Before you board
A few things travellers often ask us about. We'll go through the specifics for your trip when we book.
Arrive early
Plan to be at the station well before departure, especially for long-distance trains and if you're checking bags.
Luggage
Carry-on and checked baggage rules differ by route and class. We'll tell you the allowance for your ticket.
Accessibility
Let us know about mobility, dietary or other needs when you book so we can request the right arrangements.
Delays happen
Long-distance trains share track with freight and can run late. We build sensible buffers into connections and hotel stays.
Documents
Bring government-issued photo ID. International travellers should check entry requirements for Canada well ahead.
