VIA Rail Vancouver Toronto recent customer reviews

Liked the conductor/manager services & all personnel. A bit frustrating was waiting for freight trains to approach then to pass. Our train returning lost power & delay almost 5 hours but more not being told why long delays. Being in economy shouldn't be treated as lower class & choices of food, drinks especially paying higher prices than on land elsewhere for quality should be reconsidered.
