VIA Rail Salon Affaires - Business Lounge

The Business Class ticket is worth it if you get to the Train Station early. Free coffee , newspapers, and juice/pop, as well as apples !

Nice spot to sit with free coffee and other drinks, but no private washroom (you have to go out into the station to the public bathrooms - a long trek back and forth, especially for disabled).

Nice coffee machine with a variety of options, fresh ground.

Learn to read basic french to use the coffee maker. If you want a regular old coffee choose "cafe noir" :-)

simulacrum of a lounge : cramped, no USB/power outlets, no food, very limited drinks, no beer/wine/drinking water, no snacks but apples ! even the mags are fake copies for decoration (baudrillard)

Very quiet waiting for the first train out to Ottawa. Might be that people don't like to get up before 5 am...

Be prepared to stand in the afternoon

Not very panorama but comfy , missing glass bottom on trains :)

This place is hot and overcrowded.
