      Wow, not as great a sale as the "50% off" implies. Thanks.

      Also, sorry to get off topic, but I couldn't help but notice your signature... It doesn't really make much sense. By adding up all those taxes up like that, you're implying you pay 81% of taxes from your total earnings. But the different taxes are for different amounts. A 2% drug plan tax, for example, isn't going to take away 2% of ALL that you earn. You are most definitely not left with only 19% of your total earnings. I don't think that's how math works.

      Again, sorry to get off topic.

      I don't think VIA runs Sleeper trains to Mtl anymore, at least from Toronto. Which is a pity.

      That said, I also noticed that the real discounts aren't truly 50%, since the Discounted/Supersaver fares are already in that neighbourhood already. Still, I suppose it's the best deal so far for travel beyond April. It's about the same price as airfare, and you don't have to take off your shoes to get on a train...

    • Saw a Via Train pass by Weston Road just above St Clair.

      Very few passengers with most seats empty.

      Train was going slower than usual. I counted one person per car but I'm sure there were more I couldn't see.

      Another very well run Crown Corporation.

      Guess the saved on fuel with less weight of passengers and their baggage.

      I'll try it one day when deals like this correspond with my schedule though.

    • I have my doubts that 50% makes for a good Via rail deal - I paid less than that two summers ago to travel from Edmonton to Halifax. But I can say you certainly get what you pay for. Edmonton to Toronto was sleeper class and it was a fantastic experience. Those train cars are old but the service was great, observation cars, a true galley for meals, a tiny but comfortable private cabin (well you don't want to spend any more time in those little toilets than you absolutely have to).

      Toronto to Ottawa to Montreal were commuter Via trains. Not much to experience there other than sometimes the free Wi-fi actually worked. Montreal to Halifax was the cheap seats. Horrid experience because it seems the staff just don't care about that class of passenger. One (working) bathroom for about 100 passengers for 25 hours. Not always told about stops where we could get off the train for a walk or a quick meal. No real galley for meals. No observation cars. Yes, much regret for not paying for sleeper class.

      Agree, I went all the way to Vancouver from Toronto two summers ago on sleeper plus class and that was 50% less than this deal. Service and food were surprisingly good. My second day on the train was Canada's day and we celebrated with cakes, champaign and hors d'oeuvres. It was quite enjoyable. I highly recommend those who haven't done that yet. It's one of the best way to learn how beautiful Canada really is.

    • I used to LOVE riding on the train when I was a kid. I wish it weren't so expensive otherwise I would use them... it's insane how expensive it is. I don't even know how they are in business.

      If you remove the reference to "election" in your signature, you are less likely to punished for being "political". RFD has a strict pretend we live in a dictatorship policy. Also, you do realise you are part of the tax problem (using subsidized Via Rail).

      I'd wait until after the federal budget to make any summer plans on Via Rail. I suspect the cuts will be drastic.

      About $2100 total with an additional 10% off coupon code that you can find floating around by a search.
      It's for a cabin for 2 end of July.

      Another experience to scratch off the bucket list!
