VIA Rail Montreal Ottawa recent customer reviews

I wasn't able to go due to a death in my travelling companion's family. VIA Rail refused to give me credit to another trip. The idea of a nonexchangeable trip is pretty ridiculous, especially when it's VIA Rail and half empty.

A very pleasant experience - much more comfortable than a plane or bus! Will definitely use VIA Rail again.
