After several weeks of cancellations due to blockades on its tracks, Via Rail announced early Friday evening that service was resuming on most of its routes.

In a press release, the Crown corporation said partial service will restart on its Montreal-Toronto and Toronto-Ottawa routes beginning March 3.

Full service has also been restored to Via’s routes connecting Toronto with London, Windsor, Sarnia, and Niagara Falls.

“VIA Rail is reaching out directly to passengers with reservations to update them on the latest developments,” the agency wrote.

“We would like to inform all our customers that this transition will take time and have an impact on the reservation system.”

Via Rail noted that as of Friday evening, 940 trains were cancelled due to blockades across the country, affecting more than 164,000 passengers.

Service along some routes between Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City resumed Feb. 18.
