2024/home-accu…
@AlexanderGlista Thank goodness! Need every bit of good news we can get. 😓
@AlexanderGlista Don't travel, don't care.
@AlexanderGlista Great idea...let's not tell the suppliers how much we are willing to pay! This is smart negotiating...unlike a lot of transit planning and design in this country...
@AlexanderGlista How much? Piggyback on Amtrak bi-level Superliner replacement RFQ hopefully?
@AlexanderGlista Aging is an understatement. Much of the western rolling stock is antiquated.
@AlexanderGlista Highly probable that a @CPC_HQ would cancel this asap, unfortunately.
@AlexanderGlista Perhaps now you won’t have to sleep on top of a toilet!
@AlexanderGlista I've taken train Ottawa Toronto multiple times. Cars were not the problem, delays along the line were always an issue. Fix that.
