Timetable of long-distance passenger trains. Train schedule of JSC Russian Railways

The Russian Railways train schedule depends on the season (summer, winter), and more specifically, on the demand for tickets in each direction. It is based on this that new flights are assigned, unpopular ones are removed from the schedule, etc. And if earlier there were books with the railway station schedule, it was necessary to navigate by the board and information from the cashier, now everything has become much simpler. You simply indicate on the website the route for which you want to buy a ticket. Enter your departure date, choose your seats, and order a ticket without leaving your home. Faster, easier and cheaper than going to the station.

Why is it more convenient to buy train tickets online?

Online train schedule opens whole line advantages:

• You save time. Any trip to the station just to look at the schedule and buy a transport ticket requires several free hours. And so you can work, study with children, go to the cinema and do any other things during this time. The time is yours.
• You have complete information. You can check the availability of tickets for long-distance trains in any direction, from any station. See how much each ticket costs, whether the seats in the carriage suit you (when purchasing tickets on our website, you can see the carriage diagram). If you don’t like the places that are left, you have the opportunity to choose other dates or a different route, for example, with transfers.
• You can buy cheaper. Now the cost of tickets for Russian Railways trains (except for electric trains) is determined based on many factors. And seeing the whole picture, seeing the price of tickets on different dates and on different trains, you can choose. The level of comfort varies (branded and non-branded trains, compartments and reserved seats). Tickets may be cheaper on some days of the week, and more expensive on popular dates. You don't need to remember seasonal coefficients - you just see the actual cost in this moment time. And if additional flights or additional carriages appear, including those with cheap seats, you will see them too.
• You can arrive at the station directly to the train thanks to electronic registration through the website. You can register for almost all trains directly when purchasing a ticket online. And at the station you will only need to show the conductor a regular printout electronic ticket and a passport (or you can even show it on the screen of a tablet or smartphone). It's comfortable.

This page provides a detailed timetable for suburban and passenger trains all categories departing from Moscow stations.

Moscow – the railway heart Russian Federation. There are eight large stations in the capital - Belorussky, Kazansky, Kyiv, Kursky, Leningradsky, Paveletsky, Rizhsky and Yaroslavsky, each of which performs specific transport tasks.

Long-distance trains depart from the Belorussky station in the southwestern and western directions. International trains depart in the direction of Brest, Berlin, Bratislava, Warsaw, Vienna, Vilnius, Gomel, Grodno, Kaliningrad, Kaunas, Cologne, Klaipeda, Minsk, Mogilev, Nice, Paris, Polotsk, Prague and others.

Suburban service from the Belorussky railway station is carried out by electric trains and express trains to the stations Borodino, Vyazma, Zvenigorod, Mozhaisk, Odintsovo, Usovo, as well as a special express train to Sheremetyevo airport.

Kazansky Station is one of the busiest stations in Moscow, which provides the movement of passenger and commuter trains in the southern, southeastern and eastern directions.

A number of trains depart from the station long distance communication, which connect the capital with many cities Central Russia, Caucasus and Siberia. International express trains from the Kazan station go to the largest cities of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

Passenger and fast trains depart from Kievsky Station in the direction of Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Serbia and Slovakia. Suburban electric trains connect Moscow with Aprelevka, Bekasovo, Kaluga, Kresty, Lesnoy Gorodok, Maloyaroslavets, Nara, as well as Vnukovo airport.

Kursky Station serves as a transit railway point. Trains depart from its platforms towards Donetsk, Dnepropetrovsk, Kerch, Poltava, Simferopol and Kharkov in Ukraine, as well as many large cities in Russia. Electric trains run in the Kursk and Gorky directions.

Leningradsky is the only station in Moscow that is not subordinate to the Moscow Railway. Being a passenger part of the Moscow-Oktyabrskaya station, it is a division of the Oktyabrskaya Railway and serves the northwestern and northern directions.

From the Moscow-Oktyabrskaya station, trains run to Veliky Novgorod, Murmansk, Petrozavodsk, Pskov and St. Petersburg in Russia, as well as to Tallinn (Estonia) and Helsinki (Finland). Suburban electric trains run to the stations Klin, Konakovo, Kryukovo, Podsolnechnaya, Skhodnya and Tver.

Paveletsky Station connects the capital with the Central Black Earth Region, the Lower and Middle Volga Region and partly with the Caucasus. International trains to Alma-Ata, Baku, Donetsk, Lugansk and Tbilisi start from the station. Suburban trains connect Moscow with Barybino, Biryulyovo, Kashira, Mikhnevo, Ozherelye, Stupino, Uzunovo, Yaganovo and the airport in Domodedovo.

