[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We spent ten days in England last year with two carry on suitcases for three people, using packing cubes (and we had backpacks). We ended up buying a duffel for purchased items, though we could get away with this since we had a third person (our kid) who didn't have a carry on outbound. I will say, we took the train a bit in England and there is not much space for the roll-aboard kind of carry on suitcases we use here in overhead bins on planes...they are too large for the overhead space on the trains. There's a small "luggage area" in the car that fills quickly and if your stuff is at the bottom, people just pile on. If we were doing a lot of train travel I'd do all duffels because they can get shoved overhead.[/quote]

That's surprising - the overhead spaces on long distances trains in Italy, Switzerland and France have been big enough for our carry-on size suitcases. [/quote]

I found the commuter trains in The Netherlands have very small (short/shallow) overhead bins. My backpack might fit if it's not overstuffed and my very small roller wouldn't fit at all. There are sections of the train you can leave your bags. So not all trains and luggage space are equal. I do think long distance trains expect luggage and have space for it. [/quote]
