What should a passenger do if he is left behind by the train? What do you have the right to on the train: where to smoke, when to hand over your laundry, etc. The train stops for 5 hours, what to do

According to the rules - on platforms You can smoke if the station building is at least 15 meters away.

“The ban on the consumption of tobacco products does not apply to platforms and platforms serving as train stops. long distance for boarding and disembarking passengers and equipment railway cars, with the exception of places located at a distance of less than fifteen meters from the entrances to the premises railway stations» , says the commentary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Federal Law of February 23, 2013 N 15-FZ (as amended on December 31, 2014) “On protecting the health of citizens from the effects of environmental tobacco smoke and the consequences of tobacco consumption.” The text of the law can be viewed, about trains - Article 12.

Smoking is not allowed anywhere inside the long-distance train.

In practice, they smoke on the platform. While the train is moving - at inter-car joints (in new trains, for example "Strizhe", this will not work). This is illegal, and the conductor has the right to call the police accompanying the train; you will be fined. More often - they will offer to buy lottery ticket for 100 rubles, which will serve as some guarantee that you will not be noticed with a cigarette. Warning: decide to do this at your own peril and risk, this is a direct violation of the law. We are not responsible for this.

Can you drink beer on the train?

No. And the sale of beer by the conductor is also prohibited. In the dining car - yes. (Link to law)

At the same time, no one can control what you do in your compartment behind closed doors. Lock the door, put away bottles when the conductor, inspectors or customs officers enter, and do not disturb other passengers in the same compartment. Disclaimer: We are not responsible for the consequences if you choose to do so.

The peace of mind of other passengers is most important. If you bought the entire compartment or you are traveling with friends who are happy with the use alcoholic drinks, the compartment is not considered a public place. In a number of comments to Art. 25 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation on the inviolability of the home, a separate compartment is equated to it. In any other case, the compartment is a public place and you cannot drink in it. And if your neighbors are not happy with drinking alcohol in your compartment, they have every right to complain about the violation public order, and then the situation falls under the Code of Administrative Offences.

If a drunk passenger causes inconvenience to others and behaves aggressively, other passengers have the right, through the conductor, to call the police from the nearest station (sometimes security officers accompany the train itself). The offender will spend the next hours or days at the police station.

Should the conductor lay down the linen?

In compartment cars, SV and soft carriages The top shelves are always covered immediately. But if you are traveling not from the initial station, but from an intermediate station, and another passenger occupied the berth in front of you, the conductor may not have time to rearrange the linen during the stop. If he doesn't do it later, remind him.
In carriages of any category, elderly people, disabled people, children, pregnant women and sick passengers can ask the conductor to make bed linen. It's free and included in job responsibilities conductor (he has it in the instructions).
In branded trains (in carriages of all categories), the bedding on the upper bunks is also covered by the conductors before the train arrives for boarding.

In other cases, the guide is not required to make the bed.

When should you drop off your laundry?

You are not required to collect and return laundry. Strictly speaking, this is the responsibility of the conductor (according to his job description):

“On the route of a passenger train, the conductor is obliged... to remove bedding after passengers disembark; in exceptional cases, with the consent of passengers, it is allowed to remove bedding no earlier than 30 minutes before passengers arrive at the railway station for disembarkation.”

However, in reality, it is not easy for a conductor to collect bed linen from 54 places (in reserved seat carriage) and quickly pass it service departments at the arrival station, so the conductors ask passengers to hand over their laundry themselves.

What to do if you have passed your station?

According to the rules, the conductor is obliged to warn you that you are approaching your station no later than 30 minutes before arrival. If you didn’t get off at your station because there was no conductor at all, the door wasn’t opened for you, they didn’t wake you up, etc., start a scandal. Find the conductor or the head of the train. Find out more about what you can do.

If you were warned, but you fell asleep again or for some other reason you missed the station, you will have to get off at the next one and look for ways to return.

