Currently available berth types and quantities (whether hard sleeper/soft sleeper is available);
Whether group joining is accepted or a minimum group size is required.
Example:If planning to travel in July, confirm whether soft sleeper berths are still available for departures on July 10, 17, etc.

Special train fares typically include transportation, accommodation, some meals, and tour guide services, but the following details need to be clarified:
