Canadian Railroads > VIA Call CentresDate: 01/15/22 10:58 VIA Call Centres Author: Train29 Just a shout out to VIA's excellent customer service. I called this afternoon to change my March reservation now that Prestige Class won't be available. The very friendly agent in Moncton answered the call in less than a minute. The cancellation and re-booking was done in quick order and we had a nice discussion about restrictions, Canadian politics re: Covid etc. No preaching about mask wearing. She simply said "I assume you know the rules." Too bad Amtrak can't provide that same level of efficiency.

When are you rescheduled for now? Date: 01/19/22 10:25 Re: VIA Call Centres Author: joemvcnj Of course besides corridor cuts, their non-corridor trains are running mostly 1 day per week, not 2 or 3 days. For 30 years, anything more than 3 days per week outside the corridor is considered a luxury and are gone, even after Greyhound's demise. Not all things up in Canada are wonderful. They have great on board customer experience, and it's nice they can answer the phone, but there are so few trains to call them about.

Amtrak's call center, however, has been a major struggle this pandemic. Last night I called them and was on hold for an hour and forty minutes.
