On a trip from Toronto to Vancouver with a stopover at Jasper I assume the fare is a combination of the Toronto-Jasper and Jasper-Vancouver fares rather than the through fare?
Are the # of redemption points for Privilege travel on the Canadian the same for summer and winter?
Yes guys, I know that the Manor and Chateau cars were built by Budd (although my first trip on the Canadian was 50 years ago this summer in a Tourist Upper). Generally Budd sleepers had the same room dimensions as other builders although the number of streamlined cars with sections was limited. In the absence of being able to find anything referring to the dimensions of the CPR cars, I had only the VIA numbers and the Pullman numbers to rely on. I personally have found the lower berths extremely comfortable and I am 6'2'. However if you have only the VIA numbers to rely on the bed would seem short for a six footer. I was hoping someone would have some published CPR document which gave another number than VIA's. Thanks.
