Tips & Warnings
Travel light. A single easy-to-maneuver bag will make your entire vacation more enjoyable.
Wear comfortable "no-wrinkle" clothing. This is especially important if you have long or overnight travel plans or a sleeper/couchette ticket.
Pack a camera. The memory of those sights you think you will never forget will be brightened with a photographic nudge when you return home.
Stay hydrated inside and out. Keep a well-sealed water bottle, lip balm and hand/body lotion with you.
Check the status of Ontario Northland train arrivals and departures by clicking "Train status" on the main Web site.
Ask about senior, child or student discounts on train tickets.
If you're traveling for medical appointments, for a family funeral service, in groups or as a family, you may be eligible for discounts on train tickets.
Arrival, departure and connection times are not guaranteed. Keep your vacation itinerary flexible to avoid problems.
Don't bring alcohol for personal consumption aboard trains. You're only allowed to drink alcoholic beverages bought on board.
Tickets bought the day of travel are sold "first come, first served." Tickets may not be available for the train you want.
Prepaid tickets will secure a seat but cost extra.
