Hey there, time traveller!

A one-day rail tour from Winnipeg to Rivers has been scheduled to protest cutbacks to VIA Rail, including a reduced schedule for the Canadian Line.
Rail Travel Tours has organized a six-hour round trip on Aug. 23 “to show people what it is like to have daily passenger service,” said Daryl Adair, company president.
Seats are $50 for children ages two to 11 (infants are free), and $75 for adults, in a seat sale that ends Thursday. The trip includes a sandwich lunch and pizza dinner, plus a tour of Rivers and its history as a Commonwealth Air Training Base in the Second World War.
Tickets are at 1-866-704-3528. There are 30 seats available.
