Practical Information for CRH High-Speed Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on CRH high-speed trains. Below are key points to know when bringing luggage aboard CRH services between Shanghai and Xiangyang:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring carry-on luggage and additional bags. As a guideline, individual items should fit in overhead racks or dedicated luggage spaces; combined dimensions exceeding typical rack sizes may require special handling. Check the operator rules for any strict size or weight limits before travel.

Storage Facilities

CRH trains provide overhead racks and luggage areas at the car ends for larger suitcases. Store smaller items above seats and place larger suitcases in the end-of-car racks to keep aisles clear during the journey.

Special Items

Bulky items such as bicycles, large musical instruments or sports equipment may require advance notice or specific carriage rules. Contact customer support or check carrier guidelines before travel to arrange space for special items.
