Luggage

Information on how much luggage you can bring on board.

We have dedicated luggage space available on board and, in response to your feedback, we've increased the amount of luggage space on many of our trains.

In line with the National Rail Conditions of Carriage, and for the benefit of all our customers, some important conditions still apply regarding how much luggage you can bring on CrossCountry trains.

For your own comfort and safety, you are strongly advised not to bring more luggage than you can comfortably carry yourself. Before you travel, make sure you're aware of the restrictions below when packing:

  • Only take a maximum of three items of luggage onto the train*, consisting of the following:
    - Two larger items such as a suitcase or rucksack (dimensions not exceeding 90 x 70 x 30cm or weighing more than 50kg)
    - One smaller item such as a briefcase

When you make your journey, please be aware of the following:

  • Use luggage storage spaces at the end of the carriage, in overhead racks and under seats, making sure doorways, aisles and areas dedicated for wheelchairs are kept clear
  • Keep your luggage with you at all times when at stations to avoid unnecessary security alerts and potential delays to services

Got lots to carry?

If you want to travel in comfort without being weighed down by your luggage; or the items you want to transport don't fit the conditions above, why not try a specialist luggage delivery service? Carrymyluggage.com offers a door-to-door luggage collection and delivery service on weekdays, across the UK and beyond.

Please note:
* If you exceed your luggage entitlement you may be liable for an extra charge - up to half the adult fare for your journey - for extra items exceeding 90 x 70 x 30cm, or which take up seats required by other passengers.
