Railway transport is considered one of the safest in the world. However, in addition to the general safety of railway transport, there is also the personal safety of each passenger, which depends entirely on adherence to certain rules.
Be attentive to random fellow travellers who try to gain your trust or offer to share alcoholic beverages. For the purpose of committing criminal acts, fraudsters may add a sedative or psychotropic substance to alcohol and other drinks. Do not respond to dubious requests to hand over parcels or other items to unknown persons in another locality. They may contain drugs and other substances and items prohibited in civilian circulation. Do not leave your belongings unattended while waiting for a train, during stops, when visiting the dining car and other places, and do not entrust them to casual acquaintances and fellow travellers. Before arriving at your final destination, check that all your belongings are present, and when leaving the carriage, try not to leave luggage in the compartment even for a short time. Do not place documents in an easily accessible place in plain sight. Keep money for small expenses separate from large sums. Fully charge your mobile phone before travelling. If you find unattended items, do not touch them, but immediately report them to a police officer, carriage attendant, or other transport worker.
If an unlawful act has been committed against you, immediately report the incident to the police by calling 102, or to the police escort accompanying the train.
