Helpful Hints:

• When buying tickets, buy the cheapest ticket price for your train and the desired class you want. There is no difference in the seats when you buy the more expensive seat instead of the cheaper seat in your desired class. It is all the same class and it is a ticketing ploy by the rail company.
• You must use an orange boarding ticket to be able to get through the train platform turnstiles. If your ticket was bought online from Tiket.com, you will receive a QR code or barcode in order to retrieve your official orange boarding ticket from a self serve check-in kiosk at your departure train station. If there is no kiosk, see an attendant in the ticketing office and they will issue a blue boarding ticket or scan your barcode.
