 | |  |  | Train: Arranging our train ticket to Quebec. | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
Long before we began our trip, I booked as many of the “key trip” travel components as possible. That included a train trip from Montréal to Québec. When I made the booking via internet, I found the trains are relatively infrequent, so we had to be on the earliest if we were to save as much of the day as possible for sightseeing. (We were told, while there, that most people do this trip by bus). The Canadian railways are privatised, so the company operating in this area is VIA Rail (website detail below). The website was easy to navigate and I was pleasantly surprised to find that, even as an overseas visitor, a senior discount was available for me (Australia’s States are far less generous). I must admit though, that I was slightly bemused to find that I paid full fare, while my wife gained the discount for coming along as my “carer”! I hadn’t realised my doddery advanced age was so obvious! So, finding ourselves in Montréal with a computer printout voucher, the question was how to convert it to a ticket? It proved easy: just place the printout under the moving red scanner in the machine main photo and our tickets popped out. Isn’t this new-fangled gadgetry useful!

I'm a big fan of trains and VIA Rail :) I just think it's the greatest way to travel. The trip there is worth going in itself- the scenery is beautiful, the service is great, there's always someone to talk to or play cards with. And, all this can be done from the comfort of your seat!
