Hi,
I'm currently planning on taking a VIA corridor train sometime soon from Windsor to Toronto - been wanting to do it for a while, but finally getting around to doing it.
Anyway, I have a few questions:
1) How good is the on-time performance of VIA corridor trains (particularly Windsor-Toronto)? Are the trains pretty much on time (like Amtrak NEC trains and some other corridors like Surfliners), or are long delays common like on Amtrak LD trains (or even some corridors like the Wolverine). I'm wondering because I may want to go to a game at Rogers Centre (next to Union Station) and want to make sure I arrive in plenty of time if coming same-day.
2) Is the wi-fi reliable on the train? I have an iPad with cellular and plan to bring it on the train, but may forego buying a Canadian SIM for it if the wi-fi is reliable as I'll already be paying for Canadian data for my iPhone...
3) Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can get prepaid Canadian SIM cards for my iPad/iPhone once I get to Windsor? I know the major Canadian cell carriers will have these (as well as Best Buy and the like), though in some cases I've heard these require a Canadian credit check, credit card, and/or home address. Both devices will be unlocked
