VIA Rail Quebec City Montreal recent customer reviews
Late start. Several delays along the way. Terrible communication and seemed as though they did not care. Offered ‘compensation’ for the delay in the form of a useless discount for the next ride on the exact same route and time within the next 12 months knowing that hardly anyone will be able to use it in that way
Ben W.
Train was smooth. Seats comfortable and staff was friendly. Train ran late due to having to pull over for freight trains. Not a big deal for us as we were not on a tight schedule. Ham sandwich on a croissant was fresh and coffee palatable and hot. Air conditioning was a bit much - I'd recommend a sweater even if it's 30C outside. Didn't see any power outlets at our seat but maybe I missed them.

Super smooth, great service in the train, complimentary coffee. We arrived 20 minutes late which is surprising for train but we didn’t mind.
