@@realadrieno Fools and their money will soon be parted. It is pathetic given the level of taxpayer subsidization. Just remember the man making the video is from Japan where they have world-class trains, not the USA with its AMTRAK
When you travelled in August, the new train was only deployed on the Quebec City - Montreal and Montreal - Ottawa sections. The first deployment onto Toronto - Ottawa and Toronto - Montreal happened only in November.
Greetings from the GTA (Greater Toronto Area), Kuga-san! Thank you for showing your "plan-B" with us. I've taken the Corridor service between Toronto and Montreal several times on Business Class. The usual complaints from many pax have been delays due to whatever reasons (but mainly due to the VIA Rail routes are shared with the prioritized freighter traffic) and expensive fare (compares with the airlines). Regarding the new Siemens Charger locomotive - Venture coach trainsets, I'm also looking forward to ride on it. Others have already mentioned that your "reality has been shattered" when the new trainsets are only deployed gradually for the Toronto-Montreal routes. Anyway, love your channel over the years as always. THANK YOU.
Thank you for visiting Canada, hope your travel was safe and you return soon. I'm planning my trip to Japan in the spring and I will try one of the overnight ferries I have seen on your videos, Thanks again !
I’m with you all the way about the awkwardness of sharing when you’ve paid for business/first class. UK first class trains have single ‘airline’ seats with, adjacent, a block of four seats. You can book accordingly and, certainly, if you are having a meal you want one of the single seats. Anyway, another great video - thanks.
I get the impression this was close to a last-minute booking. Normally a solo passenger is not seated at a four-seater. VIA keeps them for groups of three or four. If the quads are all that is left then that is what is assigned. Single seats are popular and are booked long in advance. From my experience, this happens in the UK and Europe as well.
@@davidthomas2761 Four-seaters at the end of the carriage are supposed to be reserved. The middle 4 seats are different, they are not treated specially. I don't know why they do this.
I really enjoy your videos. I started watching as I am planning my first long cross country rail trip. But I think the lack of narration makes your videos unique. They are still very informative, but just, relaxing, like the train travel itself! Thank-you.
Hi Kuga-san. watching all your videos and enjoy them.I have done all the trains in Canada eight years ago, like you have done. I am also a train enthusiast from Germany. In Europe and South America.Russia and South Korea. but I must say one thing. nothing compares to Japan. for me the cleanest and best country in the world. I have been by train from the south to the north. from Kagoshima to Sapporo and whole Hokkaido island. Also Kyushu island. never never had a problem with the trains in Japan. Not only the Shinkansen but also the limited express or express trains.the best food I have ever had in my life was in Japan. from delicious Bento box for the journey to the Izakaya restaurants all over this beautiful country. everything is working perfect, even the flights on the highest frequented line worldwide Tokyo to Sapporo are on time.Arigato Gozaimasu for your Videos
The only negative sides similar to what is happening in Europe are privatisation and underinvestment in, and resulting closures of rural lines. They at least privatised with vertical integration (meaning the same company runs the trains & manages the tracks), but that also means that it is much easier to "excuse" the closures.
Hi , nice to see you are on another journey across Canada l do think the price of your train ticket is to high for what you get ,the food did look ok . See you on your next journey across Canada hopefully on a better train (Maybe this 🚂or Maybe this one 🚄 let’s hope 🤞and see ? l hope you have a lovely weekend with lots of laughs and fun.xx💕💕🤗🤗xx
0:47 🙈 waits with anticipation for your video on the Maple Leaf. Just checked my calendar and I was working on that train from Toronto to Niagara Falls, Ontario that day (August 8).
I am so excited for you heading to NYC!!! As I predicted you woould last week!!! Too bad you didn't get to Québec City, but you'd have to spend some time to drink that gorgeous, fun place up! Bon Voyage.🤟
2:27 At recording time, the new Siemens trainsets still needed to be staying at a "fair distance" from the Montreal Maintenance Centre overnight, which include Ottawa and Quebec City. Which meant that the handful ones doing either Montreal-Toronto or Ottawa-Toronto had to come back from Toronto before the end of the day. But now, as I write this, the Toronto Maintenance Centre is ready to get (and maintain) these sets, and has received their first one there, the other 12 went down to Montreal.
Yes awkward but sometimes life does that always accept the challenge...and you never know you may meet a lifelong friend...step outside your comfort zone the world really is wonderful...stay safe and thanks for sharing regards Doc from Down-under in Australia.
