Hier is de lijst met routes die door Chapa Express worden bediend en waarnaar altijd veel vraag is bij de reizigers:
Om het meeste uit je treinreis te halen kies je de klasse van je ticket verstandig. Houd rekening met de lengte van je reis, het tijdstip van de dag en je eigen voorkeuren. Voor langere nachtelijke reizen zijn tickets in eerste of tweede klas in een slaapwagon wellicht de beste oplossing. Met beide opties kan je zo comfortabel mogelijk de nacht doorslapen in een trein en verlies je geen kostbare tijd tijdens de dag. Merk op dat tickets in eersteklas soms niet kunnen worden geboekt voor korte reizen van een paar uur op een langer traject. Ze zijn vaak gereserveerd voor reizigers die het hele traject van vertrek tot eindstation afleggen. Toch zijn tickets in tweedeklas met soms zachte stoelen een behoorlijk alternatief als je slechts 4 tot 5 uur op de trein zit. Controleer wat bij de prijs is inbegrepen. Linnengoed en handdoeken zijn al dan niet voorzien voor overnachtingen, evenals water, snacks of toiletartikelen. Het is altijd een goed idee om wat extra kleding mee te nemen aan boord, omdat de airconditioning of verwarming misschien niet aan je eisen voldoet.
Reizen per trein: Voor- en nadelen
Voordelen van reizen per trein
Reizen per trein is een ideale oplossing om het verkeer voor te zijn. Hoewel vertragingen om verschillende redenen soms mogelijk zijn, zullen in het algemeen noch de spits, noch lange weekends, noch drukke vakantiedagen je reis met de trein verpesten.
Online boeken van treinkaartjes bespaart je veel tijd. Voor veel bestemmingen kunnen tickets tot 90 dagen voor je reisdatum worden geboekt. Toch zijn er vaak ook last-minute aanbiedingen beschikbaar. Je hoeft ook niet naar het treinstation om te boeken, doe het waar je wilt.
In veel gevallen zijn treintickets veel voordeliger dan vliegtickets. Op bepaalde routes is de reisduur van hogesnelheidstreinen gelijk aan of zelfs korter dan die van vliegtuigen, als je bedenkt hoeveel tijd je op de luchthaven doorbrengt met inchecken en het doorlopen van veiligheids- en/of douaneformaliteiten.
Spoorwegstations bevinden zich vaak in het centrum van de stad. Het bespaart je veel tijd om je accommodatie te bereiken. Oudere stations hebben vaak de extra bonus dat ze super sfeervol zijn en in historische gebouwen liggen. Reizen naar/van dergelijke stations kan worden beschouwd als een waardevol punt van je hele reisplan.
Behalve dat je overdag tijd overhoudt voor andere leukere dingen, is een nacht in de trein een goede manier om te besparen op je hotelkosten. Als je voor een slaaptrein kiest, mag je ook verwachten dat je goed slaapt. Beter dan in een slaapbus!
Op sommige routes rijden luxe treinen, en het is zeker een ervaring die je minstens één keer in je leven moet proberen.
Nadelen van reizen per trein
Hoe langer de afstand, hoe langer de treinrit, en als je een aanzienlijke afstand moet afleggen, zal het erg tijdrovend zijn. Soms is vliegen dus een beter alternatief, ook al is het duurder.
Verbindingen met je verder vervoer moeten met extra zorg worden gepland. Hoewel de dienstregelingen normaal gesproken vastliggen, zijn vertragingen en annuleringen altijd mogelijk om uiteenlopende redenen. Een ander punt om rekening mee te houden is de locatie van het station waar je trein aankomt of vertrekt. In bepaalde steden en plaatsen is er meer dan één station, wat soms voor verwarring zorgt.
Een van de meest voorkomende klachten over treinen op bepaalde trajecten is de netheid. Het betreft vooral de goedkoopste klasse rijtuigen en toiletten.
Tijdens sommige treinreizen worden haltes niet altijd duidelijk aangekondigd of gemarkeerd. Elektronische schermen lossen dit probleem gemakkelijk op, maar zijn niet overal aanwezig. Zorg er dus voor dat je je halte volgt met GPS of vraag het gewoon aan de conducteur.

Er is ons een upgrade aangeboden. Deze was erg goed. We werden ontvangen met een gratis drankje in de wachtruimte. De coupé was heel schoon en alles was top geregeld. Toilet was ook schoon. Voldoende ruimte!

Prima trein om naar Sapa te gaan, vertrek 22:40 aankomst 06:35. Goede matrassen, regelbare airco en beddengoed. Water, bier, frisdrank gratis in de csbine en bij te halen tegen betaling. Ruim uur voor vertrek melden op 1e verdieping via roltrap bij Chapa lounge en begeleidt naar coupé. Prima rustige ervaring.
Mooie(boven verwachting) cabines vriendelijk personeel. Helaas het treinstel maakte ongelofelijk veel lawaai. Continu geluid van metaal op metaal. Tevens airco, die maar 1 stand leek te hebben: vriesstand

Easier than I thought it would be. Once at the station, we found the check-in, and to our surprise there was a free lounge for Chapa guests where we’re were served a refreshment before our trip. Once aboard, we found a small but comfortable berth with snacks and water laid out. We were even offered a complimentary beer! The journey is a little rough. My adult son was travelling with me and he slept soundly. I got some sleep, and my son’s partner got about an hour. Nevertheless, I would highly recommend this experience. Such a novelty.
Nice train, clean and nice atmosphere inside. Snacks and water prepared. Bathroom was always clean.
Staff at Hà Nội station were super friendly and helpful.
When fall asleep fast (like me) and staff came for service, you'll maybe get startled (even with earplugs) and are awake again.
Excellent, courteous and welcoming service from start to finish. Luxurious cabins, comfortable mattresses, delicious refreshments - a wonderful experience!!!

