I just ordered a whole whack of reservations for train travel over the summer... and got some rather good prices too for ordering in advance.

The big prize is my trip to Montreal this August; I got the "supersaver" discount for advanced purchase plus the delightful 10% convention discount, and I may even have gotten the 10% discount for paying with my Visa card... so my return fare for Business class seating (meals and taxes inclusive) was $243.81. (Hee, I just noticed that I even got window seats each way.)

If it'll get you to where you need to go, rail just works.

-- Steve's wondering if these'll accrue points to his just-requested Via Preferance account, or if he should've signed up for the points program first. Oh well, it had to be done anyway.
