A few minutes of preparation can make a long train journey much easier. Instead of packing randomly, use
a repeatable checklist before leaving home.
In This Story
Travel documents
Keep your ticket information, identification and other required documents easily accessible.
Phone and charging
Charge your phone and pack the correct charging cable. Carry a power bank if suitable for your journey.
RailQuick Field Note
Always keep travel chargers and primary medications inside your small personal daypack. In running trains, accessing large suitcases stored under the berth is difficult and disruptive during late night halts.
Personal hygiene
Keep toothbrush, toothpaste, tissues, wipes, sanitiser and other personal-care products in your accessible
bag.
Medicines
Carry regular prescribed medicines in hand luggage and follow professional instructions.
Clothing
For long journeys, pack comfortable clothing and an extra layer if needed.
Children's items
If travelling with children, carry extra diapers, wipes, clothes, feeding supplies and comfort items.
Water and refreshments
Plan your hydration and personal food requirements before boarding.
Entertainment
Download anything you want to read, watch or listen to.
Final five-minute check
Before leaving home, check phone, wallet, identification, ticket, medicines, charger and personal
essentials.
