Transit to the rescue of the Ile-aux-Tourtes bridge
Buses and trains are coming to the rescue of people who usually drive over the crumbling Île‑aux‑Tourtes bridge.

Are these the first trains to Hudson since the Hudson service was cancelled a couple of years ago, or was service to Hudson quietly restored before now?

I don’t know, John B, and it seems nobody else here has a response for you either.
Has it ever stopped being called the Vaudreuil-Hudson line, even though only one or two trains a day go all the way to Hudson?

IIRC the last time I checked, about a year ago when a friend bought a house in Hudson, there was one early morning train to Lucien-L’Allier and one early evening train to Hudson on weekdays. Minimally workable for commuters but not even that for day-tripping centre-city dwellers.

I don’t see any references online for the Hudson service ever being cancelled completely. The name was changed from “Montréal/Dorion-Rigaud” to “Vaudreuil-Hudson” in 2010. (ref)

I think I’m confusing Hudson with Rigaud. I thought that when they stopped running to Rigaud they no longer went further than Vaudreuil, but it seems they kelpt that one morning train from and one evening train to Hudson as well.
