Practical Information for High-Speed Train Travelers

Luggage icon
Luggage Guidelines for high-speed train travel. Below are the main points to know when bringing luggage on high-speed services between Shanghai and Wuxi:
Luggage Allowance
Passengers should keep hand luggage on overhead racks and larger suitcases on dedicated racks. As a general guideline, limit individual pieces to around 160 cm in total dimensions and 25 kg per item where possible; check operator rules for exact limits.
Storage Facilities
High-speed trains have overhead shelves above seats and larger luggage areas near carriage doors. On shorter intercity services, use overhead space for carry-on items and place suitcases in end-of-carriage racks.
Special Items
For bicycles, musical instruments or bulky sports equipment, contact the rail operator in advance. Space for oversized items is limited and may require early boarding or special handling.
