I know this is an Amtrak converstaion site but does anyone know of a similar site for the VIA Canadian. There is a site here but not much conversation. Just rode the EB from Chiciago and the CZ to LA and now thinking about the Canadian.
The EB on the 25th from Chicago is apparently lost somewhere. Has it been cancelled and what do they do with passengers when the train doesn't go.
I'm scheduled on Aug 1 and am getting concerned about whether there will be a train.
Looking at VIA sleeper fares, it shows economy bedroom an d just bedroom for 1 or 2 persons. What is the difference between the two other than a slighly lower price?
Do they assign specific sleeping rooms and car when reservations are made for the Canadian? Are specific rooms assigned when purchasing under the fifty percent and 75 percent special sale fares?
Arriving at the Chicago station 2 hours before departure, can reserved tickets be picked up in the Metreo lounge or do I have to get them first in the main lobby?
