If you're riding in business, you're doing it cause you want to work/eat/drink. You can't do that if your head is rested against the window, and you're asleep (that's what economy class is for). Edit: also it's a good storage space for backpacks, briefcases, purses, etc.

There aren't any stations for the trains to stop at.

I was serious, I live near the mid Toronto line and there have been more trains than usual. I had trouble sleeping last night because of the noise. Some locos had CN on them, but it's also not that uncommon even before the incident. Nonetheless, I'm sorry. I should have said that the CP mid...

Running via CP, nonstop trains on the mid Toronto line.

Wonder how many of them are anti abortion 🤔, if any, very hypocritical.

This election will cost at least $500 million ... assuming that a new variant doesn't pop up and tack on additional medical costs. https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=res&dir=rep/off/cou&document=index43&lang=e

4 Advantages of sitting in a rear facing seat on VIA plus one bonus Some people get motion sickness from sitting in them, and ask the service manager for a seat change leaving you with an empty seat next to you. If the train crashes into debris and goes into emergency, the front facing people...
