VIA Rail gives travellers more ways and more reasons to discover the Niagara Region this summer

16 June 2006

With VIA Rail Canada's 2006 summer Niagara train services, visiting any of the region's exciting attractions can be a carefree and comfortable experience. And from May 19 to September 8, on select departures, passengers can enjoy a number of activities offered in Canada's first casino car. This summer, whether your travels take you to "The Falls", the Casino, or any of the region's award-winning wineries, leaving the driving to VIA - just makes perfect cents!


Fallsview Casino Car


--------------------


VIA's luxurious Glenfraser lounge car has been "wrapped" as a Fallsview Casino Resort slot machine. On board the car, passengers are able to relax and enjoy a complimentary Peller Estate wine sampling while they learn to play blackjack from a professional Fallsview Casino Resort dealer. The learn-to- play and wine experience is available on Friday and Saturday departures to Niagara Falls to all adult passengers.


Ontario's Niagara Region is one of the world's fastest growing tourism destinations averaging more than 14 million tourists a year. Along with VIA's regular daily departures, the new services will operate during the busy summer season when highway congestion to and in the region is at its highest, providing travellers with the flexibility of a fun-filled day trip or more relaxing overnight getaway.
