Desjardins-Siciliano said Via plans to increase the service in Sarnia to four trains daily, starting in 2016, but he adding it's not a done deal since it's subject to the availability of track, something Via will have to work out with freight rail companies.Assuming of course that it will in fact be RDCs from stock, and not Metrolinx leasing them UPX C cars from their massively underpatronised airport service. The next question will then become - will we see RDCs show up anywhere else in the network?
"We're meeting with our freight partners to discuss those plans," Desjardins-Siciliano said.
He said the first run will be from Sarnia to Toronto, with adjustments intended to "shave a bit of time" off the current trip.
The additional trains will be a "commuter run" during the day between Sarnia and London using two-car self-propelled trains.
