Customers express dissatisfaction with the service, specifically mentioning delays and late arrivals. These issues seem to be consistent across multiple reviews. Additionally, one review mentions a long delay due to another train's mechanical failure that blocked the track. The offered discount on the next ride aboard the same train was not useful for this customer as they were on vacation and will not be using that train again.

VIA Rail Kingston Ottawa recent customer reviews

Cabin was very clean and spacious, bathrooms as well. Communication between the company and patrons regarding delays, ETA, departure platform, etc. was very clear and consistent/easy to find. However there was some serious delays that caused me to nearly miss a flight.

Not bad for a first train experience. The long delay was disappointing but out of their control - I understand that another train had a mechanical failure and blocked the track. The offered discount on the next ride aboard the same train was not useful to me as I was on vacation and will not be using that train again.
