VIA Rail Montreal Ottawa recent customer reviews

I don't think i will take it again because it's a great hassle to take the shuttle bus in the winter. Also, the train was late and time kept on changing. It doesn't get announced appropriately. I almost missed my train although I was waiting for an hour.

I appreciated the cart service along with the convenience of being in Ottawa in 1- 1/2 hours -thats amazing

I wasn't able to go due to a death in my travelling companion's family. VIA Rail refused to give me credit to another trip. The idea of a nonexchangeable trip is pretty ridiculous, especially when it's VIA Rail and half empty.
