Over Pumpkin Express

Reizen per trein is een handige manier om het land te verkennen. Het maakt niet uit of u op zoek bent naar een unieke ervaring met een langzame langeafstandstrein of een supermoderne hogesnelheidstrein, een treinreis stelt u in staat om in stijl op uw bestemming te komen en optimaal te genieten van de reis. Pumpkin Express is een van de exploitanten waar u een treinreis kunt boeken. Voordat u uw boeking bevestigt, moet u de datum van uw reis, de klasse, de prijs en de voorwaarden van uw tarief controleren.

Wat zijn de treinklassen en -prijzen van Pumpkin Express?

Afhankelijk van de lengte van uw reis en uw voorkeuren kunt u kiezen voor een ticket in eerste of tweede klasse in een slaapwagon voor een reis met overnachting of kiezen voor een harde of zachte zitplaats indien beschikbaar. Merk op dat de keuze van de ticketklassen afhangt van zowel het traject als de lengte van uw reis. In principe kan het zijn dat u in uw trein een plaats in eerste klas vindt, maar dat u die niet kunt boeken als u maar een korte reis van twee uur maakt. In het algemeen zijn tweede klas ligplaatsen een goede keuze voor langere reizen, en zachte zitplaatsen zijn beschikbaar als uw treinrit is verondersteld minder dan 4 tot 5 uur te duren.

Voor- en nadelen van reizen per trein

De voordelen van reizen per trein

  • Het beste aan reizen per trein is dat er geen files zijn. Zelfs niet in de spits, lange weekends of tijdens het hoogseizoen.
  • Tickets kunnen snel en eenvoudig online geboekt worden. U hoeft niet naar het station te gaan, wat nog niet zo lang geleden op veel plaatsen het geval was!
  • Prijzen voor treinkaartjes zijn meestal voordeliger in vergelijking met vliegtickets, maar voor bepaalde bestemmingen en reizen kan de totale reistijd bijna gelijk zijn.
  • Hoewel reizen per trein natuurlijk langzamer is dan per vliegtuig, liggen de treinstations vaak in het centrum van de stad, wat u veel tijd bespaart om er te komen, terwijl luchthavens bijna altijd een heel eind buiten de stad liggen.
  • Reizen 's nachts stelt u in staat te besparen op een hotelkamer en goed te slapen op hetzelfde moment, in tegenstelling tot een nachtbus waar zelfs de slaapklasse niet heel comfortabel is.
  • Op bepaalde routes is een luxe service beschikbaar.

Nadelen van reizen per trein

  • Voor langere reizen is een treinreis zeker tijdrovender dan een vliegreis.
  • Treinen rijden wel op schema, maar vertragingen zijn niet ongehoord bij treinreizen en vertragingen kunnen enorm zijn, dus als u een aansluiting op uw vlucht plant, kijk dan goed hoe laat uw trein op het station aankomt en denk twee keer na.
  • Netheid is soms een probleem in tweede of derde klasse, en ook de toiletten zijn niet altijd even hygiënisch.
  • Als uw trein veel stopt, is het in sommige gevallen moeilijk om uit te vinden wanneer u moet uitstappen, omdat de haltes niet altijd duidelijk worden aangekondigd of gemarkeerd, met uitzondering van een elektronisch scherm.

Trein #SP1 1ste Klasse Sleeper, Pumpkin Express, 3 sep. 2020
The price for what is provided is pretty high, so the value for this train trip is very low. The ticket guy for Pumpkin Express was easy to find and even at the station earlier than expected. He was also very helpful in getting me the drinks and snacks for my cabin and providing clear guidance on when and where to wait and board. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I couldn't sleep at all on the train despite having the entire VIP cabin to myself and there were only a few snacks and a couple drinks provided. I was impressed with the fact that I could actually charge my phone and they had a few different working lights in the room. The trains are very old, but they were cleaner than I expected. However, I also traveled only one month after the pandemic lockdown was lifted in Vietnam, so there were very few tourists traveling in general; that's probably why things were in decent condition (even the bathroom was pretty clean for a train). I was disappointed that there was no onboard wifi; luckily I had my own SIM with mobile data plan which worked on some parts of the trip. I took a private, 8-pax bus back from Sapa to Hanoi instead of the train, for which I paid only $25. It was much more comfortable, scenic, and quicker than the train. I likely would not take the train ever again unless the conditions were MUCH better (i.e., they need a complete overhaul).

予約の際にトラブルがあった。 満席と言われ、勝手に次の便に振り替えられ、返金不可とされたので、他の会社の列車にするか全額返金を求めたところ、ちょうどキャンセルが出たとのことで、元どおり乗れた。 当日は6割ぐらいしか埋まっておらず、満席とは?となった。

They changed our cabin without saying nothing to us. Plus the people from the train where very rude and only spoke in vietnamese to the couple who travelled in our cabin. These people in our cabin where extremly disgusting eating on the bed and throwing all the garbage to the floor. There might be some rules when you have to share so small espace with more people.

