Proper way of writing VIA Rail

VIA rail shall always be written with the V, the I and the A in capital letters. 2607:FA49:B840:AA00:88C8:452A:CCFB:93C7 (talk) 22:07, 6 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

MOS:TM. Not on Wikipedia. oknazevad (talk) 00:09, 7 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

According to MOS:TM, "exceptions may apply, but Wikipedia relies on sources to determine when an unusual name format has become conventional for a particular trademark; only names that are consistently styled a particular way by a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources are styled that way in Wikipedia." A quick look at journalistic sources (IE: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/via-rail-bill-people-over-freight-1.7066700) shows that it is normally spelled Via outside of Via Rail's trademarking. 138.51.82.49 (talk) 15:24, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

I worked for VIA Rail between 2013 and 2015 and internally, it was said to always write VIA in capital letters. ~2026-31755-27 (talk) 18:12, 27 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

The only issue I can see is the 'background' section not entirely needing a heading. Otherwise I think it is fine. Millsy0303 (talk) 05:39, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
