Review of VIA Rail Canada

Via rail ... a love-hate story.

Via rail ... a love-hate story.
Trip Quebec-Mtl:
Friday night economy class, we had a wagon they call (I believe) "the rebirth"; each row has 3 seats wide (2 glued, the central aisle and only one on the other side).
A total comfort, comfortable bucket seat, lots of space, dim lights, big tablet for the computer and even put my coffee .... that happiness !!!

Return trip (Mtl-Quebec):
Sunday night in economy class always.
It was atrocious. A nightmare.
We had a wagon with four rows of seats in each row (2 glued, center aisle and 2 glued).
Seats very uncomfortable, a very small tablet to put the computer (which happens to fall regularly).
The big lights on all the time (I asked to sift them, but I'm told it's not done); in short impossible to rest! Travel totally uncomfortable.
Via Rail who advertises to travel comfortably and rest ..... we will forget that!
