According to the users, the service was friendly and punctual, offering a beautiful ride. However, there were mentions of an old-fashioned feel that some found reminiscent of boarding a vintage train like the Orient Express. Despite this nostalgic charm, it seemed outdated and somewhat disappointing for those expecting modern amenities.
VIA Rail Smiths Falls Toronto recent customer reviews
The train was more than 40 minutes late leaving and arriving, making it very hurried to make the connector train to airport and making our flight to Bandkok.

Very oldfashioned, I had the feeling I was boarding the orient express. Actually entering the train and with it being so old and grungy it felt like a let down.
