Hoping someone knows the answer to this question....regardless of how late the via rail Canadian pulls into Toronto, what is the minimum time it needs to spend there for servicing and cleaning? thanks.
The Canadian has 8-13 departures each way per month.The Canadian has four departures each way per month
But it runs thrice-weekly during peak season, during which it makes up to 13 runs in each direction in a 31 day month. Hence, 8-13. Either way, that's a far cry from "four departures in each direction per month". Still not a very usable schedule, but it's not nearly that bad.Two a week times four weeks per month makes eight.
It does not run thrice a week all the way. It runs only twice for its entire length even during peak season this year. There is a truncated Vancouver - Edmonton AFAIR, once a week, in addition to the twice a week Vancouver - Toronto. Interestingly the days of operation of the twice a week changes with the changeover between April 29 and May 2 from the winter to summer timetable.But it runs thrice-weekly during peak season, during which it makes up to 13 runs in each direction in a 31 day month.
