When checking the rules, pay attention to the rules for the types of vehicles allowed (weight, size, motor parameters, etc.), whether reservations/extra tickets are required, and whether there are restrictions during peak hours. If you do not get relevant information, check specific train operators for the most accurate and updated information before traveling.
