    Getting train tickets

    Posted by jjpjones 20 August 2009

    You can check the Russian rail timetables and book tickets online now. Nice to see some progress - getting tickets used to be a nightmare!

    I used this site for my Trans Siberian tickets. You can book any tickets for travel inside Russia or to neighbouring countries.

    It sounds like a romantic way to cross the vast open spaces of Russia, leaving Moscow one evening and awaking to the Romanov's splendid Baroque capital. However the beds are cramped and uncomfortable, the train rattles far too much to get much sleep, and the toilets are disgusting. There was a certain charm to watching snow-covered fields and forests pass by in the half-light, but I suspect the view (particularly of a vast lake at one point) would have been all the more stunning during the day, and I wouldn't have felt like a zombie the day after.
