Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between first and second class travel?

In 1st class there is more space than in 2nd class, both in terms of legroom and storage space for your luggage. The seats are more comfortable and compartments are usually less crowded than in second class. Sometimes drinks or a meal are served in first class, or there are other services like free newspapers or internet connection, especially on fast long-distance trains.

Classes are indicated with large numbers '1' and '2' on the outside of the train as well as inside the departments. Some smaller local commuter trains may not have a class distinction.

If you buy a first class Pass, you can also travel in second class. If you buy second class, you will not be able to travel in first class, unless you buy an upgrade for each travel day.
