Here’s a deal for you happy travellers. Via Rail Canada are offering us 2 train travel tickets for the price of one….

• Where: Online @ ViaRail.ca
• What: 2 for the price of 1
• When: Valid until December 11^th, 2008

The following routes are in this offer....

• Canadian (Toronto-Vancouver) in Comfort class or Silver and Blue class
• Ocean (Montréal-Halifax) in Comfort class or Comfort sleeper class
• Chaleur (Montréal-Gaspé) in Comfort class or Comfort sleeper class

I was trying it out on their website, and things seemed very, very slow…. So be patient with it.

I enjoy travel by train… I travelled across India by sleeper train. Was definitely better than using the roads. I much prefer it than air travel as well – I can never, ever seem to sleep on a plane! As the independanttraveler says, “Napping is one of the most underrated pleasures known to the human race”. Hee hee. That's a sentiment with which I wholeheartedly agree!

If you were to take this cross-Canada Via train, I bet the scenery would be amazing too!
