    Luggage rules on VR commuter trains.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    VR's luggage page says that the following can be taken on commuter trains free of charge: prams and pushchairs in the vestibules, bikes and folding bikes in the designated spaces, and skis and snowboards. Conductors help with luggage questions on the platform and on the train. Long-distance trains have their own luggage rules, and a bike can be added to a long-distance booking as an extra service.

    If you are unsure where to put a large item, ask the conductor on the platform before boarding.
