VIA Rail Amherst Halifax recent customer reviews
Staff were very nice! Sad that there wasn’t many canteen choices for children. Our trip was delayed until 5:30 and there were no pizza, no cheeseburgers and only 1 hotdog to share between 3 children. The complimentary food box was an excellent idea but small children were not a fan of tuna salad or pepperette
