Replay: Petition calls for investment to save passenger rail in Maritimes

On today’s show, the future of passenger rail service in the Maritimes and anywhere outside of the Windsor, Ontario to Quebec City corridor may be in jeopardy without federal government action, says Transport Action Atlantic’s Tim Hayman.

We revisit a conversation with Hayman explaining the concerns behind a petition calling on the federal government for immediate action to refurbish VIA Rail’s fleet, and to stop plans to privatize the most profitable parts of its operations.
