Do i have wiggle room to take the 6pm train back to calgary instead of the 4.30 pm train or does it depend on something like seat availability?

most importantly, though, i want to see a realistic cost projection - not the usual one where it starts at $5billion and the bills roll in and it is $13b.

I guess it depends. Do you want to wake up at 5am to take your vehicle out there just so you can get a parking space or would you rather the inconvenience of tacking on some time to duration of the journey there and back?

I think we’re going to get to the point where taking a personal vehicle is going to be more restrictive than taking a train. I don’t think they’re building new parking spots at Johnston Canyon anytime soon.
