  Ottawa Station is a small but convenient and clean train station with four gates, a few minor exhibits, restrooms facilities and one little restaurant where one can essentially buy sandwiches, salads and breakfast but also a few newspapers and magazines. Staff is helpful and polite. I think that the national capital deserves a bigger and more modern railway station. An issue is the lack of space for taxis, cars and buses in front of the building which causes some serious delays.

  Trains are fabulous for winter travel and families!! Love everything about it. Thus station has not changed in years, goes to show when something is built correctly, it can last a long time. Friendly people that speak both official languages. A lot of walking to get to trains, and back again. Very spacious building with extraordinary high ceilings, makes for good air. Restaurant on site.

  (Le français suit). Via Rail Canada should be ashamed of putting us on a filthy train that looks like it’s from the 60s (see pics). The train has ash trays but no table and no cup holder! We’re in 2018! Also no changing table in bathroom. The windows were dirty and the view of mostly a wall was less to be desired.

  The travel rates were reasonable (economy) and the on train service was friendly, helpful and equally reasonable for on ride purchasable goods. Veggie tray, for example, was crisp and fresh for the convenience and price point.

  Via certainly tries hard. It gets barely any funding, mediocre ridership from people who would rather sit on the 401 to Toronto in bumper to bumper traffic or deal with parking at the airport and wait in security lines only to find out their plane is late, rescheduled or cancelled. I've enjoyed the service, large leather seats, free WiFi, the customer service and the walk on convenience so close to town. Best part? You can arrive just 15 minutes before departure and no one is going to ask you to take your shoes off before you get on.

  Traveling as a family of three was completely positive experience. Via went above and beyond to ensure my 7yr old daughter's first train ride was a great one.