What should you do if you are kicked off the train because there is no electronic check-in?

Before you go, look at your e-ticket. If you have passed, to board the train you need a printout of the electronic ticket and the document for which it was purchased. You can print it on a regular printer on A4 sheet, or you can display the electronic ticket on the screen of your mobile device. If there is no ER, you must have a ticket with you on a standard Russian Railways form. You won't be allowed on the train without it.

It’s extremely rare, but there are overlaps. If it turns out that you are already on the train, but you are disembarked due to the lack of ER, you need to do the following:

Look at the schedule for the nearest stop with a normal station (not just an open platform) lasting at least 15 minutes. The schedule hangs on the door of the conductor's compartment, you can also look it up on the Internet.
At this stop, get off and (or at the ticket office if the lines are short). You need to know the electronic ticket number (written on top of it) and have with you the document for which the ticket was purchased. Even though the trip has already begun, the ticketing system allows this.

Why do they check tickets again after the train departs?

According to the rules for transporting passengers, you must present a ticket when boarding the train. The conductor checks it and your documents and lets you into the carriage.

But according to the same rules, at any time before the train departs, you have the right to change your mind and leave. And hand over the ticket to the box office. That is why, when boarding, the control ticket or stub is not torn off from it.

Once the train has started, the trip is considered to have begun. And then the conductor walks through the carriage, collects tickets, and processes them. By the way, the ticket must be returned to you before the end of the trip (usually returned before arriving at your station).

How much do tea and other goods on the train actually cost?

It depends on the brand of the train and the type of tea. It is important to know this: on the door of the conductor’s compartment there is most often a menu with prices indicated. The menu can be visible and with pictures, or it can be an inconspicuous sign in small print hanging near the titanium. Look how much that bottle of water you buy costs. Unfortunately, guides do not always tell you the correct price.

All goods that you buy from the conductor must have a JSC FPK sticker, even tea bags and chips. If there is no sticker, this is a personal bonus for the conductor. If they pour granulated sugar on you, and don’t give you sugar in a branded bag, then too.

Boiling water, dishes (glass, spoon), soap and toilet paper in the toilet, and a first aid kit are provided by the conductor free of charge.

Who can put luggage in the locker under the bottom bunk?

Pre-emption right for the use of lower seating space on long-distance trains hand luggage has a passenger traveling on the bottom bunk, and an upper seat has a passenger traveling on the top bunk.

Rules for the carriage of passengers, luggage, cargo luggage by rail(approved by order of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation dated December 19, 2013 No. 473), article 112.

So, the classic situation is that you are behind the train. In general, in this case it is not so important why it happened. There can be many reasons: from changes in the schedule to banal lateness. It is much more important what to do in such a situation.

Briefly about the main thing

You are at an intermediate station.
Things were left on the train.
Perhaps there were also documents, tickets and most of money.

The situation is not the most pleasant, but far from critical. Every year, dozens or even hundreds of passengers go out to the station to get some fresh air or buy something, and when they return they do not find the train they arrived on. Therefore, Russian Railways has its own proven method of action in this regard.

Instructions: what to do if you are behind?

Check what you have with you. The ideal option is if, when leaving the carriage, you took with you not only money for chocolate or cigarettes, but also documents with a ticket. Then you won't have any special problems. Unless you arrive at your destination later. However, if you don’t have a ticket, there will still be no problems, but the journey may take longer.
After reconnaissance, go to the head of the station/station. He is obliged to send a message to the next station so that yours are removed from the train.

By the way, the head of the station or terminal will most likely send a message to the station where your train will stop for more than 10 minutes. This is necessary to ensure that employees have enough time.

Next, you board any train moving towards the station from the previous point. Your things will already be waiting for you at the lost and found office. You will be asked to name any special features of your luggage. Issuing a stopover ticket is free.
At the station, after picking up your things, you can board any train with the same number and continue further along the route. Your ticket will still be valid in this situation.

