Bicol Express PNR Fare and Schedules
Do you like this story?
After I have published about the PNR Station Schedules and Fares for 2012, I am now here, as
promised, to blog about the famous Bicol Express, fares and schedules. It’s not
about the famous spicy dish, bicol express, it’s about the awesome voyage of
PNR train going to Bicol.
PNR and its famous fleet, the Bicol Express route, is active
again since the successful test last June 2011. It is now serving passengers to
its maiden voyage with new trains donated by Japan. Though the trains are not
totally brand new, they are good enough to give comfort and convenient ride
home. Bicol express train stations and complete list of terminals were
discussed on my article highlighted on the first paragraph if you wanna take a
peek.
To have a bit of experience of the new sleeper train, I have
uploaded some Bicol express train photos and pictures for you to see. A friend
of mine couldn’t wait enough to ride the new train and experience Bicol. She
went with her family, saw the perfect cone volcano peak, Mt. Mayon and visited Naga City…then Camarines
Sur. I admit, it’s a perfect travel adventure for backpackers and travel
addicts who prefer cheaper tours and fantastic journey. Inside the sleeper train, this is what it’s
gonna look like and it’s gonna be…

Looks comfy and nice enough to sleep in for the long
train-ride from Manila to Bicol. The only thing that lacks is a wifi enabled
zone. I wish PNR will make it possible soon as it’s kind nakaka-inip…Thank God
if you’re using internet plans on your phone, you can surf the web and Facebook
anytime. lol I suggest you bring your extra food and water too so you won’t be hungry
to wait for the next stopover. And oh, a cologne to spray your cabin.
This is suitable for groups of travelers or families. Your
friends could like a Bicol Express trip. You just have to plan it well and
prepare your budget. Know the train stations, schedules and plan your
itinerary. Know your stops, departure and arrival.
Reclining seats…
Feels like just a bus and a plane. I wish there are no Volde’s
creatures here or else I’ll bring my wand. Ok, I kid there. I’m still not so over with Harry Potter, I’m
sorry. The reclining seats are okayish and thank goodness it’s air-conditioned.
Bicol Express Schedule
Manila to Bicol: 6:30pm at Tutuban
