Arrive early to have enough time to find your platform. Stations usually announce train details 10-20 minutes before its scheduled time.
Can I travel without prior booking? What if I board without a ticket?

If you couldn't book in advance, you can try purchasing a ticket from the ticket office just before the train's departure if seats are available. If you board without a valid ticket, you will be subject to a fine plus the full ticket price at the higher onboard rate.
