CORNWALL, Ontario – Stormont, Dundas, South Glengarry MP Eric Duncan has expressed his disappointment in Via Rail’s announced High Frequency Rail (HRF) plans.
The plan, would see a high frequency trains travel around Cornwall via Ottawa and Peterborough, with Cornwall left on its current, less frequent rail line.
“With today’s announcement to move forward with VIA high-frequency rail service up through Ottawa and Peterborough, there continues to be reasons to worry about what the future holds for service levels in communities like Cornwall that will no longer be along the main route,” reads a statement from Duncan.
