VIA Rail Ottawa Burlington recent customer reviews

Was a very nice trip overall, but my seat was switched last minute from a window seat to an aisle seat which made it comparatively uncomfortable for most of the trip. The staff was very sweet and helpful otherwise, and the seats felt comfortable and not overly crowded