10 10 10 scores! Everything is great from beginning to the end. We upgraded the cabin to Tokin and really enjoyed the train ride. The train was clean and provided you enough amenities, drinks, snacks and fruits. The beds were comfortable. Air con also worked well. I was worried about the hygiene of the toilets during the trip but they are clean and well maintained. I am a light sleeping person but I can sleep well through the night. I like this train more than others based on my real experience 1. Clean toilets, 2. No peasants and smoking person around and the last reason I feel safe more than other trains. Highly recommended. I will definitely use Chapa express again if I need the sleeping train next time in Vietnam.

This was actually whole a lot better than we expected.
Personally, I love trains, and as I’m from Japan, the night train is becoming a thing of the past in Japan now. Before we got onboard, I heard it’d be really bumpy and loud since the rail track is a century old, and to be honest, it was indeed bumpy and loud. But, we had actually better experience than Japanese Sunrise Express!! From the refreshments available in the room, hot food service and catering available to comfortable sleeping accommodations, we were blown away by it. Something we can’t have in Japan (if you pay million yen, you could have such experience in Japan, but we aren’t one of those people…)
So, it was truly amazing experience for us. I know taking flight or night bus was cheaper and more efficient convenient way to travel, but I’m glad I made the right decision for our first trip to Vietnam! Thank you so much for your hospitality!

The CHAPA Express will be one of my fondest memories from my trip to Vietnam. The train cabin was clean and cozy. The views were incredible. I appreciate how Dean messaged me on WhatsApp to give me directions on where to check in and the lounge. Richard then escorted me to my cabin and helped me get settled. He answered all my questions. Richard was a delight to talk to before my departure. The staff waives you off to Da Nang. Then you start a magical train ride from Hanoi to Da Nang!

All was perfect but the climatisation was not working so it was very hot to sleep like impossible in the train and it was during the night.
Our trip was rescheduled to a later time which was not a problem but the only notice was an what’s app message, nothing else (like an email). That was confusing. We got an upgrade though to Indigo class which was beautiful and comfi! The staff at the train station was not helpful in my request not to fill our compartment up with a man instead of an women as an additional passenger . If I had known I would have booked the whole compartment for my family of 3. We hardly slept because of the hard noise and bumpy ride, but that’s a train experience:).
I was surprised how comfortable it was. We had a good night sleep! We appreciated the waiting lounge and the shower in Lao Cai.I’m glad we didn’t take the bus. Worthed!
The lounge was nice. But the cabin was extremely warm and it was difficult to breathe in the night. The day after the company requested feedback and when we shared our experience they simply said they wished they knew sooner. However when we confronted them with the fact that we had tried to let them know during the train ride, they ignored us. Not a great way to handle feedback :/

The beds were super comfortable but the best was that 12go called us when we were getting close to the time the train left and then made sure we got on when it was close. If not for them we probably would have missed the train.

Someone offered us the option to pay an extra $60 for a private cabin. I thought it would be a great idea to get a good night’s sleep, so I paid for it. What a mistake!!!
Yes, the cabin was very nice, but it was absolutely impossible to sleep, not even for 10 minutes. The train was creaking as if it were going to break apart, and it was shaking like an 8-degree Richter scale earthquake.
On the train to Sapa, even though we had a shared cabin, we slept very well. I don’t know why this trip was so awful. So, I do not recommend paying extra for a private cabin.

The train, the cabin, and the bathroom you could access was nice & clean. However, being a luxury train (and please note, I am comparing it to another train doing the same route), it was way too noisy (which I didn’t face in the other one). During the whole ride, the noise didn’t stop. The ear buds provided dont help. And you really can’t sleep.

Train was on time and very clean. Staff at the station really friendly and helpful. Cabin was comfortable.
Vietnamese rail staff on the train try to sell you extras, so be careful.
Overall great experience.
Overall this was a fine experience. We were booked on Chapa but notified the day before that we would be on a different train line as they had overbooked. There were not a lot of other trains available at that time so we agreed. We were placed in a Vietnam rail car attached to the chapa train. Chapa had tried really hard to make it look nice and in their style but if it looks like a duck, acts like and duck and quacks like duck it’s a duck. I look forward to trying the Chapa train on the return trip because their train looks really cool. The staff at check in and in the VIP lounge were FANTASTIC!!!!
Ok. Not so super. Cleanliness is good. The noise of announcement and songs makes irritation. So they give ear plug: don’t forget to put, even though heard it louder.
After booking got contacted by train company saying they couldn’t provide me my seats but that I could pay an upgrade. Try to negotiate but not enough. Asked to get refund and not surprised they couldn’t provide finally give me my seats. Not sure if it was spam or the real company but in both ways they tried to scam me. Got no help from 12Go. The train ride was fine. Comfortable beds but very noisy has you could expect. Barely got sleep on the night ride. Would do it again but during daytime.
Overall everything went well, check-in, punctuality and everything, but the Train Ride ist far from luxurious! When you tried to Switch off the AC it made an afwul squeaking noise and it was Not a comfirtable Night Of sleep, since those trains Are 50 yo and it is horrobly Loud at Night, Even With earplugs!

The train is noisy and bumpy but that has nothing to do with Chapa and is just how old trains are in Vietnam. But the cabin was comfortable, the link to the Sapa private transport was seamless and it was all relatively easy.

Whilst the cabin was very tidy, clean, and had some water and snacks, the train itself was very, very noisy. None of the 4 of us sharing the cabin got any sleep.
We will take a night bus next time 10000%.