Rizhsky Station provides reception of trains from the northwestern direction. From here trains depart in the direction of Velikie Luki and Pskov, as well as branded trains to the cities of Latvia.

Suburban trains and express trains regularly run to the stations Volokolamsk, Dedovsk, Istra, Krasnogorsk, Nakhabino, Novoierusalimskaya, Rumyantsevo and Shakhovskaya.

Trains in the north-eastern direction are received by the Yaroslavsky railway station in Moscow, connecting the capital with largest cities Ural, North, Siberia and Far East. International trains depart from Yaroslavsky Station to Beijing and Ulaanbaatar.

Suburban trains from this station go to the stations Alexandrov, Ivanteevka, Krasnoarmeysk, Korolev, Losino-Petrovsky, Mytishchi, Pushkino, Sergiev Posad, Fryazino, Khotkovo, Shchelkovo and Yubileiny. Suburban express trains connect Moscow with Aleksandrov, Bolshevo, Monino, Mytishchi, Pushkino and Yaroslavl.

All Moscow stations are distinguished by a developed modern infrastructure, which necessarily includes preliminary and suburban ticket offices, a detailed schedule of train arrivals and departures, service centers, waiting rooms of all categories, rest rooms, and storage rooms. This contributes to high bandwidth Moscow railway hub and ensures continuous movement of the world's largest passenger traffic.

Information on train and electric train schedules at Moscow station:

The schedule of trains and electric trains at the Moscow station today includes 718 long-distance trains, commuter trains and electric trains (including diesel engines) - 2911, 1009 of them passing and 2620 - starting or ending their journey in this locality. Most trains arrive in the morning. The first, according to the schedule, departs at 00:00 in the direction of Zheleznodorozhnaya station, and the last arrives at 23:59. The average parking time on the platform is 0:30.
Some trains passing through Moscow station do not run every day (they have a special schedule).
The train and train schedule for the Moscow station presented on this page takes into account seasonal changes, that is, winter and summer option schedules.
Tickets for trains and electric trains at Moscow station can be purchased online or at the ticket office.

Which, however, has already been discussed in various communities.

The Russian Railways holding will change the procedure for displaying arrival and departure times on travel documents for long-distance and suburban trains. From August 1, 2018 to train tickets will only be indicated local time, which corresponds to the time zone of departure of the passenger, Russian Railways reported.

Currently recorded on forms Moscow time arrivals and departures, as well as local time.
<...>
“For the convenience of passengers, the arrival and departure times will be indicated on travel documents, specifying how many hours they differ from Moscow. Information about local arrival and departure times will also be displayed on information boards on trains, platform signs and station signs. electronic watch", the message says.

That is, in essence, from August 1, 2018, the centuries-old tradition of Moscow time on Russian Railways becomes a thing of the past. No, of course, all dispatching, work schedules and schedules will remain on the same Moscow time, but all this will no longer be visible to the ordinary passenger. It will be like in aviation, where dispatch is carried out according to UTC, but few passengers know about it.

Why did Russian Railways abandon this tradition? There are, in my opinion, three main reasons.

Reason #1. Formal.

There is a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 01/08/1992 N 23 (as amended on 08/31/2011) “On the procedure for calculating time on the territory of the Russian Federation”, paragraph 5 of which reads:

"...traffic by rail, water and intercity road transport, open for public use, as well as long-distance telephone and telegraph communications on the territory of the Russian Federation are carried out according to Moscow time. Movement air transport produced in UTC time. Informing the population about the operation of transport and communications is carried out according to the time established in the given area."

That is, there is a government decree that must be followed. This is the law. The only strange thing is that, as it turned out, Russian Railways ignored him for more than 25 years... However, in Russia there are a lot of strange things with the laws...

Reason #2. Fight for the client.

Many will say: “Where is the struggle here, the passenger needs speed and comfort, but it doesn’t matter what time is on the schedule.” For regular passengers, yes, they are accustomed to this feature of Russian Railways and almost never get confused. But those who rarely use the railway may not know about Moscow time on the schedule. Having made a mistake once, he, of course, will receive a negative reaction, and the likelihood that he will use the railway next time becomes lower.
But these small bricks make up the overall prestige of the railway.

It’s not for nothing that most suburban companies, for which passenger transportation is not a small side activity, but their main income, switched to local time in their schedules back in the early 2000s. Moreover, they even show a dependence: the better things are with suburban transportation in the region, the sooner they switched the schedule to local time. And vice versa, in regions where local authorities and Russian Railways have long since neglected the suburbs, Moscow time is still preserved in the schedule of the remaining trains. This is, for example, Transbaikal region And Chelyabinsk region. Except that Sverdlovsk region there is some exception: the suburbs are gradually developing, in particular, express flights to neighboring cities have appeared (Nizhny Tagil, Kamensk-Uralsky, etc.), but their schedule is still based on Moscow time.

