Practical Information for THSR Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on THSR and regional trains. Carry-on and larger items are allowed with limits and storage options differing between services. Below are key points to know when bringing luggage aboard THSR and regional services:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring carry-on items and larger suitcases. For THSR, there is no strict checked baggage system but oversized items should be manageable by the passenger; regional trains have similar practical limits. Keep valuables with you and ensure total dimensions comply with onboard storage spaces.

Storage Facilities

THSR trains provide overhead racks and some space at the car ends for larger suitcases. Regional trains offer overhead bins and luggage areas near doorways. Use secure placement to avoid blocking aisles or doors during boarding and disembarkation.

Special Items

For bicycles, musical instruments, or bulky sports equipment, check operator rules in advance. Some services require advance notice or have limited space for special items; arriving early increases the chance to store such items appropriately.
