Canadian Trains.

ok here is the story so far. me and a friend are leaving scotland to visit friends in minnesota, the plane cost was £400 from london but this would involve a plane trip down to london, so instead we are gonna fly to toronto from glasgow and jump the border either in a plane or train.
the flight to toronto is only £65 so it will work out mucho cheaper. the trouble is finding a train which leaves toronto to minn in october, or indeed find a canadian train company who travel over the border. if worst comes to worst we can phone a friend to pick us up from toronto but we would rather try and find our own way. p.s. google sucks balls on this topic, so please do not suggest googling for it. the last 2 days i have tried so many google searches it is not funny.

thanks for the help. also chances are we will be staying in toronto for a coupleof days so if any canadians live near feel free to post in this thread and we could maybe meet up, if not in october in apri.

Have you tried Google?

Let me send my aunt an email. She's a travel agent out of Toronto, she can tell you what the cheapest way is.

But can she find fake porn images of Mariah Carey.

I can ask.

I just know I'm gonna get one of these: :huh:

Amtrak

to reply to the man with the face of a rat:

http://www.canadianaaffair.com do the trip, it is only one way, but that is all i want, as the return will eb 6 months later. thanks for looking into it for me nikki. and thanks for the link lynx i am gonna check it just now.

I know that site spider, but wheres the £65 flights?

Cheapest I can see are £89 one way, based on a return.... from Edinburgh. Unless you wanna goto Birmingham or Manchester :unsure:

Or is your price less Taxes? ;)

search for glasgow to toronto, 10th or 17th of october, one way.

bump

;) Staying 6 Months with an American Women?Your fucking crazy.2 weeks at the most.At the fucking most dude.

Jan is saying that a train/bus is probably the easiest, rental car may be cheaper but more difficult crossing the border. Plus the differences in the traffic laws etc. can be confusing so it's easier to let someone else handle the driving. Not to say that you're a bad driver - but driving in Toronto is hell even to someone who lives there. Trust me.

PM me with all the info, dates, exactly where you're going, and she can give you exact pricing if you want it. :)

america aye.

cheers nikki, i have one other question. i was looking at an atlas today and the distance from totonto to minnesotta seems fucking huge, a friend says it's only a few hours drive, so there may be a chance a couple of friends will drive up to meet us, party for a couple of days and then come back down with us. i will pm you nearer the time as it is 6 months away, so plans aren't definate as such. thanks for the help.

It's about a 15 hour drive I would think. About 1500km.
