Thank you for a very nice video, enjoyed your narration. This brought back wonderful memories of may travels on the Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto and back this past June.
Did the entire journey, Vancouver to Toronto, just before COVID. Loved every minute. Was in a room for one and thought is wonderfully comfortable. The murphy bed was wonderful. Food, all through the trip was fantastic and always available with snacks, drinks. Lots of activities also. Would highly recommend it and will try to do the trip again, maybe in the other direction! Thanks.
Really nice, thank you. I recommend that anyone who is interested in doing this fantastic trip do it sooner instead of later. You never know what the future holds for great services like this.
Thank you! I only did a small portion of it, but met passengers who started from the west coast. If you enjoyed your Russian train trip, you'll like this one too, with landscapes ranging from the Rockies, to the Prairies and the Canadian Shield.
Usually the stewards would convert them back into seat mode during the day for safety reasons. I read that somewhere on the VIA website. Maybe because this was a short journey, it was kept in bed mode? For sure, the top berth person couldn't take a nap like I did :-) Thanks!

Good news, the buffer cars are gone from behind the park cars now.

That's great. It's on my travel list to ride the Canadian and Ocean trains cross country. Thanks for your comments!

Thanks for watching! It's on my bucket list to do The Canadian all the way to Vancouver, as well as the The Ocean to Halifax someday.
I enjoyed your video. I have always wanted to take a winter trip like this in Canada. I have done it in Russia, which has much the same winter scenes.

Nice video 👋

Hi! What month/year did you make this trip?
Late February 2023. Hope you enjoyed the video!
Question if you have a berth can you keep it in bed mode? or does that inconvenience the other person? Also I love your accent.
