On long-distance day trains, sleeper compartments convert into day sitter cabins with three seats. These cabins offer more privacy, legroom, storage, and individual reading lights. Seats in day sitter cabins do not recline or rotate. You may be seated facing away from the direction of travel. 

Note: Children aged 12 and over travelling alone cannot be booked in a day sitter cabin.

Sleeper compartments 

Sleeper compartments are available on long-distance overnight trains. Each compartment has two berths and shares a toilet and shower with the adjacent compartment. 

Bed linen, towels, toiletries, and a complimentary breakfast are provided when you book a sleeping berth.