Conclusion: all of the above operations (except for buying chocolate) are free. The main thing in such a situation is not to delay contacting the station manager, and then everything will be done for you.

As we just found out, nothing bad will happen if a passenger falls behind the train. However, it is better to avoid this and try to reduce the number of problems to a minimum. To do this you need to follow five simple rules.

Find out the duration of the stop before getting off the train. This information can be found in each carriage in the train schedule.
Take your passport, ticket and money with you when leaving the train. This way, you will not only be able to provide all the necessary information to the train manager if you are late, but also protect yourself from theft.
Arrive at the station early so as not to be late for the train. Still, no one is safe from it. And if you still don’t board the carriage, you can always return your ticket to the ticket office. The amount of money refunded depends on when exactly you decide to cancel your trip.
Do not get off the train at stations with a stop time of less than 10 minutes. Only a stop of 15 minutes or more is enough to make all the necessary purchases, smoke or get some air before returning to the carriage.
As a last resort, you can catch up with your train. To do this, choose any other comfortable view transport (car, for example) and go to the next station. There you can take the train without any problems. True, in this case you will have to spend money on catching up transport.

It would seem that what could be difficult when traveling by train. You sit down and drive calmly. But, unfortunately, from time to time I notice that many people often do not know their rights and opportunities, and because of this they have inconvenience when traveling. On the other hand, having worked as a conductor for some time, I had the opportunity to look at passengers from the outside, and I understand that people do some things contrary to logic.

If necessary, read about the Russian Railways train, as well as about what you can save on and. And today we’ll talk about little tricks that, unfortunately, not everyone knows about.

11 little tricks when traveling on a Russian Railways train

1. Refund of train ticket

Purchased train tickets can be returned, this is no secret. At the same time, if you check it out earlier than 8 hours before the train departs, you will only lose the change fee (until the end of 2017 - 192.7 rubles). The later you return your ticket, the less money you will get back.

But what's interesting is that even if you missed the train, you can still return your tickets. It's possible no later than 12 hours after the train departs. The money you will get back is small, but it’s still better than zero. It may be more profitable for you to reissue a ticket for the next train (of course, you will also lose some money).

Learn more about returning train tickets to. Learn more about how much you lose if you return your train ticket.

2. Free toilet at the station

All stations have toilets. The price is written there at the entrance. But if you decide to visit it no more than two hours before the departure of your train, then you must be admitted for free. Show your ticket at the entrance and go through. It can be useful, especially considering the fact that after departure the toilets in many carriages do not open immediately.

3. For those who like to rush in at the last moment

If you made it to the train in the last minutes before departure, then you don’t have to try to get into your carriage. According to the instructions, if there are no more than 5 minutes left before the train departs, then you must be seated in any carriage on your train. True, this is provided that your ticket is printed on a double-layer orange ASU Express form at the ticket office or on a single-layer one at the terminal (by the way, a ticket with electronic registration You can also print it in the terminal).

With paper printouts electronic tickets theoretically there could be problems, but there shouldn't be. The guides are now looking not at them, but at their lists. It rarely happens that they do not have lists. Usually then they plant according to the printout.

Pay special attention to this rule if you board the train at stations where the stop time is 1-2 minutes. More than once I have seen a picture of some plump woman in a hurry, running to her carriage at such a station, not making it in time, and starting to scold the trains, the conductors and everything in the world. Although in fact it was her own fault for not getting into the first carriage she came across. At such a station, I would definitely take care of getting a ticket on an orange form in advance, just in case.

In general, it’s better not to be late! Remember that no one will seat you while you are moving, even if the speed of the train is still very low: the conductor may be fined or fired for this.

4. Dry toilets in adjacent carriages.

If you board the train and find that the toilets in your carriage are of the old type and are closed at the stations, do not be upset. Perhaps you will find a dry closet in the next carriage.

