Me again !

Is it possible to get to Lloydminster via train/bus if I get off the train in Saskatoon and rejoin the railway on another train at Edmonton ?   Hwy 16 seems to go from Sask to Edm.

Hi Lydart
Yes it is
Its about 3 hrs from Saskatoon to Lloydminster and about the same from Lloydminster to Edmonton.
Here's the Lloyd/Edmonton sched for today

You need the Greyhound bus. When you get off the train in Saskatoon you'll have to get a cab into the city for the bus depot as the train station is on the outskirts. If you have a lot of wait time in Saskatoon it would be really worthwhile to visit the Western Development Museum to see how your ancestors may have lived

For those of you who haven't been on the thread yet, Dollylee has a Canadian Rootschatters posting, so am cheating rather than figuring out who has already been on the thread...
But don't take too huge a shortcut,...read through some or all of the postings as we've introduced ourselves & such!
