Getting There By Rail Philippine National Railways (tel: (02) 287 3062 or 514 832) is the national rail service provider. Service is basic, although the seats are surprisingly comfortable and some coaches are air-conditioned. Manila’s main station is Tutuban station, Claro M Recto Avenue, Tutuban (tel: (02) 287 3062). Facilities are limited, however, the adjacent Tutuban Mall has banks and other facilities. Rail services: The rail system connects Manila with the city of Legaspi on the Bicol Peninsula in southern Luzon (journey time – 12 hours) and extends north to San Fernando in La Union Province. This is essentially the country’s only rail line – although one is planned for the island of Mindanao – a fact that reveals much about Philippine infrastructure. Transport to the city: Transport to and from the station is basic, with no Metrorail connection. Taxis, buses and jeepneys are available at the railway station. |
