The Start of our trip
Our adventure started in the Toronto Union Station where we were greeted by Via's knowledgeable and hospitable staff. We were guided to the first class waiting lounge where we were treated to both breakfast and lunch. The food was very tasty and large quantities were available complete with drinks. Normally lunch isn't served in Toronto however due to unforeseen problems that weren't of Via's doing, the train arriving from Vancouver was late which resulted in our train leaving behind schedule. Via's staff more than made up for this by doing their best to keep us fed, comfortable and up to date on the changes occurring. It wasn't long till we were ready to go. Once on the train, we settled into a very comfortable and relaxing mood. The train has a way of soothing your tired spirit and you soon learn to move about to the rhythm of the train and its way of life.
