VIA Rail Ottawa Brantford recent customer reviews

Staff was friendly and helpful. The train ride from Ottawa to Toronto was not as smooth as expected, either it was due to an older train or the tracks could use some work. Also, on longer train rides over 2 hrs….there should be complimentary sandwiches like they used to offer.
