Train travel is cheap, but first you must book your compartment early so your bunk is on a lower
level. Some stations have only stairs, no escalators, so avoid heavey luggage. The toilets are an
abomination, bring a small spray of perfume. Look for Red Caps if your luggage is heavey. Beware
of individuals who offer to take you some place at a cheaper rate. Use only City Taxi Cabs.
Trains that travel over 600 miles leave in the evening, and you arrive in the morning. As soon as I get
on the train, I stow my luggage under my bunk and go to bed. If you don't, the people in the upper
bunks will use your bed to sit on. You don't want that.
There are places you can buy train tickets to avoid the lines and confusion at the Station Ticket windows.
You must inquire about that. This will also insure you a lower bunk.
