Luggage storage at Ollytatambo?

Yes, if you leave luggage at the train station, you will have time to collect it before taking the bus to Cusco (Bimodal service). Check the luggage storage hours, I believe they close at 7PM, so you need to take a train that gets back to Ollantaytambo before that time. BTW, I have brought carry-ons on the train a few times.
