I recieved a notification of a delay in when the train would arrive to Toronto (screenshot available upon request) which was displayed with no specified timezone.
If I can get a reasonable explanation on why they would tell me in Atlantic standard Time without so much as a disclaimer I will gladly forefit my fare, but I don't see that happening

Via staff were great! The only problem I had the train was late and I was given three different excuses in emails. We left late and then there more complications and I got more emails saying why. They were computer generated responses and they should have just come clean about it. I was scared I was going to loose my Hotel room. I called them and they insured me everything would be okay. Not happy with getting to destination 2 hours late
