If you have a reserved second class seat, there are sturdy overhead luggage racks above the seats that easily accommodate large backpacks and medium sized suitcases. However, massive, oversized hard shell suitcases will not fit above your head.
If you bring a giant suitcase, you will have to leave it at the very end of the carriage near the exit doors. You must keep a close eye on it at every station stop to ensure it does not disappear.
If you are travelling in the unreserved third class sections, floor space is incredibly tight. Bringing massive luggage into an overcrowded train will make your journey extremely uncomfortable and frustrate the local commuters.
Scam Watch: ella
People outside stations offer to "help" buy tickets but charge large markups. They may buy cheap third-class tickets and sell as more expensive classes.
