Charny Station

This south shore railway station sees four trains daily arriving from Montreal on their way to the downtown Gare du Palais. It is also the starting point for passengers headed east, either to Moncton, Halifax and Atlantic Canada or to the Gaspé peninsula. Shuttle buses depart from the Gare du Palais to meet the 10p eastbound trains and return passengers who arrive at the pleasant hour of 4:45a. You won't find much in the way of services beyond a coffee shop. Access to the station is via the Pierre Laporte Bridge, south from Ste-Foy; allow at least 20 minutes from downtown Quebec.
