Windsor to Toronto Route Overview

The Windsor to Toronto rail route links Canada's automotive border city with the country's largest metropolitan rail hub. A distinctive part of this trip is the southwestern Ontario section through Chatham-Kent and London, where VIA Rail shares track with freight traffic, so small schedule variations can occur. Seats on VIA Rail Corridor trains are reserved rather than open seating, and boarding staff check tickets before or at the platform. The Toronto arrival is at Union Station, directly connected to the subway, GO Transit, UP Express to Pearson Airport, and the PATH pedestrian network.

The Windsor to Toronto train runs from Windsor station to Toronto Union Station, avoiding airport transfers and arriving directly in the downtown rail network. Intercity buses can be cheaper but often take 5 to 6 hours and may be affected by highway traffic on Highway 401. Flights from Windsor Airport to Toronto Pearson are short in the air, but check-in, security, and airport transfers add time at both ends. Rail is also the lower-emission choice compared with flying for this southern Ontario city pair.

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