Service was great, train from Oshawa to Montreal, was on time which is saying a lot for travel these days. Comfortable and relaxing trip.

It was my first time on Via Rail. The ride and comfort was smooth and comfortable. However the customers service I received from the server (waitor) was unaccepable.I will not ngo into details unless asked by Via Rail. I did pull him aside without the rest of the passenger knowing to let him what he did and how he made me feel. He did apologize, and about 30 mins. later offer me a tea or coffee on him. I refused because the damage was already done and so it was difficult to accept his drink. This will not stop me from taking a Via Rail train in the future.

Comfortable seats. Plenty of leg room on return journey. Disappointed that we couldn’t pay cash for refreshments on the train as I get charged to use my cards abroad.
