Via Rail will give you a schedule when you book your tickets. But I am wrong, it gives it to you in local time, which you can scrape or even use the via rail api. So it is the person getting off in Creighton who wants to tell his relatives back in Halifax what time he is arriving (in their time) (so they can call him and avoid the hellish hotel surtax on long distance calls) who will have the problem. And this is the sort of use case I think we will see a lot of. >Blame politicians for this.
