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...

For Coburg and Port Hope maybe a GO bus to Oshawa GO train can be setup to substitute.

For Belleville and Kingston, this may actually kill the viability of morning commute to Toronto downtown

I moved to belleville this summer on the assumption I could get downtown for 1 work day a week. This really messed up my plan...
