Who it's for
This service is designed for anyone who finds themselves burdened by heavy gear. It is particularly useful for people traveling with large equipment that makes navigating a train journey difficult on their own.
What you get
The service provides station-to-station transport for your large items. For example, if you are traveling with large musical instruments, this scheme allows you to send them ahead to your destination station so you can travel more comfortably.
What it costs you
