A good talk today from a gentleman by the name of John Ring. Regional General Manager West at VIA Rail Canada. John talked about the changes VIA has made over the years.
Nowadays with airports having all of the security in place you have to be there hours ahead of time. The train he mentioned is used more for journeys within 150 mile distance, and will get you there close to your required destination.
