Ekidon - Québec

Cute little station with a lovely interior design. Unfortunately nothing was open due to the pandemic but the service for VIA rail was smooth and swift.

A small, cozy station with a convenience store. This is my first time using VIA, and I’ve been pretty impressed by its operation. I am glad they didn’t go on strike!

Used the station for Orléans express. Use the main entrance, and go straight all the way if you are riding Orléans express. The architecture is lovely too.

This is a great little train station. My family and I took a return train to Montreal from here late last year. The station has a variety of shops and cafes. The restroom was clean and well-lit. We arrived early for our train and were able to store our bags for a couple of hours, allowing us to explore the neighborhood. The station provides tags for bag collection, which is convenient. The exterior of the station is artistic, with funky artwork in the garden across the street. There are two entrances to the station, one on Rue Abraham Martin and one on Rue de la Gare du Palais, so it's important to keep this in mind when arranging transportation. The train departed on time, and the check-in and boarding processes were efficient. The staff was friendly and helpful. I'm not sure about parking options, but hopefully there is a parking lot nearby since the bus station is also located next to the train station.

This place is top-notch. I loved the architecture and the lady at the counter was extremely helpful. We found some food for the kids before boarding the train to Montreal. Our experience was enjoyable.
