Via Rail

Travelled to Montreal. And from Montreal to Moncton.nGood affordable trip. 17+hrs travel time. Good for sightseeing while coming back from Montreal.nnAnd You may expect long halts if tracks are messed up. While returning from Montreal, there is long delays due to tree fallen on tracks. It delayed the trip by 5 hours. I spend 24.5hrs to reach Moncton from Montreal. Railway staffs are very helpful and kind.

The train ride, itself, is five stars. Staff were great but I can not recommend the train if you need to be on time. We had delays adding up to 5 hours on our Moncton to Halifax run. Reason one...CN owns the rail line. Via gets bumped for all freight trains. Reason 2...wet leaves on the rail. Via tried to make it up with free food but it was too long a wait. We took the train to see the fall leaves. Well it was dark!!

It's a train station well kept and let's you catch a train, what more do you want.nThey also have the Moncton bus station for connections to other cities.

My son's first time on the train. The experience was great! Customer service above & beyond

Terminal doubles as Via Rail/Maritime bus station. Equipped with vending machines, though short walk to Sobey's and Shoppers Drug Mart if you are on foot during business hours. Easy access to public transit approximately 5 minute walk. Porter delivered my checked item to ensure it was not damaged in the baggage carousel. Great care.
