Hi All,
Okay here's my plan... during the month of August I'd like to take the Via Rail from Toronto to Edmonton aboard "The Canadian". It travels the route between Toronto and Vancouver stopping at Junctions along the way in Sudbury, Winnepeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Jasper and Kamloops covering the lakelands, praries, western plains and rocky mountains. It's a 3 day journey, and you can get off anywhere you want (even if there is no scheduled stop).
Via Rail is running a promotion where seniors (60+) purchasing a ticket can have a companion ticket in comfort class for FREE, or a companion ticket in sleeper class for 75% OFF. I am in my early 30s, and was wondering if anyone/couple/group with a passenger of 60+ years would like to split the cost of the first ticket so we can travel for half the price. The cost of both tickets in comfort class would be $480 ($240 for each of us) or for sleeper class which includes all meals, shower, bed and perks $983 ($492 for each of us). I'm flexible with the dates in August, and would prefer the comfort class because it is cheaper but am game either way. There is a coffee shop and restaurant onboard in addition to junction points along the way with restaurants and shops which would be far more economical in the long run.
Please let me know if anyone is interested.