In accordance with sanitary standards, Russian Railways already purchases only cars with dry closets. Old carriages appear less and less often, but they still run. Nowadays you can often find a situation where both old and new cars are coupled together in the same train (the irony is that the price will be the same for them). If you are unlucky enough to get into the old one, and there is an urgent need to visit the toilet while parked, try to bypass a couple of neighboring cars. You may find a composting toilet that will solve your problem.

5. Never use a regular toilet at stations!

If you still have an old-style toilet in your carriage, with a flush to the track, then please do not use it during stops! Really, no need!

This rule was not invented just like that. It happens that the conductor did not have time or forgot to close the toilet in front of the station. In addition, at each station where the stop is 1-2 minutes, you also don’t have to run around to close these doors. For these cases, there is personal responsibility of the passenger!

At the same time, people go to the station and fitters work. They won’t be very pleased if, excuse me, “the contents of the toilet” pour on their heads. The conductor may be fined for this.

Even if it seems to you that the train has stopped in a field, there is no need to use the toilet. Perhaps this is such a station)

If you went to the toilet while still on the move, and the train suddenly arrived somewhere and stopped, then just don’t flush until the train moves on. Seriously, it would be better this way.

6. Drinking water in the carriage

You can collect water for tea in titanium; this, of course, is nothing new. At the same time, if you suddenly see that the temperature is far from 100 degrees, then remember that you may still be able to brew tea. I have experimentally found that a tea bag is brewed at a temperature of 70 degrees. It doesn't work any lower.

On the other hand, if the water temperature is very low (this happens, for example, early in the morning or immediately after departure, if the conductor forgot/did not have time to turn on the titanium), then do not be afraid that the water is not boiled. Titanium is designed in such a way that raw water cannot flow from the tap. If the temperature is low, it means it once boiled and then simply cooled down.

There is also cold water opposite the titanium, next to the service compartment. It is also boiled there and comes from titanium. But the problem is that the pipes through which it goes may be old, and it’s not a fact that it will arrive good quality. Personally, I don't drink this water.

7. How to pour boiling water correctly

When pouring boiling water into a glass, always keep the spoon in the glass and the glass itself in the glass holder. This will reduce the likelihood that the glass will break due to hot water. This happens rarely, but the possibility exists.

In addition, there is a rule in the instructions for guides, which I think will be useful for all people - if you need to carry two cup holders, then you should do it with one hand. The second hand should be free. This is in case the train suddenly brakes or turns, so that you can grab the handrail with your free hand and not scald anyone. Yes, and no more than two cup holders at a time.

8. Glass with spoon

If you have your own tea or just want water, you don’t have to buy tea from the guide. The conductor can provide a glass in a cup holder and a spoon for free. The key word is “may”. Previously, I wrote that he was obliged to do this (it was so), but it was clarified in the comments, and I checked - according to the new rules, a glass and spoon are provided if you buy tea. But the important point is that the conductors themselves do not always know about this. I interviewed several people, they were very surprised, because they, like me, were sure that everything was free. So you can ask, but whether they give it or not, it depends on your luck.

In addition, not always, but it happens that there are knives and forks in the carriages. Certainly free, but even less often there are chess. There should also be a first aid kit, although now they don’t put anything sensible in it. And also, if necessary, the train director can call doctors to see a patient while stopping at a large station.

9. Return things to where they came from.

If suddenly, you took a glass with a glass holder (spoon, fork or whatever) from the conductor and went with it to the next carriage to visit friends, then be sure to return the property exactly where you took it. If you think that you can return it in any carriage and it will return where it should be, then you are mistaken. Each conductor is responsible for the property of his own carriage and is accountable for it. Yes, perhaps he will find out from the conductor of the next carriage that he has extra items. But this will not always be revealed. What can we say about the cars located far from each other. And if there is a shortage, the conductor will have to cover the cost from his own pocket. The spoon is inexpensive, but the glass holder is already noticeable. So don't neglect this rule!

