My wife and I will take #1 from Totonto to Jasper and then the Rocky Mountaineer from Banff to Vancouver the first part of May.
Couple of questions if I could:
We will be in and Upper & Lower birth on the Via train. Is there a place to store our handbag when the births are made up for sleeping? I have tried to look at the pictures on Via's website and it is hard to tell.
Anyone know if there are any power outlets available in the sitting area that could be used during the day. It looks like, again from the website pictures, that there is a table between the seats. Is there room on a seat for two to sit next to each other or does one have to ride backwards?
For such a long train it appears there are only two domes. Is it difficult to get a seat in them? I would assume they are usually crowded?
I assume it is safe to leave our bag at our seat area when we go to meals, the dome car, etc.
Any comments on this are appreciated.
Tom
