VIA Rail Toronto Chatham recent customer reviews

The VIA rail is much different than I remember. The space is limited. I was travelling with 2 kids and our seats were separated. The wifi didn’t work and the food cart didn’t come around until we were almost at our destination. (4hour trip) I ended up having both kids sitting with me in two seats.. not sure if I’ll be taking it again. Wasn’t enjoyable as it used to be
