' Group wants Via to open its books fully A group of Toronto- Havelock rail passengers want Via Rail to open its books fully to prove that the line is not operating at a loss. . A dozen people who use the line daily met at the Port Perry home of Les Parkes on Sunday to form a steering committee for the Toronto- Peterborough-Havelock Passenger Association.
