Dear Sir/Madam
I am writing to complain about some problems I encountered during my long train journey from Toronto to Vancouver on December 18th. As you know, Undoubtedly, it is one of the most famous and longest trips in the world by train, about 3000 miles that takes 4 days, and it was not expected to face
such
inconsistencies.
First of all, the departure time from the station was delayed by 30 minutes, and there was no one to guide me in finding my cabin. Unfortunately, my seat was occupied by some other passengers, and it took the crew so long to solve the problem.
On the other hand
, the facilities did not meet the explanations claimed on the relevant website. In addition
, sometimes, the behaviour of a few staff was impolite. Also
, the restaurant's service time and recipe options were limited, although
the quality of some meals could have been suitable for everyone.
Finally
, I appreciate your extensive efforts to offer various services, but it should not be forgotten that the most essential task shall be customer satisfaction.
Yours faithfully
