train from Quebec to Montreal

[knarf]

Hi all,

Looking for some help please.:)

Our cruise (Explorer) ends in Quebec City. We arrive on the 18 of Sept. and disembark on the 19th. Can I "catch" the VIA train to Montreal at 7:45 AM on the morning of the 19th. Can you leave the ship early since we arrive there the night before ? Or does immigration not get there until later ? What would the earlest that you think I could be at the train station ?

Thank you for the help. I am trying to get airfare out of Montreal, later that day. :)

Thanks

Frank

You should be cleared at the first Canadian port of entry

 

so if you can get to the train station on time you should be fine

I would arrange a taxi the day before to be there early in the morning

 

I am not sure how far the train station is from the port in Quebec city so best check ahead of time

 

Could you not get a flight from YQB to where you need to go??

Hi,

Thanks for the info. Air fare from YQB is about $670 and air from Montreal is $404 +$114(rail fare)=$518. I called Via rail and "he" said the train station in not too far at all from the port.:confused:

Good idea about setting up the taxi the day before.

Thanks neighbor..going to Pittsburgh tomorrow, I'll roll down the window and yell hello.:D

later,

Is that PP or total airfare?

 

How far are you from ERIE?

I saw flight from YQB to Erie for less but you do have a connection

We are 30 miles south of Erie

Where did you see the flight from YQB?

Welcome to my world re: airfares... :rolleyes:

 

The train station is very close to the cruise port - about a 15-20 minute walk over flat terrain, or a 5-minute taxi ride. I doubt you'll have much problem making that train.

 

That said, while I'm all for train-over-bus, there's actually a direct bus from the same station (well, the separate-but-same-building bus station) to YUL, which costs about $70. Check out the website here: http://www.orleansexpress.com/Search.aspx.
