Verify that your train offers a checked baggage service: a checked baggage service is available at some stations and on a certain number of trains. Before travelling, be sure to confirm that this service is offered on your train. Baggage must be checked at least 45 minutes before departure at terminal stations and 30 minutes at intermediate stations. Also, be sure to confirm at what time the station opens.
