Practical Information for CRH Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on CRH Trains. Traveling on CRH services includes rules for carry-on and larger items. Below are key points to know when bringing luggage aboard CRH high-speed and conventional trains:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring two pieces of luggage; common guidance is to keep individual items within typical carrier size limits and 20 kg per piece where applicable. Lightweight carry-on bags for personal items are recommended for easy stowage during the journey.

Storage Facilities

CRH trains provide overhead racks above seats and luggage areas near the car ends for large suitcases. Place smaller bags on racks or under seats and move large items to designated storage zones when available.

Special Items

For bulky items such as bicycles, musical instruments, or sports equipment, check operator rules in advance. Space is limited and subject to availability; booking earlier and notifying support increases the chance of arranging space.

Rating

Rail travel on CRH high-speed services links city-center stations and reduces overall travel time compared with long-distance buses. Buses provide direct point-to-point options but have longer journey durations and variable comfort depending on operator. Flights shorten airborne time but require airport transfers and check-in time, which can increase total door-to-door travel time. For many travelers between Shanghai and Pingyuandong, high-speed rail balances travel time and station access.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
