I remain paranoid enough to worry that there may be some accounting regime that stands in the way of VIA allowing its seat count to artificially inflate during the overlap period while the new trains are placed in service and before the old ones are retired.
But more realistically, the mechanical and maintenance pressures which we know are already pushing the envelope on the old fleet may well be at play here.
Certainly one would hope that VIA is able to sell every last ticket at the optimal price point when demand is at a peak. I wonder if the ridership just didn’t materialise as hoped. Nothing wrong with aiming high and having to course correct with experience.
