Practical Information for ITX Travelers

Luggage icon
Luggage Guidelines on ITX and regional trains. Below are key points to know when bringing luggage aboard intercity and regional services between Cheongju and Seoul:
Luggage Allowance
Passengers may bring carry-on luggage and additional bags. There is no standard checked baggage system on ITX/regional services, so items must be stowed in overhead racks or dedicated luggage areas. Large items should comply with operator size limits and may be subject to space availability.
Storage Facilities
Trains have overhead racks and luggage spaces near carriage ends for suitcases and backpacks. Store smaller items in overhead bins and place larger cases in the designated areas to keep aisles clear during the journey.
Special Items
For bicycles, musical instruments, or oversized sports equipment, check with the rail operator in advance. Space is limited and some items may require prior arrangement or carriage in specific carriages where permitted.
