I can help as far as the Victoria to Comox train is concerned. You want to make reservations at least 1 week ahead, or you pay considerably more. I recently stayed at an RV park in Victoria which had a train stop right on the premises. You can contact this RV park:

and ask them for the details about the train. I don't know where the train station is in Victoria. The RV park was just one of the stops, but the staff knew all about the train.

Click on the picture on the lower right. That's the train stop on the premises of that RV park! So it's a "VIA Rail" train. Check their web site for info.

Thanks for that info. I will pass it onto my parents - anything to stop them driving and keep Canada's road safe!!!!!
