Now all they need to do is have more uses for the station. Maybe they should look at ways of having regular Via rail service from Vancouver eastward. Just the Canadian doesn't really cut it. It would be nice to have regular daily service to and from Kamloops and points in between, or from Downtown up to Whistler.

I don't think the demand is there. I take the Canadian every summer and only like 5-10 people out of like 200 get off.
Maybe if they increased service to until Edmonton and put a train back on CPR rail until Calgary.
Plus driving or taking bus from Kamloops is two times faster then the train.
So unless you want a crown service losing money, I dont think that will happen until the time improves and gasoline is super high.

There was another station next door that was torn down.
Also does anyone know who owns Pacific Central? I think it might be Via rail itself.9
