A planned high-speed rail project between Toronto and Quebec City could dramatically increase the number of trains that travel along the corridor each day, according to internal documents.
Not the prairies though. Last year I took a VIA Rail train 6 hours west of Winnipeg. I had to wait 6 days until an eastbound train could take me back home. They used to run daily.
It was over the July long weekend and I bought the return ticket at the same time as the destination ticket. I guess it wasn’t normal over the long weekend, but still. I couldn’t even take a Greyhound bus home, as they no longer exist. The world is winding down.

Unless there was a breakdown that cancelled a train, that seems odd.
Normally there are 3 eastbound and 3 westbound scheduled per week between Vancouver and Toronto.
Still far from ideal, but not 6 days between trains.
