How do I select seat classes?
- High-speed trains (train numbers that start with G/D/C) - 3 seat classes:
i. Business Class - Seats arranged as 1+2 across the car width; comfortable and spacious reclining seats with tables. Complimentary meal or snacks (might vary on each train), beverage, and newspaper
ii. First Class - Seats arranged as 2+2 across the car width; comfortable seats with a foot rest pedal for leg space
iii. Second class - More compact seats arranged as 2+3 across the car width; reasonably comfortable and includes air-conditioning. Suited for travellers on a budget.
- Regular trains (train numbers that start with Z/T/K):
i. Premier Soft Sleeper - 2 bed compartments; equipped with TV, sofa, private bathroom, slippers, washing amenities, and power sockets.
ii. Soft Sleeper - 4 bed compartments; equipped with bed lights. More comfortable and has a bigger bunk compared to Hard sleeper (may need to share the room with other passengers)
iii. Hard Sleeper - Open bunks in bays of 6; bunks and beddings are well-supplied
iv. Hard Sleeper compartment - 4 bunk beds in a room, 2 on each side (may need to share the room with other passengers)
v. Soft Sleeper compartment - 1 double bed plus one single bunk bed; a maximum of 3 passengers can stay in the compartment
vi. Soft Seat and Hard Seat - Similar to First class and Second Class (Hard Seats are still adequately comfortable)
vii. No seat (standing) - Top choice as budget-friendly (not available for all trains)
If you are unable to find certain seats or sleeper class types from our booking list, that means that the train does not offer such choices.
