Going on a trip, a business trip, or just briefly to relatives, most people prefer to travel by train, as it is relatively inexpensive and convenient. On trains you can always buy something to eat or drink, get bedding, if you plan to spend the night, and even buy all kinds of trinkets and magazines. In general, what you will not find in this transport! But be that as it may, in the cars there is far from everything that can be useful on the road, so you need to clearly know what to take with you on the train in order to feel comfortable and confident on the way.
Personal hygiene products
A train, even with all its advantages in comparison with other means of transportation, is still a public transport where no one is safe from germs, and therefore it is clear that you need to take some personal hygiene products with you on a train:
- Firstly, it is worth stocking up a roll of your toilet paper. Of course, in the toilet most often it is, but there are a lot of people on the train, so it can simply end.
- Secondly, it would be nice to take your soap on the road. Mainly for the same reason as toilet paper, but also because you need to wash your hands on the train as often as possible, and not just after going to the toilet. By the way, soap can be replaced with wet wipes, they are very convenient and practical, especially on the road, when there is no way to regularly wash your hands.
- Thirdly, toothpaste and brush are very useful on the road, especially if you have to spend one or even several nights on the train. It must be remembered that irregular brushing is the first step towards caries, but chewing gum can be used on the road.
Which of the things is useful on the train
When packing, we always think about what is useful to us there, at the place of arrival, and few people think about what to take with us on the train, in addition to the main baggage. That is why the road seems so tiring and exhausting. For a more comfortable stay on the road, you need to make an approximate list of what you need to take on the train:
- Linens. It is always handed out on the train, but no one gives a guarantee that it is new and fresh, so it’s better to take your kit on the road.
- Warm clothes and socks. The train is far from airtight transport, moreover, almost always (even in winter) the windows are slightly opened in it to ventilate the car. And even if this does not happen, then the draft still walks on the cars, especially in the cool season. Therefore, on the road with you you must definitely take warm things, such as sweaters, a bathrobe and socks, so that the trip is not spoiled by a cold.
- Footwear. Since the train has to get up and go down on its shelf again and again, it is very inconvenient to constantly tie laces or fasten the zipper. Therefore, on the road, shale or slippers are very useful, which can be quickly put on your foot and not sorry to stain or tear in the car.
What kind of food to take on the road
If the road ahead is long, for several days and nights, then the question immediately arises of what food to take on the train. It is clear that these products should not be perishable, so canned food, pickles are best suited. For the first day of the road, you can bring boiled eggs and potatoes with you. Few people know that you need to take not only foodstuffs with your train, but also ordinary drinking water, as this is not always good on trains. It would be worthwhile to bring along a couple of tea bags, sugar and something tasty and sweet.
When all things are packed and packaged, and everything is ready for a comfortable ride, you can think about the little things. For example, to pass the time on the road, you can bring along cards or a set of board games like checkers, chess and backgammon. Well, for complete happiness - do not forget the ticket and documents!
