What is the main train station in Windsor?

Windsor Station is the main passenger rail station in the city. It is the southwestern terminus for VIA Rail Corridor trains and handles intercity services running east through Chatham and London toward Toronto. Windsor has no second major intercity rail terminal, so most passengers booking trains to Windsor or trains from Windsor use Windsor Station as the rail endpoint.

VIA Rail Corridor trains from Windsor use reserved seating, so your ticket normally includes an assigned seat for the selected departure. Advance booking is recommended for Friday, Sunday, holiday, and university travel periods on the Windsor-Toronto axis. Same-day bookings can be possible, but the lowest fare categories may be unavailable when trains are busy.

Is there an airport rail connection in Windsor?

Windsor does not have a dedicated airport rail link. Windsor International Airport is separate from Windsor Station, and passengers transfer between the airport and VIA Rail services by road transport. For rail-air connections on the wider Corridor network, Toronto Union Station links to Toronto Pearson International Airport by the Union Pearson Express, but that transfer is outside Windsor.
