Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring standard carry-on items and small suitcases on commuter and regional trains. There is no formal checked-luggage service on commuter services; larger items should be manageable by the passenger and stored safely in designated areas.

Special Items

For bicycles, sports equipment, or musical instruments, check service rules in advance. Space is limited on commuter trains, and some regional services require advance notice or specific carriage allocation for bulky items.
