Passenger Trains > Victoria Island Passenger service Question

I am planning on going to Victoria later this week and am not having much success finding inforomation on line about rail service out of Victoria B.C..Anyone have any current information?

The Victoria-Courtenay train makes a 4 1/2 -hour journey north along the Strait of Georgia from Victoria, at the southern tip of Vancouver Island, to Courtenay. You’ll be amazed by the spectacular gorge and forested coastal islands that will appear in your window!
Day trippers and serious backpackers like to hop on and off the train to experience the charm of communities like Qualicum Beach or Chemainus, or strike off into the depths of the rain forest in Pacific Rim National Park and the West Coast Trail.

Train departs Victoria station at 8am - - - a great trip I might add.........

Copy/paste the following for more information

Also one of the few remaining Budd RDC runs!

Great ride.

We took the train north from Victoria, and then took the bus from Nanaimo to Vancouver, via the ferry. It was a few blocks walk when we did it, but the whole thing was dirt cheap.

The bus depot in Vancouver was near Pacific Central station / Skytrain

Near? Or, possibly at?

Going northbound, sit on the right or starboard side for
better views of the coastline...
