VIA Rail Sarnia Toronto recent customer reviews

Horrible. I was on a train that goes directly to Toronto from Sarnia. I was told my ticket had me get off at London and transfer. Thst train broke down before arrival I had to spend 4 hrs in London with no phone and money to even be able to find a way home earlier. I was late for my evening shift and written up. My dog wasn’t able to get let out and ruined my carpets in my house. The worse experience I’ve had travelling. Ever
