If you’re travelling in Westbahn’s First Class, an at-seat catering service is available, meaning that your meal of choice will be served straight to your seat. |

Can I bring a bike on board? | If your bike can’t be folded, you’ll need to pay a supplement of €4.90, €6.90 or €9.90 to take your bike on your Westbahn train, depending on your chosen route. If you don’t book your bike space online prior to departure, you’ll need to pay an additional fee of €5.10.

Pets and pet carriers must not occupy seats, otherwise a full-priced ticket will be charged. Registered guide and assistance dogs are excluded from this regulation. |
