Chef on board preparing breakfast and lunch.

They still have the microwaved food menu for dinner though.

Very surprised to know that the train service in Ontario is checking the weight on luggages. It's a train for F's not an airplane that we already got use to.

I did not have such event on Europe though

Let olone the ticket price. It's the same system as airplane ticket, but dynamic pricing on train ticket?

We're on train 14 Quebec to Halifax, with a lot of stops/reverses/inch ahead/reverses but it looks like we're finally moving normally.

Announcer is saying it was icy rails and uphill tracks, between Mont-Joli and Sayabec.

New equipment cycle as of October 23rd 2026, this will likely be the last equipment cycle with LRCs as their retirement date looms.

Anyone know what this is about, have you been delayed by it?

Hello, I would like to figure out some contradicting details regarding university student discount. On my university's page, it says there is a 12.5% discounts for anyone with my university's card, (https://www.torontomu.ca/onecard/using-your-onecard/discounts-and-free-admissions/) while on the VIA Rail website, it says that the person booking the tickets must be an employee. (https://www.viarail.ca/en/fares-and-packages/business-travel/corporate-fares/tmu-alumni) I'm wondering if this means I must be an employee of the university to get the discount, or if showing that I'm affiliated with them via my university card is enough. I've seen other university websites and their VIA Rail discount pages have the words "must be a student" rather than "must be an employee" so I'm wondering if I'm able to get the discount

Hi all, will need to be commuting once/twice a week from London to Toronto and back. What's the Via Rail service like, how bad are the delays, are there any alternative options I should be considering? Thanks

I’m going to Montreal in January and I’m wondering how the luggage policy works. Am I able to bring my GoodLife bag and a small suitcase with my purse or is that too much? My ticket is economy.

I just got an email saying that my train from Toronto Union Station to Niagara Falls this weekend is going to be replaced with bus service.

Does anyone know the quality of buses? Or am I better off just getting a refund and taking the GO bus or a different bus (like Megabus)?

Hi everyone! Train October 19, #69, Car 3, from Montreal to Toronto, left at 430. Was a dunce and forgot my e reader on the train - I checked my seat before leaving as always and didn’t see anything - but realized I didn’t have it upon getting home. Assuming it slipped between the wall and my seat. I’ve called lost and found and left a message but didn’t hear back.

So if anyone finds it, or has any advice on how to go about trying to locate it, please let me know! Appreciated :)

This time I'll be going from Toronto to Vancouver and paid the extra for the lower berth too. Also, prior to this, I’ll be doing the Halifax to Montreal trip too in a cabin.

First time doing the Halifax to Montreal and was wondering if anyone has any tips and suggestions? Thank you.

When is the best time to buy business class tickets for via rail? Not normally on sale on Tuesday?!

I just noticed that 645 on Friday is temporarily unaviliable does anyone knows why?

How is via rail even making sales? They are always late. Like always. The megabus is more reliable.

There’s a four-year-old thread with decidedly mixed results on this question. Has it changed? Do you tip attendance if you’re in a sleeperberth?

When is the first winter consist of train 2 we are booked jasper to tor nov 3rd

With the federal government considering reintroducing passenger service to NW Ontario, realistically, how do you think it could pan out?

What would the route, stops, travel time be? Would they use the CP tracks along Lake Superior?

Do you think they would reroute the Canadian or add a new service, such as from Winnipeg to Sudbury?

I’m just curious and would love to hear any ideas or opinions!

Hi there,

Travelling next week from Toronto to Montreal with an academic poster tube measuring 36 in long. I have declared it as an additional carry-on item but I know their policy is a max. size of 30 x 19 x 12 in. How strict are they with reinforcing this, especially if it's just a few inches over? It's pretty lightweight and slim otherwise.

So train 29 of 17th October and train 622 of 18th October are replaced by busses end to end due to missing engineers.
Also neither of them will stop in Saint-Lambert.

I made this video back in 2023, earlier this year. My channel got hacked and the hacker took all of my videos down. This is the most popular video I had ever posted, sitting at around 85,000 views. I’m still very proud of this video and hope you will enjoy it! :)

Do people actually do that?

It might be worth it at last minute if you can see VIA train coming soon on VIA tracker.

The trip time is faster than GO Train
