If you take the train from the US, from another province or from anywhere else in Quebec, you'll arrive at Central Station (Gare Centrale) which is right downtown. From there you can take the metro at Bonaventure station or even walk since Central station is connected to the underground tunnels (see the Underground city district). The only direct connection from the US to Montreal is Amtrak's Adirondack train that starts from New York city. Amtrak also has a bus/train service (called the Thruway Motor Coach operated by Vermont Transit in this case) that completes the circuit, so you can take the Vermonter from Washington DC to St-Albans (Vermont), for example, and complete your trip from St-Albans to Montreal using the bus (actually you can also take a Northeast Direct train from Washington then the Adirondack to Montreal) or go from Boston with the Northeast Direct train to New Haven (Connecticut) where you can take the Vermonter train to St-Albans (Vermont) then take the bus to Montreal. The Amtrak's web site has a system called Trakrouter where you enter your point of departure and destination and it will list the different routes you can take with up to two connections. If you want more specific information on the Adirondack itself, check their East section of the Travel Planner. If you are traveling from anywhere else in Canada or Quebec, you'll use VIA Rail. Their web site also has an online reservation system. P.S. The Windsor train station (i.e. the other main train station in Montreal) is only used for commuter trains, although the Gare Centrale is also used for one commuter train line. < back... |
