• Check your the seat number and date on your ticket once you receive it. Tickets have the train time and seat / berth number printed on it.
• Arrive early to find your seat and store your bags
• To find the correct train, check the destination and carriage number posted on the side of each carriage.
  ( For First and Second-Class Travel, you will usually have a 'reserved' seat and carriage)
