I am spending a few days in Vancouver, notably a Saturday when the rest of the family are off to watch the Whitecaps. Are there any railway locations worth a visit? Any comments on Skytrain? Any problems taking photographs?

I did Vancouver a couple of years ago.

We stayed near Richmond - the southern end of the "Canada" line on Skytrain.

The service was busy but we managed to get seats at the front watch it from the "driver(less) eye" view. I took video and picture and never had any trouble.

We purchased a day pass from the ticket machine at the station. It allowed unlimited travel on Skytrain and also the seabus to North Vancouver which was well worth a trip to see Vancouver from "over the water"

The Seabus terminal is near the main railway station but there wasn't much activity. A couple of trains were in the platforms but, from the look of them, they were probably there for a long stay.