Thank you for visiting Canada. I live in Hamilton which is about an hour southwest of Toronto. I take the GO train to visit Toronto all the time. The GO train is used for shorter trips (2 or so hours and has no food offered onboard but you are welcome to bring your own.) The GO train is very popular and widely used for commuting to Toronto for work from the outside cities.
We're in a difficult spot in Canada, with the freight railways owning the tracks, and the huge distances between smallish population centres. Along with all the spectacular nature we have, comes the difficulty of transportation.
@@williamparker1085 sadly not really everyone else, otherwise we'd have politicians and people pushing for it. The sad reality is most people want more highways and car infrastructure, and investments in decent train infrastructure is always pushed back studies after studies... We'd rather make 10 feasibility studies on any big train project before even starting it...
For the Amtrak Adirondack, the service was playing back and forth between cancelation and normal service. Poor track condition was and is still an issue for Via Rail. A lot of service is cancel due to this single reason. "Service was suspended in March 2020 due to the closure of the Canada-United States border in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, resumed in spring 2023, and suspended again at the end of June 2023 because of track conditions in Canada. Service again resumed in September." From Wikipedia.
The train is the best way to get to Montreal from Toronto, or visa versa. I’ve flown(expensive)and driven(boring and expensive to park), but I’ll only take the train now.
When you visit Canada again to try the new trains, you will be able to select your seat on the train. VIA Rail just upgraded their website & app with new software that allows seat selection. You shouldn't end up in any awkward seats.
Did you make it to your hotel in one piece? I live in Montreal but am from Ontario and have to take this train often. Never business class though. Always delays. WiFi never works. Takes forever. You were lucky it only took the five hours. Hope you were able to enjoy Toronto a little.
Greetings from Canada, Kuga-san. How did you like Halifax when you were there? Did you see any of the sights there? And, how did you like the coffee from Tim Hortons?
The fastest train was the 5pm, 4 hours, now lucky if 6h20 is the normal. The lounges should have coffee/tea/juices and snacks, snacks being something substantial. The fares are high enough with very old equipment. Senior get no discount unless paying full fare - this is not right.
Yo Kuga, while in Canada did you try Poutine? This is Canada's main fast food. It is French fries with gravy & cheese awesome. I see you kept showing those tidbits, poutine makes that look like dogfood. LOL enjoy your stuff keep it up.
You didn’t pre book so they gave you what they had. Why complain? Take seats that you can get for asking so late in your travel plans. 2 hours before boarding from Montreal to Toronto is cutting it short.
I actualy think the train looked better then new one in my oppinion,sometimes new is not always better and as someone who traveld lot by catamarans as littel found that to be tru as I usealy find myself not impressed by most of the new onse I traveld with
You mean, why so slow. It keeps getting slower every year. But, the stations look really nice. I'd rather the European model, fast trains and basic stations.
Don't complain about comfort on that train, I spent 12 hours on a WOODEN bench on a Montreal to Chambord train ride some years ago... I NEVER TOOK THE TRAIN AGAIN. If Via Rail wants customers, they better offer BETTER services, at a more frequent rate, better speed, and decent accomodations.
I always never liked this train. always delayed, slow and miserable seat quality. And the flights are more efficient including the wait time and getting-in and out of airports. I wish our country's train system gets better and better. but given the massive land, the infrastructure is not there and it's not easy to justify train over flight. but one day, I hope we will get there. Thank you for the video. I enjoyed it.
I was in a taxi taking me to the VIA station for a trip to Windsor from London. The driver asked me how much the ticket was worth and I said, "I dunno, the return half is about $60 bucks, I guess" (It was a VIA 1 ticket, 1st. class) He says, "Well I'm at the end of my shift, I usually charge $100 an hour, but you seem cool so I'll flat rate you for the 100 and and extra $50 for the gas." Deal. He waited while I ran into the station and got the refund for the return portion of the ticket. Plus, I had a bag of weed and we had a real nice time on the way down there.
Hmmmm? I think I’d rather sit next to someone in economy than face someone for 4 hours in business class? 4 hours at Montreal Station? Think I’d find a French restaurant for a quick dinner before boarding.
Your Canadian train odyssey has been a bit hit and miss. That did not look like a great set up for business class at all. I hope you get a decent train and seat for the NY leg.
The 4-place groups are sought after for families or meetings. No-one booked the whole thing this trip, so these were the last ones sold individually. On the "Ocean" train he just got off of , traveling single he still would have shared a table in the dining car.
