Pack Smart for your Journey
Luggage storage space can be limited onboard, especially on busier services. That's why we ask our customers to bring no more than 1 large suitcase, 1 carry on bag and 1 small personal item. Not only does this optimise onboard storage space, it also reduces the risk of accidents and injury with heavy luggage.
Make use of the luggage racks, deep overhead racks and under seat storage in each carriage. Remember that luggage should not block any doorways, aisles, reserved seats or wheelchair user spaces.
