Title: couchette train Krakow to Prague
Post by: reneemullen on September 21, 2013, 10:36:38 am
How does the 4 person couchette work for the night train from Krakow to Prague? Is there a key like a hotel key card that you use to get in and out of the couchette? Are there little beds like bunk beds? Where does the luggage go?

No, passengers can lock (or block the door) the compartment only from inside, while from outside compartment can be locked only with help of special railway workers key (carriage conductor will have one, but not passengers)
Are there little beds like bunk beds? Where does the luggage go?
Well, compartment from inside will look something like this example (http://www.vagonweb.cz/fotogalerie/foto/200706/IMGP3374.jpg), beds aren't very wide, but still ok for an overnight sleep. Baggage goes either on the floor by the window or on the top baggage shelves