10. Complaint book on the train

I have already mentioned that, if necessary, you can ask the conductor for a complaint book. There is a book of reviews and suggestions on every train and it is kept in the staff car by the train manager. If for some reason the conductor refuses to provide you with this book, then you can walk to the headquarters car yourself (by the way, don’t forget to write about this fact too). It is located approximately in the middle of the train (ask any conductor where it is). There, contact the train manager directly. In general, you can ask to call the train chief into your carriage to resolve any conflict situations.

When filing a complaint, indicate the date, route, train and carriage number, the conductor's surname, and describe in detail the essence of the problem. Of course, conflict situations are different, and not all of them are worth being recorded in a complaint book. But nevertheless, you need to be aware of this possibility. Conductors are afraid of complaints, because because of them the conductor can be deprived of his bonus, suspended from work for a while, or even fired. Consequently, having received a complaint once for not providing a free glass with a cup holder, the next time he will be discouraged from breaking the rules.

It often happens that a passenger unreasonably demands certain things. But then the train manager will point this out to you.

In addition, you can write gratitude to the conductor in the guest book. If you liked the service, do not hesitate to ask the conductor to bring a book. They will bring it to you right away, of course)

11. Don’t fold your laundry before checking it out!

Last but important rule: never fold bed linen, before you submit it! Seriously, never, ever fold!

Some people think that if they fold their laundry in a beautiful pile, it will be more pleasant for the conductor, or that it is more convenient, more decent, etc. In fact, on the contrary, it’s more inconvenient and unpleasant!

What should or should not the conductor of Russian Railways or other passenger carrier companies do along the train route? There are strict instructions for this, excerpts from which we offer you. Study carefully the duties of the conductor so that your train is not marred by unusual situations.

During the route of a passenger train, the conductor is obliged to:

attach a sign to the door of the service compartment with the last name, first name and patronymic of the conductor on duty;
maintain constant cleanliness and comfortable air temperature in the passenger compartment of the carriage in accordance with the Sanitary Rules for the maintenance of passenger carriages along the route;
monitor the condition of internal equipment and the correct position of inter-car transition areas;
carry out wet cleaning in the passenger carriage at least twice a day, and in the toilets as necessary, but at least four times a day with mandatory washing of the floors in accordance with the Sanitary Rules for the maintenance of passenger carriages along the route;
wash floors in cars with electric heating only after turning off the heating stoves; in cars with combined heating, it is allowed to wash the floors, except for the floors of the boiler room, without turning off the heating elements of the heating boilers;
at least three times a day from 8 to 10, from 15 to 17 and from 20 to 22 local time, provide passengers with tea, coffee, confectionery, and in branded trains and SV cars of all categories - at the request of passengers at any time of the day ; when serving passengers, the conductor must wear a white jacket or white apron;
maintain the presence of hot water in the boiler and cooled water in the water cooler;
in carriages with sleeping berths, provide passengers with bedding sets; at the request of passengers and if possible, replace bed linen along the route for an additional fee; deliver bed linen to passengers' seats, as well as make the beds of the disabled, the sick, and passengers with young children;
remove bedding after passengers disembark; in exceptional cases, with the consent of passengers, it is allowed to remove bedding no earlier than 30 minutes before passengers arrive at the railway station for disembarkation;
keep records of bed linen consumption on forms LU-72 or INU-4 and the availability of free and vacated places on form LU-73;
when accepting and handing over a shift, check the presence of travel documents (tickets) in the folder, their correspondence to the seats occupied by passengers, the consumption of bed linen, and make the appropriate notes on forms LU-72 or INU-4 and LU-73;
provide passengers with first aid;
in the absence of centralized electric heating when using solid fuel, maintain the temperature in the passenger room of the car in accordance with clause 2.8 of these Instructions;
If the radio installation fails, announce the names to passengers during the daytime stopping points, report the boundaries of sanitary zones and the duration of passenger train stops;
inform passengers about the rules of customs and border control;
ensure that windows, if necessary, open only from the corridor side, and on double-track sections - only from the field side; when the air conditioner is running, keep all windows closed;
strictly comply with the requirements for sanitary zones, closing toilets when passing through them.

