Canada's NEW TRAINS: VIA Rail's Siemens Venture Trainsets

Seeing the crew being excited for new equipment is so cool. It must be nice to finally getting some upgrades after 20 - 30 years!

The original Ottawa train station was right downtown. Of course the people responsible for moving it to the 'burbs will never admit their mistake.

VIA's new Venture coaches look so awesome! I love the simplicity of the livery myself. Plus those interiors are spectacular. Can't wait to see more Venture coaches down here to the South in the US!

VIA new Train looks so amazing VIA did a good job

We made this train . I love work with Siemens ❤

That shirt you asked for exists! I haven't been in the Toronto lounge for about six months, but, I bought a nice black shirt with the stylized Via as you described for $20! It was purchased from the Toronto Lounge.

Thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge and commentary. I'm an Economy rider, but my recent first ride on the new train felt SO classy. You highlight the best parts - the on route screens above, the seats and ports way ahead of the last major change (when the modern "airplane-style seats" were introduced - awful!). The downside on the big beautiful windows are the window blinds - they should be split so if the person ahead or behind you wants a nap, you're not stuck without a view. A big Yes to the washrooms, the best, with space-age doors. No more water sloshing all over on the bumpy rides that bounced you against the walls. The washroom control buttons are a fun challenge ( I was not the only one who thought the door automatically locked, with embarrassing results). I feel a renewed hope for VIA, to ride again the tracks that connected people from the biggest to the smallest communities of this great land.

I love how much attention was paid for the dissabled facilites! Other railroads can learn a lot! Great video as always!

After seeing so many failed parts of the train, I now understand why via rail didn't put them into mass service despite already receiving 6 trainsets ! They still need a lot of adjustment.

I will confirm that these things are crazy quiet. One was being transported through my Illinois town and it was so quiet

I'm glad the screens and announcements worked on VIA. Just yesterday I rode a new Venture train on Amtrak's Illinois Zephyr. It looked almost identical to this (though in a blue color scheme), but the screens and announcements never changed from what was there for the boarding process. Hopefully Amtrak will get that ironed out as they use more and more of these coaches.

Thorough, in-depth, honest, and positive -- thank you!

Can't wait to ride one of these trains.

Now, the CN/VIA will have to fix that technical problem for Amtrak in Canadian section of the bad rail system from Montreal to N.Y. City. Now there is no train fromN.Y. City to Montreal for the summer. It is urgent!

Thanks. Great tour of Via's newest train.

I can't wait for ONRs (Ontario Northland Railway) 3 new train sets to arrive on my choice railway, Timmins to Toronto run!

The biggest improvement that VIA's Venture coaches have over the ones used by Amtrak is probably the passenger information. Amtrak's passenger information displays barely show anything useful (basically just the list of next stops without any time estimates), and aren't even working a lot of the time, so they are pretty much useless.

Very nice modern bright clean and spacious.. and build to last. I like this kind of train .

First rate review of VIA's new Siemens trainsets and absolutely the best map graphics I have seen anywhere! Happy to have found your channel and subscribed.

22:01 that 4-seat group space doesn't even have any window access. fun way to travel.
