Practical Information for CRH Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on CRH Trains. Rules cover carry-on items and larger bags. Below are key points to know when bringing luggage aboard CRH and conventional services:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring standard carry-on items and larger suitcases. Items should fit in overhead racks or designated luggage areas; large pieces may be moved to luggage racks at the car end. Follow local operator rules for size and weight limits.

Storage Facilities

CRH trains provide overhead racks and luggage compartments at the carriage ends. Larger items should be placed in the dedicated storage areas to avoid blocking aisles. Keep valuables with you at all times.

Special Items

For bicycles, musical instruments, or oversized items, check operator rules before travel. Space is limited and advance notice or special handling may be required at the station.