Cleaning trash containers

Garbage in the carriage must be collected in a special container and then burned in the car's boiler furnace or removed from the carriage to designated places at railway stations; Throwing garbage and ash on the tracks, on the floor of the vestibule, and transition areas is prohibited.

Bed dress

In the event of loss, damage or contamination of bedding, as well as damage to inventory or equipment of the carriage due to the fault of the passenger, the conductor must report this to the head of the passenger train, who will recover the cost of the damaged or lost property according to the price list with issuing a receipt to the passenger for payment of the GU-form. 57.

Car doors must be closed while moving

During the movement of a passenger train, the end doors of the vestibules at the ends of the train must be closed with internal locks ("secrets") and with a lock with a special key. In other cars, the end vestibule doors are not locked. The side vestibule doors of a non-working vestibule are locked with a “secret” lock accessible only from inside the carriage, a lock with a special key and a lock with a triangular key. The side doors of the working vestibule are locked with a lock accessible only from inside the car ("secret") and a lock with a triangular key

Arrival, parking and departure of the train

30 minutes before arrival at the railway station where passengers are disembarked, the conductor is obliged to warn passengers about this.

After the passenger train came to a complete stop at railway station The conductor must open the side door of the working vestibule from the side of the boarding platform, if there is no high platform, raise and fix the folding platform (apron), wipe the handrails, and begin disembarking and boarding passengers. When a passenger train is parked less than 5 min and there is no boarding or disembarking of passengers, the conductor must open the door and, while in the vestibule, recommend that passengers not leave the carriage; When a passenger train departs, the conductor must close and lock the door; the conductors of the tail and headquarters cars accompany the railway station to the end of the railway boarding platform, after which they also lock the vestibule doors.

When the train is parked at the station more than 10 minutes conductor passenger carriage is obliged to inspect the undercar equipment, the brake lever transmission and, if necessary, in the winter season, remove ice that interferes with the normal operation of the brake lever transmission, as well as clean the battery deflectors from ice and snow.

Conductors of passenger trains standing at stations, before passing along the adjacent track of a high-speed passenger train, are obliged to close the doors of the cars on this side and warn passengers about the passage of such a train.

If it is necessary to pass through the vestibule passengers of other passenger trains located on adjacent tracks to the passenger building (station) of the railway station, the conductor must open both side doors of the working vestibule, raise the folding platforms ("aprons") and monitor the passage of passengers.

Travel documents (tickets)

At linear railway stations, the conductor must board passengers with travel documents (tickets) on a given passenger train, regardless of which passenger cars the travel documents (tickets) were issued for; Passengers should not be allowed to board or disembark while the train is moving.

When receiving travel documents (tickets) from passengers after boarding the carriage, the conductor must redeem them by tearing the ticket, without violating the composter marks. The travel documents of transit passengers who are about to transfer to another passenger train, and passengers who want to make a stop along the route, will not be canceled.

In carriages with sleeping berths, travel documents (tickets) must be kept in a special folder with the conductor until the end of the trip on this train, who is responsible for their safety.

The conductor returns travel documents (tickets) to transit passengers 30 minutes before the passenger train arrives at the transfer point.

Service railway travel documents of all forms are not canceled and are kept by passengers.

It is prohibited to issue used travel documents (tickets) to persons who have not made a trip using them.

If a travel document (ticket) accepted from a passenger is lost, the conductor must draw up a report, which is signed by the head of the passenger train and the passenger. The act is certified by the stamp of the railway station where the passenger train has a stop. The railway station issues a new travel document (ticket) to the passenger’s final destination with a mark on the back of this travel document (ticket) “In replacement of the lost one.” The travel document (ticket) is issued by the head of the passenger train or the conductor at the ticket office of the railway station without the participation of the passenger.

