The service is very nice but we had a 5hour delay and no alternative was given (in the middle of the night)

Via staff where great! The train was 2 and Half hours late. Not happy about that and the excuses they gave. Computer generated responses. The attendant explained it better than the emails I got from Via. We were late so we had to wait for the trains that were on time. He was being honest the Via system was making up excuses. Not happy about that.
