I was wondering if the second train to Vancouver BC showed on the reservations site yet, so I put a couple of different dates in for next February, the 2010 Winter Olympics are February 12th to the 28th.
The northbound train that I inquired about is sold out for the dates I tried. The second train doesn't show yet - the one they plan to extend in the evening, to continue the run up into Canada for the Games.
I am not surprised, but there it is. I wonder if travel agents bought the tickets in like cars at a time? There are only 2 Superliner coach cars on that train the way it is now. That's the whole train, 2 coach and one lounge.
Someone said they might have the Talgo train back on that run in the fall - but it's been Superliners for more than 2 years, and was only supposed to be for a few months initially. Don't know if that would add capacity. I'm sure it would sell out in 2 seconds anyway and the second train too when it goes into the system. Dang! I bet the evening train is sold out from Seattle to Bellingham already too.
I don't particularly need to go to the Olympics, but I do go to Vancouver regularly to see my boyfriend. It's going to be interesting for everyone here! Bet we will have a lot of visitors here in Bellingham!
Has anyone here lived in a city where they were holding the Olympics, or a similar event such as the World's Fair?
