I got sent 3-4 emails a day of zero use (basically spam) and even though I unsubscribed, I kept getting those emails.

Train was cancelled. But no notification sent. I kept getting updates on phone with my boarding pass. And now a questionnaire on my enjoyment of my cancelled trip!

It was originally scheduled to depart at 4:30 pm. It finally left at 1:30 am the next morning. Not one during the 9 hr delay di anyone at Via keep us posted. The kept rescheduling it every 15 minutes fo 9 hrs every 15 minutes. It was the worst travel experience OI have ever encountered. Not sure why they refused to tell anyone what was happening and they kept lying to people when asked. There were 100's of us in line for 9 hrs
