Weekend morning trains fill with locals and visitors. Be at the station early, confirm your class at the counter, and do not assume a same-morning reserved seat appears by magic.

If the train is packed, the bus stand is the backup — also early. Pick one plan and leave buffer.

Private car is fine if you already have a driver booked. For rail, treat Sunday morning as busy, not empty.
