Luggage storage Train Street

Train Street is the stretch of Phung Hung where the railway from Long Bien Bridge runs a few steps from people's front doors, and small cafes set their chairs right beside the rails. A few times a day a train squeezes through, the owners pull the stools back, and everyone watches it pass close enough to touch. Between trains it is a quiet lane for coffee and photographs under the brick arches of the old viaduct, and Hang Da Market and the craft streets of the western Old Quarter are a short walk away. Access to the tracks is sometimes limited by the authorities, so ask at a cafe before you settle in. Waiting for the train with a suitcase in a lane this narrow is no fun. Store your bags here, take your coffee by the tracks, and collect them before your own train or flight.
