My tips on how to get a train seatYour ticket entitles you to a journey and not a seat. If you want a seat, you can check to see if you can reserve one at the time you buy your ticket. This is free of charge. On long distance trains, most of the seats can be reserved.
Arrive at the train station 20 minutes before your train, longer if you want to purchase a snack or bottled water for the ride. Keep a close eye on luggage at all times. Look for large electronic boards with destinations. The tracks are usually not posted until 5 or 10 minutes before train time.