Here's a crazy idea, how about more than 4 or 5 coaches on this trunk route? It's so embarrassing - the stock is 50 years old and the train looks like an Albanian branch line service (no offence to Albanian trains)
The LRC trains are only 40 years old. More coaches are not available to lengthen the train as many in this class have already been scrapped due to corroded aluminum. The new Siemens trains being built in California are slowly entering service but it will take a couple of more years before all are in service.
Kuga -San wow another foreign mass immigrant YTbuer who came over 50000 miles just to rate a washroom 75/100 on our trains when in his country a hole in the ground washroom gets 1/1000. Thanks Kuga-San what did you tell US Customs when you entered the US? I am just here to rate washrooms?
I don't understand why anybody takes this train. It's expensive and slow. No wonder there are so many flights from Montreal to Toronto. This should be Canada's first bullet train run.
Via rail has the most terrible policies I've ever seen their service isn't customer friendly... Unless u have a sleeper berth.. You aren't allowed in the dining car... the need a human rights complaint against them..I'm diabetic and traveled from Toronto to Edmonton in March... NEVER again... They are horrible I got so sick ..from their discriminatory policies .. via rail operates like a third world joke.. Shame shame shame on them.
On your next train adventure or wherever you travel to mr kuga san research online to check that they have solo seating💺 cause its uncomfortable when you want to relax and your sitting with strangers and you have to hear their life story which in my opinion can get boring and you and me as train buffs just want a seat to ourselves cause i want to relax and hear my phone not strangers life stories. Blessings mr kuga san and blessings to all the people of nihon 🙏 📿 ✝️ ⛪️ 🤲 🇯🇵.

For a cost when booking, one can request specific seats. Otherwise, at least online, it's accept what they chose for you.

Great route
@Kuga's Travel -- when you travel, what do you pack or bring with you? Could you please do a video showing what you pack? Thank you.
A new train and also the route between the two largest centres for business in that part of Canada
Wow. I didnt expect there to be a meal included.
As Canadian I know for fact that Montreal - Toronto is one THE busiest line !!!
I believe Via's most popular route is actually Toronto-Ottawa. It has the most frequency at up to 10x daily. Much more than Montreal
When you visit Canada again to try the new trains, you will be able to select your seat on the train. VIA Rail just upgraded their website & app with new software that allows seat selection. You shouldn't end up in any awkward seats.
Yes the food should have been better quality. Did you go and see the CN Tower? Was there a trip earlier?
Welcome to Canadian travel. Over charge and under deliver.
Boa viagem trem do Canadá Montreal Toronto 6:11

Greetings from Canada, Kuga-san. How did you like Halifax when you were there? Did you see any of the sights there? And, how did you like the coffee from Tim Hortons?
You didn't try the Polar Bear Express? Cochrane to Moosonee Ontario.
Very nice!
Great trip, sadly you didn't got newer train.
That’s in the summer, not a year ago. It would be dark at that time of departure
Welcome to my home city of Toronto!
This seating in a group of four looked kind of crowded, especially for a business class. At least they didn''t place a toilet in front your seat. 😂
The fastest train was the 5pm, 4 hours, now lucky if 6h20 is the normal. The lounges should have coffee/tea/juices and snacks, snacks being something substantial. The fares are high enough with very old equipment. Senior get no discount unless paying full fare - this is not right.
good job
This train seems louder than usual
Did you like the Timbits?
👏👏👏
I guessbyou didn't see the seat map and direction when you picked your seat.,
Yo Kuga, while in Canada did you try Poutine? This is Canada's main fast food. It is French fries with gravy & cheese awesome. I see you kept showing those tidbits, poutine makes that look like dogfood. LOL enjoy your stuff keep it up.
Next time, take the Montreal-Ottawa-Toronto and you're pretty much guaranteed a new train
Kuga's Travel , Thanks Much !.......
How is sharing a seat or table awkward? is this not the norm on every train everywhere?
Didn't you have seat selection? Regardless, you should have been allocated a single seat.
You didn’t pre book so they gave you what they had. Why complain? Take seats that you can get for asking so late in your travel plans. 2 hours before boarding from Montreal to Toronto is cutting it short.
Do u need visa to enter bew york?

Plus, I had a bag of weed and we had a real nice time on the way down there.
Not sure if you could call Amtrak plan a though.
It's a horrible catch-22. VIA can't really improve much if no one rides it.
Hmmmm? I think I’d rather sit next to someone in economy than face someone for 4 hours in business class? 4 hours at Montreal Station? Think I’d find a French restaurant for a quick dinner before boarding.
