We reserve the right to book in another train than requested with similar departure times on the same day and similar service if the one you requested is unavailable. For example, if you booked one first class night train you might get another first class train for the same night, never a day train nor a second class train.

If you requested private compartment or female only compartment we try to book it but in case it is unavailable we may book in mixed compartment. We try to inform you first but if time is limited (seats are running out) we may decide to book without asking back in other not to make you loose the journey at all. If you paid private compartment and we can get only a mixed one we refund the difference but not the ticket.

Express fee is due to the higher costs of quick money transfer. While we try to deliver express orders within 24h, occasionally it may take up to 48h, especially during weekends and in case of high request. Express tickets with near departure date are processed first.

It is your responsibility to communicate a valid email address and mobile phone number to us. If you do not receive any tickets due to malfunctioning of email please contact us also by phone and/or provide an alternative email. As for the validity of the above terms, we consider tickets delivered once we get clearance from the email server. If the email with the ticket bounces back and cannot be delivered it does not entitle you to ask refund from us.

For international tickets you must communicate the name, the nationality, the passport number and its expiry date for each passenger. It is your responsibility to comunicate the correct data. The tickets will be issued based on the details you transmitted. If the data do not match with the real passports, the tickets are invaild. In this case you are not entitled for refund.
