ging fico 28 4 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, October 31, 1989 Tentative meeting in Ottawa set for talks over fate of VIA line The president of the Toron- to-Havelock Line Passenger As- sociation expects to meet this week in Ottawa with local MPs over the fate of VIA Rail service through this area. Paul Pagnuelo told the Star Monday afternoon a "tentative" meeting between himself and MPs Bill Domm and Ross Ste- venson has been set for Wednes- day. The Toronto-Havelock VIA line was one of many given the axe by the federal government three weeks ago, and this ser- vice is slated to end January 15. Mr. Pagnuelo said the Pas- senger Association wants to know if there is any chance the life of the service can be extend- ed beyond January 15. He also wants to know when or if negotiations might start between Ottawa and Queens Park with the intent to have GO Transit eventually take over operation of the line. So far, there has been no di- alogue about this possibility. And Mr. Pagnuelo said the local Passenger Association would still like to know why 16 recommendations submitted to the federal transport ministry on ways to improve the Toronto- Havelock line apparently were ignored. The Association also takes exception to figures put out by the federal transport ministry about the VIA service in this area. The minisitry pegged the number of riders last year at 59,000. The Association says the accurate figure is closer to 82,000, because the govern- ment figures did not include monthy pass riders or those who bought tickets "on board." Mr. Pagnuelo said the As- sociation believes the federal government has the responsi- bility to find a solution to insure that passenger rail service be- tween Peterborough and Toron- to "will continue beyond Janu- ary 15,1990." He warned that members of the Association will not sup- port Conservative candidates in the next federal election "if the Conservative Government con- tinues to insist that acomplete withdrawal from its 1984 local VIA commitments is in Cana- da's bestinterest."
