Are the old Via trainsets now retired on this route?

[@TheRonto76]

Not at this point. The Charger sets presently operate Tuesday/Wednesday and Friday/Saturday. Older consists continue the rest of the week.

@@TheRonto76 Ah nice, I've been meaning to catch the old trainsets before they're retired for good. But I keep getting busy or making excuses to head out.

[@jackchen7003]

what line is it detouring on?

[@thetaylorwithautism2005]

Metrolinx Weston and CN Halton Subs due to trackwork on the Metrolinx Oakville Sub.

Hey Amtrak you’re going the wrong way😂 New York is the other way man, and on the wrong track too, you’re supposed to be on the lakeshore line west heading towards Niagara 😂. Do you need google maps 😂

It'll reconnect to the CN Oakville/Grimsby sub at Burlington West just before the Aldershot station, only forcing them to skip Oakville.
