The coach station and the railway station may be in different parts of the city. Allow time for getting ready, luggage, public transport and any possible delays to your first journey.
Start with accurate information
Save the address, your ticket and an offline map. Check the date, time, name of the stop and any current announcements from the transport operator. You can plan your route on RedRay.

Allow plenty of time
Don’t plan for critically short connections. Traffic, border controls, finding the platform or queues can throw a spanner in the works. The guide on preparing for the next stage of your journey provides a useful reference.
Belongings and safety
Keep your documents, mobile phone, charger, water and any essential medication with you. Label large items, and check the rules on non-standard luggage before you set off.
Final checks
The day before, check official sources, the weather and public transport. Also read up on how to check the latest timetable.
