Cons: The location where the train stops at Guildwood station should be marked out, or a sign posted. The train is only about 4 cars long and the platform is huge. If the train stopped at the other edge of the platform, I would not have been able to make it to my car in time before the train left. Tips: Make sure if you get travel sickness to get a forward facing seat. I was lucky that I was able to change my seat because I didn't check the ticket, and my seat was facing backwards. I don't know if the wifi was working or not because I get travel sickness if I read or use my phone; I ticked "yes" just because there's not an "n/a" option.

Pros: The scenery was beautiful. Cons: Via rail should have more seating in the station for customers awaiting train travel. Tips: Better deal to purchase tickets through Wanderu. I tried to purchase directly from Via and much more expensive.
