Jan. 3rd, 2010 02:26 pmWhee, free wifi on the train. It's free because the connection is... less than awesome, but it's getting the job done.
Not surprisingly, with the massive storm we were travelling through we were about an hour and a half late getting into Montreal. Not quite late enough to get the 50% travel credit. :p But late enough to miss our connection. Not a big problem, since they just stuck us on the next Toronto bound train. I just wish someone could tell us what's going to happen with our second connection. I know we won't make Toronto in time for the 4:25 train to London, but no one seems to be able to tell us if there IS a later train to London or when it is. I've been told that worst case scenario is they stick us in a cab. :p They've assured us that the ticket is a contract that says they WILL get us to London. Of course, to GET this information I had to listen to a whole spiel about checked baggage which rather baffled me on account of my not ASKING about baggage.
Other than the connection confusion, the trip's been decent. Though we were on an older train overnight where apparently the lights don't turn down as far as they do in the newer cars, so that made sleeping a challenge. At least the older cars have the nice footrests that I can curl my legs up on. Less convenient storage, but you can't win them all.
Hmm, apparently we're thirty minutes behind schedule on this train. Of course, I'm not sure what on schedule would have been...
Picking up baggage is going to be interesting seeing as the entire student body of UWO is going to be coming in tonight. Then I have to stop by the lab to get my samples to get on ANOTHER train tomorrow.
