I went on Saturday just to wander around and take pictures. The interior ambiance is like a movie set. I read online that many TV series and movies were filmed there. The only downside is the photos and informational signs from that era they've placed everywhere inside. It makes the place look so bad. Please replace them with old signs. The clock inside is very cool.
On this day it was the 70th anniversary of the Canadian which was previously owned and operated by CP rail but is now owned and operated by Via. They had a public open house where you could go through the train from front to back taking in what it would be like to be on the train. Historical pictures and items were available that day. The train station was clean and is of a design that is generally not built anymore so it's probably classified as a heritage site now, if not, it should be. The pictures enclosed are more of the Canadian train rather than the station. It was a good day and very much enjoyed.
Came here in May recently to take the Amtrak bus to Seattle.nNice building but King Street station in Seattle is more impressive.nWaiting area is comfortable.nnSince there are no assigned seats, people started queuing much earlier before scheduled departure time, similar to the Amtrak train we took to Vancouver.nThis is not good for family members travelling together.nnCan't understand why assigned seats is not implemented, even third world countries have better system.
We arrived at Pacific Central Station early in the morning, even though our train wasn’t leaving until 4 PM, and we were pleasantly surprised by how clean and quiet it was for a train station.nnThere’s an A&W where you can get something to eat, plus a few small shops with souvenirs, snacks, and drinks. There’s also a vending machine if you just need a bottle of water.nnA big plus - they offer same-day luggage storage for passengers. We paid $6 per bag and were able to explore the city without carrying everything with us.nnBoarding started exactly on time, and the process was quick and smooth. Since we were traveling to the U.S., we also went through customs at the station - it was fast and well-organized, with helpful staff.nnOverall, a comfortable and convenient station with everything you need before your trip!
Unpleasant impressions from a trip from the USA to Vancouver BC.nThe train was completely full, so it was difficult for me and my daughter with a disability to find two seats next to each other. The only place where it was possible almost got away from us: two girls took four seats and tried to deceive that they were waiting for friends in order to save more space for themselves.nnUpon arrival at the station, everyone was standing in such a ...... corridor.... more like a cattle pen... and we were waiting in line to check our documents. You might think that the station is so busy that there is no place for a comfortable location, but no: we spent several hours there, and during all that time two buses and only our train left.nnThe train station itself....well, I expected more from a train station for such a city. I couldn't find anyone to ask my questions because the Amtrak staff showed up just before boarding. There is no window with an employee, there is only a table in front of the gate, and it is empty most of the time. There is no service for the disabled, everyone is standing in a common queue.nWi-Fi. Although three unblocked points were found, NONE of them worked.nnThere are a couple of places to eat at the train station. 1- A coffee shop where you can buy a sandwich, muffins, and cookies. 2- sushi. It's very clean - an employee is constantly walking around and cleaning up the trash.nnAfter the USA, everything is very unfriendly. Would I like to go again? Absolutely not, it's better by car.
