VIA Rail service to St. Marys resumes

VIA Rail service to St. Marys is back.

Trains to the town were cancelled late last week because of blockades in support of the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs protest of the Coastal GasLink pipeline.

In a release this morning, the town says the customer service desk at the St. Marys VIA Rail STation is open for regular hours and staff are available to assist passengers.
