VIA Rail receives praise for its clean rail cars, friendly staff, and efficient service. Many users appreciated the helpfulness of porters and enjoyed amenities like coffee service on board.

VIA Rail Toronto Kingston recent customer reviews

I was very pleased with the actual journey and checking etc., but travelling from London I was very frustrated by not being able to download the app in the UK, and not being able to telephone the help line. I needed to check about adding baggage and was unable to do anything until I landed at Toronto airport. So although the travel to Kingston itself was fine and comfortable and efficient, the pretravel experience was very worrying.
