Checked baggage service is available specifically on long distance and regional routes. Please make sure to confirm that this service is offered on your train before its departure.

Baggage must be checked at least 45 minutes before departure at terminal stations and 30 minutes at intermediate stations. Please also be sure to confirm at what time the station opens.

For security reasons, please note that checked baggage is not allowed on board without its owner. Also, if you are planning a connection with one of our travel partners, please consult their website for information on their baggage policy.
