We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with the online booking engine. Due to a persistently unstable reservation system, we are unable to sell certain products, such as the Canada 150 Youth Pass. More info will follow once the situation has been resolved.
Update 3/29 @ 8:30 PM EST - The 'Buy this pass' button is working on the VIA Rail website again, and claims there are 1,867 passes remaining. But the website seems to be crawling when you go to purchase.
