Economy GO is an ideal choice for journeys where a guaranteed seat is not required. For customers who prefer a lower price, we offer a flexible option to travel standing. This option is available on all our long-distance services and is particularly suitable for shorter routes.
- it is possible to purchase a standing ticket for the entire journey. If the connection is sold out, a combination of standing+sitting / sitting+standing is also available. This means that the system assigns you a seat for part of your journey and a standing place for part of it.
- travel is only possible on the Adult and Student 18-25 fares
- a total of four people can travel on each route at any one time
- Economy GO class is only available on long-distance LEx connections and standing time must not exceed 2h 15min
- cancellation conditions and loyalty programme are the same as for Economy Class
- for safety reasons, refreshments cannot be offered on the section of the journey for which the passenger has a standing ticket
What to do after boarding the train?
- For the part of your journey where you do not have a seat assignment (standing ticket), please see the on-board staff who will determine a suitable and safe place for you to travel.
- For the part of the journey for which you have a seat ticket (assigned seat number), please take your seat.
Will I see when I shop when I stand and when I sit?
Yes. When you buy a ticket, you will be shown which sections of the journey have free seating and where you will be standing. This will help you plan your journey better.
Where exactly am I going to stand?
Once you have boarded or completed the part of the route where a seat has been reserved for you, the steward will direct you to the designated standing area in carriage 4.
