VIA Rail

Pros: Excellent service, on time, good facilities all across. The CAR’s need a serious renovations. Cons: Upgrade the cars / coaches. Very old seats and not very comfortable. Tips: Best bargain for your money, book at least 10 days ahead to get best deals. From Windsor to Toronto book seats above 11 numbers and from Toronto book seats below 11 number, so that you are facing forward both ways. Over great service…

VIA Rail

Pros: Very comfortable and smooth ride. Very spacious and had charging point to charge devices. Staff were very friendly and supportive. Cons: Needed to be a little cleaner, left over food left on the floor from previous passengers which had not been vacuumed. New seat coverings would be good. Tips: The escape seats are just as comfortable as the other seats so don’t be afraid to choose these seats- a good bargain.