If a passenger falls behind the train...

If the conductor discovers that a passenger of the carriage he serves has fallen behind the passenger train, he must inform the train manager about this and draw up a report indicating the name and number of pieces of hand luggage left behind. The act is signed by the head of the passenger train, the conductor and two passengers.

Changing the route along the way

Upon receipt of information about a change in the train route, the conductor notifies passengers about the procedure for following the new route. If there is no radio communication on the train, the assistant locomotive driver transmits information to the conductor of the lead car, who then transmits information to the other conductors and the head of the passenger train.

When uncoupling a faulty passenger car, the conductor must inform passengers about their upcoming placement in other cars of the passenger train.

Have a nice trip and polite guides!

Do you remember one of the scary dreams that occasionally creeps into dreams? You got out at the station, all your things, money, documents remained in the compartment, you were wearing only a T-shirt and shorts, and before you had time to look back, the train was rapidly and irrevocably going into the distance, and there was no way to catch up with it... Yes, goosebumps! What if such a situation arose in real life? This happens from time to time when a passenger falls behind a long-distance train, much like the one described above. What do you need to know and what actions to take so that such a lag does not turn into a disaster? We are studying the rules of conduct for passengers on the railway in such a situation.

It is best to avoid the position of a passenger lagging behind the train altogether. It’s understandable that if a trip by rail lasts more than a day, you want to get out to get some fresh air, stretch your legs and buy a couple of pies or other roadside products. To implement this idea, always pay attention to the passenger train schedule, which hangs in each carriage. In addition to the specified stop time, check the number of minutes with the conductor, because it happens that the train is behind schedule and therefore reduces the stop time. When exiting, do not move far from your carriage; the schedule does not include waiting for a passenger who has been on a spree. If you cross parallel tracks to the seemingly nearest store, another train may pass at that time and block the road, and you will need to run around this train, and the length of freight trains can be over 60 cars, so the road to your seat may take a while.

When leaving the carriage, be sure to take a bag with documents and money with you, and do not leave anything valuable in the compartment. This way, you will find yourself with your main things, even if the train disappears over the horizon, and at the same time protect yourself from a possible attack on your wallet while you are away from the carriage.

If, however, there is a lag behind the passenger train, and you are left on the platform with documents, but without luggage, immediately contact the head of the station or station where you are stuck. Show him your passenger ticket and passport. He is obliged to notify the head of the next station in the direction of the train, where the train stops for at least 10 minutes, to unload your luggage. Next, there are two possible options. Or they will issue you a free ticket to get to the station where your luggage was removed and get your things by showing your passport. Or take a taxi or a private cab driver and catch up with the train, if the terrain, the availability of a highway and the price of travel allow it. If you catch up with the train, you can simply return to your passenger seat and continue on your way. If not, then you will have to wait for the next passage moving the same route, that is, having the same numbering (the route must be exactly the same, not a single extra or missed stop), when boarding it, the validity of your ticket is renewed. The head of the train is informed that there is a passenger lagging behind from a similar train, and he selects a place where he can be assigned to stay.

No matter how prudent the rules on railways Rossi, you should avoid falling behind the train. You will definitely have a lot of trouble and lose time, money and nerves. You will have to catch up and get your luggage, only you know its full contents and some bag placed on the luggage rack may travel further if the conductors do not pay attention to it. Traveling by car catching up with a train can be very expensive for a taxi driver, since you are in a hopeless situation, and this is your unplanned waste of money. A train with a similar route may travel once a day or, for example, once every three days, which means that you will have to wait for it at the baggage claim station, and you will also be late at your final destination. Even if you safely board the next train, your seat will most likely be occupied by another passenger, so the train captain will look for a free shelf, and it may turn out to be a side seat in a reserved seat instead of a compartment with increased comfort.

That is why you should be especially vigilant about leaving the passenger carriage while the train stops en route.
