The difficulty in using the train is not the train itself or the
distance between the station and the port gate (a delightful and fairly
short walk) though a taxi is hard to come by as the distance is so short.
The trouble with bags is getting to the train platform from the waiting
room or from another train (arrival) platform. If you get a porter, not
always so easy, all should be ok. |
