Excellent. This was our first time using the train in Canada and it was really positive.

Ça a été parmis les Pires expériences de transport que j'ai eu jusqu'à présent. D'abord, un retard de plus d'heure ce qui a provoqué la perte de la correspondence avec le train de Québec. On a dû attendre donc 4 heures le prochain train qui a été aussi en retard plus d'heure. Un voyage de 8 heures est devenu un voyage de 16 heures. Vraiment déçu et fatigué.

The seats were comfortable. The space was clam. The staff kind. Only downside, we were late.
