点评:I was booked to travel the train from Kampot to Phnom Penh for a 4pm departure. I was looking forward to seeing the lovely scenery along the way. Unfortunately, upon arrival at the station, I was initially informed the train had broken down and was delayed by 2 hours (6pm departure). Disappointed, but decided to wait since I haven't been on the train in Cambodia before. As the time went by, I kept checking with the guard that it was on track for a 6pm departure. 6 o'clock came and left, so I asked again and was told it was now 8pm! Now it's a 4 hour delay. By this time it was too late to organise an alternative transport, because all buses left at 5.45pm. The train station is sort of in the middle of nowhere, so not much to do but sit and wait. There were a couple of sellers selling snacks and drinks and there is a small cafe close by too. Eventually the train arrived at 8.15pm (not 8pm). We were told the train would arrive at 12.30am into Phnom Penh. On board the seats were reasonably comfortable and there were 4 air conditioners in the carriage. The trip was painfully slow, stopping a couple of times along the way. When we eventually made it to Phnom Penh safely, it was 2.30am!
My advice would be to keep checking early enough so you can book a bus instead. Also, I found the carriage quite cold, so bring jacket. Also bring snacks or drinks as there is nothing available on board.
My main complaint is the lack of information, especially if there is a delay and you are in a hurry.
Fyi, there are toilets on board, thankfully 😊
I would consider trying the train again, maybe a morning train😊.
翻译:我预订了从贡布到金边的火车,下午 4 点出发。我很期待看到沿途美丽的风景。不幸的是,到达车站后,我最初被告知火车发生故障并延误了 2 小时(下午 6 点出发)。很失望,但决定等待,因为我之前没有在柬埔寨坐过火车。随着时间的流逝,我不断地向警卫确认它是否按计划于下午 6 点出发。 6点来了又走了,所以我再问,被告知现在是晚上8点!现在延误了4个小时。到这个时候组织替代交通工具为时已晚,因为所有公共汽车都在下午 5 点 45 分离开。火车站有点偏僻,所以没什么可做的,只能坐着等。有几个卖小吃和饮料的卖家,附近还有一家小咖啡馆。最终火车在晚上 8 点 15 分(不是晚上 8 点)到达。我们被告知火车将在凌晨 12 点 30 分到达金边。车上的座位还算舒适,车厢里有4台空调。这次旅行非常缓慢,沿途停了几次。当我们最终安全到达金边时,已经是凌晨 2 点 30 分了!
我的建议是尽早检查,以便您可以预订巴士。另外,我觉得车厢很冷,所以带上外套。由于船上没有任何东西,请带上零食或饮料。
我的主要抱怨是缺乏信息,尤其是在出现延误并且您很着急的情况下。
顺便说一句,船上有厕所,谢天谢地😊
我会考虑再次尝试火车,也许是早上的火车😊。
