Storing luggage at train station
 
I'm going to be traveling through Europe and at times will be wanting to store my large luggage at a train station storage office.....anyone know what the daily costs and time restrictions are?

Not sure where you are planning to go, but if you're in England, this is one website:

Europe is a biiiig place. Different countries/cities/stations will have different facilities/costs.

So where are you traveling?

I will be traveling to Lisbon, Barcelona, Budapest, Vienna, and Prague and need info on storing luggage at their train stations.

You will find luggage storage in train stations in all those cities - well should in places like Spain a terrorist bomb could suddenly close them but that is unlikely of course.

Sounds like you need some resources that would have answered that question and many others - check out these fantastic sites to plan a European rail trip - www.budgeteuropetravel.com; www.seat61.com; www.ricksteves.com.

If not flying between some of these far-removed locations then it's a no-brainer to get some kind of Eurailpass - that is if doing all by trin the whole way, which if you have time is great IMO.

there are often two types of storage facilities - coin or credit card operated lockers or manually-staffed left luggage counters where you hand over your luggage and are charged per piece per a set amount of time - lockers can be cheaper if you have two or more pieces that can fit in them but the max storage time is typically 48 or 72 hours - if you want longer you'll have to come back to the station, pay and open the locker and re-start the time all over.
