With the first major storm of the season expected to hit Ontario and Quebec within the next 24 hours, VIA Rail Canada expects demand for seats to quickly increase for its trains in the Windsor - Québec City corridor.

VIA operates some 60 trains per day throughout the Windsor-Québec City Corridor and will add cars where possible to meet the increased demand. Passengers are therefore advised to book as early as possible to ensure space is available.
