Is there a family compartment on VR InterCity trains?
Travelling by train with small children.
Short answer
VR says you can book a 4-person family compartment on an InterCity train, with room to play, read and have snacks together. The compartment has four seats and two stools for children, and there is a play area nearby. The price depends on the route, date and time, the number of passengers and how early you buy. VR also says it does not sell individual compartment seats until further notice, so you book the whole compartment. Cancellation insurance bought for a compartment always covers the whole compartment.
Why
- Four seats plus two children's stools.
- Play area nearby.
- You book the whole compartment.
Details
VR says the compartment price depends on route, date, time, passenger count and how early you buy.
Tip
Book early in school holidays, when compartments sell out first.
What may differ
