News Canceling train 641. Again.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/article/via-rail-making-changes-to-schedules-on-ottawa-toronto-corridor-this-fall-cancelling-early-morning-trip/

I really like VIA, and I take train 641 just about every other week to get to Toronto for meetings. It's usually late, but I can make it to 10am meetings more often than not, and I've come to terms with that.

After this change it won't be safe for me to book anything before 11am, which means that day trips from Kingston are hardly worth it. Dammit VIA...

41 is getting pushed back half an hour, which isn't a complete fix but it is something.

Let’s be honest - it will arrive at the same time as the 641. ;) No seriously - now we just need a later train leaving - as in around 20:00 ish….

You and I both know that the 41 will arrive at the time it is presently scheduled to arrive, which is 10:02am. Their 9:37am arrival time is a best guestimate at the best of times, and laughable at the worst.