The pumpkin express from Hanoi to Sapa was great. We got a private sleeper cabin and slept pretty much the whole way on very comfortable beds with air con. We even had snacks, WiFi and plug sockets which we weren’t expecting! Would definitely use again.. plus saved money and time. Make sure you organise a pick up from the station when you arrive in Sapa, as it can be a bit hectic with a lot of people trying to over charge.

Bed sheets dirty, covered in blood! Slept with a towel as a blanket. Plus side, you get X2 bottles of water, cola and beer (1st class) very noisy and difficult to sleep but noise and movement settled down around 1am.

We booked a double room. The rooms was clean and cute. It’s not exactly easy to sleep. It’s pretty loud and the train rocks quite a bit. Navigating the train station in Hanoi was a bit difficult. Several attendants at the train station directed us to different tracks and trains. We made it on the train about 10 minutes before it left. The train left exactly at 2135 and we arrived on time at the station before Sapa. There is a snack cart and coffee and tea offered in the morning. We experienced the same lack of toilet paper as everyone else. So bring your own just in case.

I think this is very over sold. The carriages were very poor, not clean, the staff were not very interested. We were told in the evening that a coffee in the morning would be free, when it arrived we asked for 20, 000 Dong each, the cup wasn't even half full and it was terrible. The toilets we a shambles. It was very very poor!

Overall our trip was very very good. Easy picking up tickets, attendants pointed us to correct train car, etc. Cabin was clean, with clean sheets. We saw that there was WiFi but never got the password. Train bathroom was questionable but not the absolute worst. No toilet paper when we first arrived, but it was refilled the next morning. There were 2 sinks separate from toilet so you can brush teeth, etc.! We got a 2-person private cabin, so the mattresses were doubled up, firm, which I liked. Train is rocky and loud so bring ear plugs! Would do it again!

- Very dirty bathrooms, really unacceptable for this rate - airco in face while trying to get some sleep on hard and too short bed (if your height is >1.80m) - offering coffee is great, but not if the train arrives within 1 minute after receiving it

We had Insects in our room. The matresses were hard. The Service Lady did not speak any English. The VIP sleeper was totally overpriced. We paid 10 times as much as for a Bus. Next time we will take the Bus both ways the quality is so much better!

En cabine VIP pour 4. Les banquettes doivent faire 185cm de long car je rentre juste juste en position allongée. Confortable. Un oreiller et une couette fournie. Une bouteille d'eau, une barre chocolatée et une banane pour chaque passager de la cabine. Les toilettes, très très vite sales.

Family of 4, boys at 12 and 19 years. Thanks to details on tripadvisor we found the right building. The guy at the ticketoffice was late so that caused a little stress to all of us wantint to exchange our voucher to tickets. The sleeper was better than excpected, water, bananas and biscuits was included. Noisy, bring earplugs,bunks where ok. Take it as an adventure.

We booked a 1st class from Lao Cai to Hanoi with only 2 beds but was given a 4 beds. The air con was not cold at all so we make noise to the train station master. At the end they changed us back to another 4 beds. We are very disappointed as we paid so much for 1st class but get 2nd class bed.

Room was good. We booked a private room for 2. The top bunks were folded up. The lamp was broken. The mattresses were super firm but at least we had electrical outlets. The facilities were good for what it was. This was so much better than Oriental Express. We booked a private room with OE. OE had not electrical outlets and the bunks where bolted down so we couldnt fold them up.

This is for pumpkin train - The train beds are comfortable and toilet was fairly clean. Just the unstable wooden noise from the dividers when the train moves. We also had a bad experience when boarding the train as we do not have the tickets (we pre booked and only have the voucher which we tot is sufficient) and are confused with which platform and train to board. There was a guy approaching us offering help to find us the train. And when he got us the tickets he brought us to the cabin and he immediately asked us for tips, indicated how much he wants which was very intimidating. He wouldn't leave until you give him the amount he wants. Just be careful when you board the train and get your tickets.

Le voyage s'est très bien déroulé, nous sommes bien arrivés à Lao à l'heure en partant de Hanoi. Le petit bémol: trouver le bon endroit pour prendre le train et retrouver la personne qui détient les tickets pour voyager (réservation sur internet ne suffit pas - il faut l'échanger avec un ticket sur place)

Train was great, a real adventure. Was rocky but bed very comfortable and slept well. Toilet and washing facilities are what you'd expect on a train but sufficient. 12go.asia were great for arranging the booking but the directions to the ticket office were misleading and we struggled at the station. Glad we arrived 1.5hrs before the train.
