All aboard! VIA Rail has announced their Discount Tuesday is back. This means select tickets on a bunch of their train routes will be up for grabs at a cheaper price. But, it will only be for a limited time.

On select days in May, VIA Rail is providing up to 20% off Escape fare tickets on their Corridor train.

The Corridor starts in Windsor, goes up through London, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and ends in Quebec City, stopping along the way in a bunch of smaller towns.

The discounted days are from May 10 to May 16, with the Friday and the Sunday of that week being the only days with no discount option.

That means you can get a train ticket from Toronto to Montreal for as low as $58, or you can take the trip from end to end for $158.

But the corridor isn't the only route with deals.

Other discounted routes include the world famous Canadian, which runs from Vancouver to Toronto, The Ocean which runs from Montreal to Halifax, as well as other regional trains operated by VIA Rail.

If you're looking to take a trip between the days of May 10 and June 6 of this year on any of those routes, you can get a 10% discount on your tickets. Given how beautiful a lot of the journeys look, anything to make 'em cheaper is welcome!

To take advantage of the discount, make sure you use their promotional code TUESDAY when searching for your ticket.

But, with anything, there is a catch. This deal will only last until midnight eastern time on Tuesday May 3, so you better act fast.

So hop aboard and start planning your May or June trips!

Before you get going, check out our Responsible Travel Guide so you can be informed, be safe, be smart, and most of all, be respectful on your adventure.
