Edmonton

Very small and functional station. no transportation and no snacks. But you will survive if you go an the sleeping car. I would suggest stopping by a store before coming to the station. This place everything but a real station. It looks more like a rail truck in a factory yard. It is most of the time closed and most people in the city have no idea of its existence. You may have do difficulty find it.

Quite far away from the city center, free wifi, clean washroom, snacks vending machines and customer service reception.

Great facility, great staff. Plenty of space to pick up or drop off. A little hard to get to without a car.

Even the old Soviet trains in Siberia have beds for the lowest class cars. This railway has you sit in a chair for 36+ hours with the lights on.With the cheap airlines you can fly to Vancouver for as low as $20 sometimes.And if you’re thinking of the “views” just drive, you can’t see anything through the trees or rocks right next to the tracks.Rail is such an underused method of transport in Canada, and instead of looking to the rest of the world for practical and pleasant accommodations,A cabin and the option to even buy food shouldn’t cost $3000+.

I would give this via rail station and Edmonton a -1000 because of the disgusting Customer Service. The station manager is very rude and aggressive. The station manager obviously has no conflict resolution or management skills. This station manager should be fired. You are trying to promote tourism in Canada and you got people like this working at via rail. having these people represent our country through our rail does nothing good for Tourism. The station manager needs to realize that he works for the people of Canada. I would never use via rail again because of the rude staff.They are rude to everybody. They don’t care if you’re elderly disabled or a mother with kids. Shame on them! You will be reported to the accessibility advisory committee.

Absolutely horrible place. There is even no sidewalk to get there from the bus stop. And even no crossing to cross the road. How is it even possible? The station was closed when we got there to see it. Who is it made for? Absolutely disgusting spot

If u know Edmonton there's many parks and trails for biking walking picnics etc great restaurants if u take the time to look some major attractions such as the zoo which is finally starting to have some appeal, fort edmonton, nature center, space science center etc wyte ave and downtown if your into doing some shopping or into the spirits excellent restaurants and night life as well...

It's my home town, have always loved it.

DO NOT FALL FOR IT, no views, no food. 30+ hours.travelled economy, not having a bed for a two day trip was going to be uncomfortable regardless but we had hoped that it would be more fun than flying. However we were surrounded by people playing music loudly, yelling, people who had clearly been using who would not stop trying to talk with us, sick people without the decency to even cover their cough and even a person smoking in the cabin.The economy class food options are very limited (chocolate bars or cans of Soda) also and there is not very much time at stops to get provisions otherwise.With the trees along the tracks you can’t see anything so it’s not even scenic.It’s unlikely we will ever take the train again after this but it seems that getting a cabin is the only way to go as economy may as well be a very long greyhound trip.
