Usually, the luggage allowance is not very strict. You can pay the extra money if the staff of the train station ask for a extra charge. Otherwise, it will be OK.
What happens if the dimensions of luggage exceed the 160cm allowed? Is it possible to get on the train by paying for excess dimensions or weight?
Thank you!
Usually, the regulation is not very strict. I suppose you can get on the train with the luggage. If not, ask for a luggage transfer service with extra charge.
