Seating car reservation Sankt Peterburg - Moskva issued to an international ticket. The international fare does not know a difference between ordinary seating car and businessclass (which is available on train 159). So my friend issued me this reservation for a place in businessclass, which was quite nice (2+1 seating, dinner included, free newspapers). The fare of the reservation was only about 3 EUR, and it was issued to an international ticket Sankt Peterburg - Russe (in Bulgaria) for about 38 EUR. So I paid about 12 EUR for this trip (3 EUR + 1/4 of the ticket Sankt Peterburg - Russe. Usual domestic fare for businessclass in this train is about 70 EUR, ordinary seating car costs about 45 EUR. 2006-09-17 Helmut Uttenthaler helmut.uttenthaler@gmx.at

rzd_schlaf_moskva_chop.jpg (59442 bytes)

RZD receipt of sleeping car reservation Moskva - Chop for train 15 (Moskva - Uzhgorod), issued at Irkutsk. I wanted to get a reservation for the through car to Zilina, but according to the lady at the service center this was already sold out. So I bought a reservation on one of the Uzhgorod bound cars as far as Chop, where you can change to seating cars across the border. Unfortunately you have to do this in the middle of the night. Also note, that this reservation is nearly twice as expensive as one for the through car to Zilina. According to the train personal this through car is often completely booked by Russian travel agencies, which cancel their reservations sometimes very shortly before departure. In fact the through car to Zilina was empty with many places available, when I arrived at the train station. Don´t expect the train personal to help you and let you in this car in such a situation, they all just want money, money, money. So I travelled as booked on the Uzhgorod car. Service was very poor on this car, there was no heating during the day and sauna-style heating during the night, which made sleeping at night impossible and required opening of the windows on the corridor, while the car attendend disappeared somewhere on the train. If you have to travel on this train, try to get on the through cars to Hungary or Slovakia, you definitely want to avoid the cars to Uzhgorod. 27.2.2008 Martin P.
