  There is a covered building beside the platform here and I could not see anything aside from a basic seating area inside. It's not much but looked to offer good protection from the elements if needed. There was nothing much that I could see near the station and would spend as little time there as possible.

  There is no city transit nearby, you are looking at a minimum 10 min walk for a bus stop, food, shopping, etc.

  Very small and functional station. no transportation and no snacks. But you will survive if you go an the sleeping car. I would suggest stopping by a store before coming to the station. This place everything but a real station. It looks more like a rail truck in a factory yard. It is most of the time closed and most people in the city have no idea of its existence. You may have do difficulty find it.

  Nothing - nothing at all is near this place. There needs to be more thought around the blanket policy that cargo takes precedence over humans. Conductor circulates to aay 30 mins to Edmonton...forgot 40 more mins to station and 40 mins to juat ait amd wait to pull in and get off.

  Falsely advertised their Student 150 pass in March 2017, originally saying there were unlimited passes. Then, they oversold anyways. To those they oversold (~2100 people), they prioritized everyone elses bookings over theirs, thus rendering a chunk of those 2100 people unable to properly book their vacations. Now the student 150 pass they fought for is useless, so they seek to get rid of it. Cant transfer it to someone else, put their name on the ticket. Oh, and refund? They dont get a full refund. ~ 66% refund only. Never will deal with Via Rail.

  Passenger trains are not a priority in Canada as a result the train will never be on time. Food is available from vending machines but is questionable at best. I strongly recommend bringing enough for a few meals before the train shows (I waited 6 hours past the original time for my train).
