Travelling with luggage

Everything you need to know about luggage policies on our trains, including dimensions, weight, and luggage services.

Luggage allowance

There’s no weight limit on your luggage, meaning you can bring every little essential with you. All we ask is that you’re able to transport your bags safely on and off the train and that they’re stored out of harm’s way in our dedicated areas. And don’t forget to label your luggage clearly, too.

On our trains, each piece of luggage can be up to 85cm long on our routes to and from London, or 75cm on all other routes. ‘Hand luggage’ refers to items such as backpacks, handbags, briefcases and laptop bags.

Travelling with extra luggage?

Sometimes, life can throw a little excess baggage in your direction. If you would like to travel with your bike, excess luggage or oversized items, you must book a dedicated space in advance. Our Registered Luggage Service is currently limited to selected trains between London and Paris, as well as London and Brussels.

Each item must weigh 30kg or less. Please note, the guide prices below are for a one-way journey from London to Paris, and requested more than 48 hours before departure. Items exceeding the stated maximum dimensions may incur extra charges at the station.

You can log in to Manage your booking and go to request extra luggage to check if the service is available on the trains you've booked.
