My grandparents want me to plan a trip for them to mainly take the Canadian. But first they want to see about stopping in Syracuse to see their friend, and then board the Maple Leaf to Toronto to connect with to the Canadian that night. The Maple Leaf is scheduled to arrive into TWO at 7:42 PM. The Canadian leaves at 10:00 PM, three days a week. So is that a connection you would make? I suggested they should probably pay for a hotel in Toronto for a day, seeing how they will probably pay quite a bit of money to ride the Canadian, and I'm not very aware of VIA's cancellation policies when it comes to missed trains. I know when I rode the Canadian last March, there were no refunds or exchanges, but I did get a deeply discounted fare for my trip.
