VIA Rail Ottawa London recent customer reviews

The train was significantly late. I went by train because it was considered more reliable. I was late for the meeting and this is unacceptable.

Unfortunately I was not able to get internet with any consistency. It kept dropping off required a re-boot of my computer. I lost a day's work. This is the reason for taking the train, so that I could still get work done. I will likely look for an alternate form of transportation with reliable internet in the future. No washroom available in car # 5 from Ottawa to Toronto. One was locked out and the second one would not flush ( flashing green light). Staff was great but these issues were not their fault.
