Via Rail says recent train cancellations along its Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal corridor were in response to "heightened operational pressure." A number of trains between Toronto and Ottawa, Ottawa and Montreal, and Montreal and Ottawa were cancelled "end-to-end" Monday due to what Via Rail's live tracker called "operational constraints." Pressed for details, the federal Crown corporation declined to be interviewed but said via email that the cancellations are a short-term measure meant to "protect service reliability" during what's expected to be a challenging time.

Operator East Midlands Railway states that more trains than usual are undergoing repairs, leading to fewer available services and reduced coach numbers for operating trains.

From Monday to Thursday, Central line trains won't be stopping at Queensway station after 10pm, urging passengers to use alternative routes.
