Each passenger can take two pieces of luggage up to 25 kg each, plus a small bag or backpack. Like airports, they scan luggage at the train station before going to the platforms.

One final tip: Get to the station at least 30 minutes before departure and immediately check the departure board. It will say if the train is delayed for any reason.
