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?

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.
