Balanced News: Via Rail issues apology to passengers; advocate says service disruption was out of their hands

Via Rail is apologizing for what it’s calling a “let down” from the transportation service that left passengers in Eastern Canada stranded throughout Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. Maritime passengers first heard of issues on Christmas Eve when service between Montreal and Halifax was delayed leaving the station. “I think it’s fair to say that they’re apologizing for a lot of things that are out of their control,” said Hayman.
