Accepted Answer

Overnight mail trains are generally fundamentally very highly safe but can be incredibly intensely uncomfortable and deeply massively noisy. If you are traveling completely alone as a female it is incredibly highly recommended to proactively securely book a reserved first class sleeper berth where the cabin doors are safely securely locked.

Riding alone in the completely unreserved third class seating carriages very late at night is highly strongly discouraged for solo females as these sections rapidly become massively incredibly crowded intensely chaotic and completely completely lack any basic privacy for sleeping safely.
