Practical Information for VIA Rail Travelers

Toronto - Windsor Corridor services use carry-on luggage rather than a checked-baggage service. Allowances and any additional-bag charges depend on the fare and assigned equipment.

Luggage Allowance

VIA Rail's personal-item limit is 43 x 33 x 15 cm and 11.5 kg. On Toronto - Windsor, check the allowance attached to your fare for additional carry-on pieces; do not apply the larger checked-baggage limits used on long-distance trains.

Storage Facilities

Toronto - Windsor coaches have overhead shelves for smaller items and larger luggage racks within the carriage. Rack layout varies between Venture and older Corridor equipment; keep aisles, doors and accessible spaces clear.

Special Items

Do not assume that a full-size bicycle can travel on every Toronto - Windsor departure; acceptance depends on the assigned train and available facilities. Check musical instruments and sports equipment before booking, since this route has no checked-baggage alternative.

Toronto to Windsor Map

The route leaves Toronto along Lake Ontario toward Oakville and Aldershot, then turns inland through Brantford, Woodstock and London. West of London it crosses the agricultural plains of southwestern Ontario toward Chatham and Windsor. Not every train calls at every station. The line ends at Windsor's Walkerville station on the Canadian side of the Detroit River, without a through passenger service to Detroit.

VIA Rail links central Toronto with Windsor's Walkerville station without airport transfers, although Windsor's downtown still requires a local connection. Several daily trains provide alternatives to driving the Highway 401 corridor, while coach times vary with traffic and stops. Flights are shorter in the air but add travel to Toronto Pearson and from Windsor Airport. Rail generally has a lower per-passenger emissions footprint than flying on this short domestic route.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
