Quebec City to Montreal and then to Ottowa - bus or train

Which is more scenic, taking the Orleans Express or the train between Quebec City and Montreal.
We are then going onto Ottowa.- train or bus?
As we have booked city centre hotels we don't want to use a hire car until we leave Ottowa.
We are 2 seniors travelling with luggage - each with a large case and hand baggage

Train definitely

There isn't much difference between the routes from Montreal to Ottawa whether you travel by bus or train. Whichever you prefer.

Time/money/comfort are more significant factors. Train terminals in Montreal and Toronto are right downtown; however in Ottawa the terminal is just outside the central core, about a 10-15 minute bus ride from downtown.

I don't know about the Quebec-Montreal train, but the bus isn't scenic...
