VIA Rail Toronto Ottawa recent customer reviews

It was very good except we were late getting to our destination. The passenger train was caught behind a freight train. I recognize the economic importance of freight but could scheduling not be done a little better? The staff were excellent.

The train broke down and delayed our arrival for more than 2 hours. I had to cancel my trip and return home which was exhausting and disappointing.
