Began my morning by being denied access to a train (for which I had a ticket) that was still sitting in the station because boarding ends 5 mins before departure. My fault for not reading the policy, but not a great start. Spent the extra $$$ to get a ticket on the next train. After onboarding everyone, they announced a 45 minute delay because a crew member was absent. We rode the train for 40 minutes after that. Suddenly, we stopped in a random field. Why? I can't say. They never told us. The employees were sympathetic and I could tell they felt bad. Save yourself the trouble and do not book a viarail ticket. There's a lot of ways I would rather waste $200.

Yes, it's small, but it's cozy, and I find it much cheerier and cleaner than the city station. I agree with Fauve - I think taking the train is the most pleasurable and civilized way to travel.

Note that this station is also a major transit hub, so there's a ton of buses to get you anywhere in the city you need to be. The service here is good, and it has a much more calm and relaxed feeling than any airport I've ever been in. Don't be alarmed - it is, in fact, right next to a field.

TL;DR/The Short Version: The Business Lounge at the Ottawa…read moreVIA Rail train station has been newly renovated (around 2020) and is much bigger with a few private meeting rooms. The Long Version: This lounge is for VIA Rail passengers travelling VIA 1/Business Class. There's a front desk where you must show them your ticket before entry. This lounge underwent major renovations which started in 2019. I'm not entirely sure when they were completed because my next visit after 2019 was in 2024, lol. I'm pretty sure it didn't take 5 years. Haha. The new lounge is much more spacious, has lots of different set ups when it comes to seating, from desks, to couches, to tables, to even a couple of mall private meeting rooms. They have several Van Houtte coffee dispensers that make coffee, lattes, hot chocolate, etc. They have several varieties of teas, as well as sodas and juices. The only food they have is apples. They have lovely sinks for you to wash your hands near the food area, but no soap (!) Like they didn't have any soap dispensers, not they ran out of soap. Please install some soap dispensers. Luckily they have soap in the washrooms, which are all gender-neutral/unisex and wheelchair accessible. They are all single rooms, not stalls. There are several televisions in the lounge some show the news (with closed captioning) and some show a slideshow of Canadian landscapes. There's also a screen that shows the station's departures. The lounge is big, bright and clean. I like it. My only complaint is lack of soap by the sinks in the food area. Review #30 (2025)
