Thanks for checking out VIA rail's service. A few notes: - book early with VIA for cheaper prices. - Melville has towns named after him across Canada, specifically Melville, Sk. - I added an extra zero. No way this costs ¥97000 🤣

La ligne de train entre Ottowa et Québec est à une seule voie et non électrifiée?! Mon Dieu!... Si on ajoute ça au fait que la gare d'Ottawa ressemble à un aéroport et que VIA Rail utilise encore des procédures rétrogrades comme l'enregistrement et l'embarquement, au total on mesure combien le transport ferroviaire au Canada est encore loin des normes en vigueur dans les pays civilisés.

Oui! I agree. There are a lot of improvements which can be done. I think rail travel can be done effectively in Canada but we are far from this reality. Merci pour le commentaire!

Oh jeez, I was so hoping you'd say what bus goes to the Ottawa train station.

The lrt (when running) stops at the station. This day the lrt was not running so a bus was used instead...hence this was not a 'regular' bus line. Tremblay is the lrt stop for the train.

Excellent video, it is good to be able to learn more about the trains of Canada, how beautiful the rural and aquatic environment of the trip! I liked it a lot, thank you very much and regards Andrew!

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Ariel! Although there isn't much passenger service now, it was very important to Canada in the past. I equally enjoy the sights of the trains you ride in Chile!

8:13 That's funny, because on Christmas Day when returning to Montreal from visiting my brother in Ottawa, my brother only had to pay $47 CAD plus tax coming up to about $53 for the ticket.

I like the station in Ottawa, despite the lack of amenities inside. With the windows on all sides but black framework for the roof, it's airy yet sedate. And it has the cool spiral ramp down to the tunnel to the further tracks if the train isn't on the one closest to the station. Best I could find was this shaky video, enters the station around 6 minute mark and shows the spiral ramp around the 9 minute mark. You might have noticed an elevator up through the middle of the ramp now, it's a relatively new addition finished shortly before the pandemic. kzitem.info/news/bejne/zouXt4yQm3t3onY

Why haven't you visited your national capital before? When you're even from the same province... I'm heading there next month, here in Europe I think it is so normal for all people to frequently visit their national town from time to time...close or far away, doesn't matter. And especially if it's such a pretty city like Ottawa.

I certainly can't speak for all Canadians, but I don't feel there is an expectation to make a pilgrimage to Ottawa. Canada is very large and with life, work, and school it isn't always feasible to visit the city. Unlike many capitals in Europe, Ottawa isn't a large major urban centre. Its just a govt city (though very nice). Funny you mention this comment though as I'm heading to Ottawa next week 🤣.
