The Canadian

The Canadian is the newish name for the train between Vancouver and Toronto. It used to be called the Trans Canadian when it was operated by the Canadian Pacific Railroad. It takes 4 nights and 3 days to travel across Canada through some of the most amazing scenery in the world. The best thing is that there is the occasional bit of wifi in the towns and the bit of phone signal too. Other than that it's just the journey.

The original 1950's aluminium clad rolling stock is still used albeit with an inside bit of re-decoration. Very comfortable and great fun. This is still one of the great rail journeys of the world.

The cabin is cosy but once the mini bar was set up I was good to go....
