At the booking office they should be able to help you work out the next available train for wherever you want to go, but if they\u2019re not open go into the departures lounge and either ask around or check out the departures board.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"sc-separator type-space\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6528 size-full\" title=\"Cuba train timetable\" src=\"https:\/\/dontforgettomove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Cuba-train-timetable.jpg\" alt=\"Cuba train timetable\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dontforgettomove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Cuba-train-timetable.jpg 750w, https:\/\/dontforgettomove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Cuba-train-timetable-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dontforgettomove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Cuba-train-timetable-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/dontforgettomove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Cuba-train-timetable-296x197.jpg 296w, https:\/\/dontforgettomove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Cuba-train-timetable-690x460.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-separator type-space\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Above is a picture of the departures board for Havana in March 2016. What appears to be cryptic code is actually\u00a0relatively easy to decipher upon further inspection. There are four trains departing, each with their own designated number and destination. Of those four trains each has their own specific departure days (most leave every three days), which correspond with the dates in the top left corner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After you\u2019ve worked out the trains you\u2019ll need to find out which one actually stops where you want to go, then you can go back and figure out the date and time that it will leave.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For example, we were headed to Camaguey so we asked around to see what trains pass that station. For us the next available train that passed Camaguey was the Number 15 to Guantanamo. We then check the Number 15 schedule, saw it was leaving on the 28<sup>th<\/sup> of March at 6:53pm and booked our corresponding ticket.

In all seriousness a doctor actually came on board at one stage to check on someone who had appeared to pass out only a few seats in front of us. Once they\u2019d been given the all clear and received due medical attention (a few men waving homemade cardboard fans at them) it was time to hit the tracks!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"sc-separator type-space\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6530 size-full\" title=\"Rail transportation in Cuba\" src=\"https:\/\/dontforgettomove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Rail-transportation-in-Cuba.jpg\" alt=\"Rail transportation in Cuba\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dontforgettomove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Rail-transportation-in-Cuba.jpg 750w, https:\/\/dontforgettomove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Rail-transportation-in-Cuba-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dontforgettomove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Rail-transportation-in-Cuba-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/dontforgettomove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Rail-transportation-in-Cuba-296x197.jpg 296w, https:\/\/dontforgettomove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Rail-transportation-in-Cuba-690x460.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"sc-separator type-space\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After a clunky start,\u00a0the train finally settled into a rickety\u00a0rhythm and the night air began to fill the carriages and filter through the suffocatingly thick air surrounding us. At this stage a couple of girls behind us thought the whole train might be interested in listening to some pumping regaetton tunes for the first couple of hours, but by midnight the train was pretty subdued.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the train chugged away throughout the night any temporary periods of sleep were interrupted by frequent stops. For all the major stations, where you\u2019re likely to be visiting, an attendant comes up and down the aisles to shout out the next spot. Don\u2019t be worried about missing the call; they\u2019ll be no chance of you sleeping through the actual stop as the train makes an ever so gracious clank and jolt, almost enough to throw you from your seat, every time it comes to a halt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the morning the vendors emerged from their slumber and begin to trawl the aisles hawking their wares. Anything from crackers and ham sandwiches, to slabs of cheese, milk powder and 40-watt light globes.
