Onboard service

What this is

Bedding, breakfast and the amenities that make a night train a night train, charged per passenger at a rate that differs by accommodation class.

A sleeper passenger costs more to serve than a seated one, which is part of why the classes are priced differently.

Bedding, breakfast and amenities, charged per ticket sold.

The formula
