Waiting to buy tickets locally might result in your traine being unavailable. Kindly note, that if you decide to purchase your own tickets locally, you will be required to show your passport.

1st class compartment with two berths. In 80% of trains both are lower berths, the remainder will be 1 X lower and 1 X upper berths.
Some 1st class compartments offer a sink and/or TV, however this is subject to confirmation only upon purchase of the ticket and depends on the train requested.
