porsena Posted September 22, 2010 #3 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The central station in Quebec City is Gare du Palais, and you'll probably want to go from there to Montreal Central Station unless you're headed directly to a flight, in which case you want Montreal Dorval. I'd have no hesitation using VIA Rail's website to reserve a ticket. The link is in Twickenham's post. You'd pick the ticket up at the station office in Quebec when you get there. Splurge for a business class ticket if you can and look for an online special or supersaver fare. It costs much less than you'd expect from your airline experience and it's a great way to travel.

bento2744 Posted October 3, 2010 #4 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Our ship docks in Quebec City. How long does it take to get to Montreal by train? About 3 1/2 hours, it makes 3-4 stops enroute and pulls right into station which is across the street from Chateau Champlain Marriott. Special rates available on limited basis, I paid $89 pp for business class with full meal service with wine. Very relaxing ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTJ Posted October 9, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 9, 2010 While the train is comfortable, there are only a handful of departures each day. On the other hand, Orléans Express operates express buses every hour between the two cities, also taking about 3 hours. The buses leave from the same station in Québec as do the trains. Consider both options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
