Via Rail proudly announce an upgrade to the awful, awful Halifax - Montreal line.

They are going to modernise it by using carriages built in 1954.

1954.
When I lived in the UK, there was a heritage steam train line with carriages newer than that.

Mind you, the village of Corfe Castle (pop 1,355) has more rail passengers in Nov and Dec each year than Halifax (pop 530,167) has in a year. #CanadaFail
