Lost or stolen tickets

The moment you notice your tickets have been lost or stolen, call VIA Rail's toll-free number 1 888-VIA-RAIL (1 888 842-7245) or TTY 1 800 268-9503 (hearing impaired). You may also go to the ticket office nearest you.

If you have an e-boarding pass, simply print out another copy of your e-mail.

Lost tickets can be re-issued with no service charge on the departure date by the station’s agent. If you are departing from an unmanned station, you will be able to board the train without a new ticket. You will have to present a photo ID and the Service Manager will manually validate that you are on the manifest.

Lost receipts can be re-issued by a VIA Rail agent at the ticket counter.
