Great TR!

If you are traveling on a budget, I suggest you log on to the VIA Rail site each Tuesday for discount deals. This time of year, I have seen the sleepers on sale.

Remember that some of these fares don't incl. meals. Alternatively, you can travel in economy and get on and off the train to catch up on Internet, sleep, etc. Many of these cities have Fairmont hotels e.g. Edmonton,Winnipeg, Toronto.

Alternatively - if you really want scenery - go to Jasper and take the train to Prince Rupert.