Seyatel station (Novosibirsk), schedule. Long-distance trains - according to Moscow time, suburban ones - according to local time (MSK+4).

Display board at the suburban station of Chelyabinsk. Moscow time and 0 (zero) electric trains in the next few hours...

I would also note that Russian Railways is now trying to follow the path of Europe and develop multimodal transportation based on connections various types transport (train+train, train+bus, train+plane, etc.). When buses, commuter trains, and aviation schedules are written at one time, and long-distance trains at another, it is not very convenient for passengers to perceive this; errors are possible due to incorrect determination of the time zone at the connecting point, or during recalculation.

Reason #3 (push). Change of time zones in the Volga region and the World Cup.

In 2016, several regions of the Volga region changed their time zone, moving from Moscow time (on which they lived for 25 - 30 years) an hour forward. They certainly received a more comfortable lighting regime, but many residents were unprepared for the difference with Moscow. Because they for a long time accustomed to living in the same time zone as the capital, some people’s “firmware” with the perception and processing of 2 or more time zones has atrophied in their heads. Conversion from local time to Moscow time and back turned out to be too much for such people challenging task, and they began to write indignant letters to Russian Railways. The latter met them halfway and in the middle of last year introduced double time on railway tickets (I’m talking about this), and now, apparently, they are completing the reform.

There is also a version that the reform was carried out because of the World Cup, so that foreign guests would not get confused. But the timing doesn’t add up here. The date announced by Russian Railways for transferring schedules to local time is August 1, 2018, and the championship will last from June 15 to July 15, 2018. However, it is possible that in the cities hosting the 2018 World Cup, the schedule reform will be carried out a couple of months earlier. Let's see...

Wouldn’t the abandonment of the unified Moscow time in schedules create more problems and inconvenience?

Such statements in connection with this reform are already being heard and sometimes quite actively. I'll look at the most common ones:

1. Local time in schedules in a country with more than 10 time zones can lead to desynchronization of railway operations and, as a result, failures, emergencies and crashes.

This is all either a misunderstanding of the principles of operation of the railway, or deliberate speculation. The entire internal “kitchen” of the railway has always worked and will continue to work according to a single time, so there will be no desynchronization. What is displayed for passengers does not affect internal dispatching in any way, neither in commuter transportation, nor in aviation (where information in local time has been carried out for quite a long time) so far not a single crash has been recorded for this reason.

2. A train is not a plane, it has intermediate stops in different time zones, passengers will get confused along the way without a single time.

Here it is worth examining the situation in more detail. First of all, you should answer the question, How many passengers cross time zones at least once during their trip??
At first, I honestly tried to find statistics on passenger flows by destination in order to calculate the number of passengers across time zone boundaries, but in vain. Therefore, only the most general figures. According to the Russian Railways countdown for 2016 (see here), 101.4 million passengers used long-distance trains (of which 9.2 were in high-speed traffic). The passenger turnover of long-distance trains amounted to 93.5 billion passenger-kilometers (of which 4.6 were in high-speed traffic). High-speed traffic in Russia is available only in one time zone, so we are obviously not interested in, if we discard it and divide passenger turnover by passenger flow, it turns out that the average trip length is 964 kilometers.
Now look at the map or reference book: the average distance between the boundaries of time zones when moving along the Trans-Siberian Railway is 1200 - 1800 km. The only exceptions are the Samara (MSK+1) and Omsk (MSK+3) time zones, which are about 170 and 330 km, respectively, but these are very small regions in terms of population. That is, it turns out that the average passenger does not even reach the time zone border. Why does a passenger need Moscow time on a trip if he is traveling from Khabarovsk to Vladivostok, from Taishet to Irkutsk, from Novosibirsk to Krasnoyarsk or from Perm to Tyumen? It is definitely more convenient for such a passenger to see local time in the schedule.

Even if a passenger crosses one time zone during a trip, it is unlikely that it is more convenient for him to use Moscow time for this; it is easier to change the clock once - and that’s it. And only for those who travel through 2 zones or more, it may be more convenient to navigate the trip using the unified Moscow time than to remember where the boundaries of time zones are and change the clock according to them each time. But are there many such passengers? According to my observations, even on long-distance Trans-Siberian trains like No. 99/100 Moscow - Vladivostok there are less than half of them. And on other routes there are simply no such ones a priori, because almost nowhere else there is more than one time limit on the route. That is, the real share of such passengers, I think, is on the order of a percentage. Agree, it is illogical to do what is convenient for a very small, highly specialized group (which, moreover, will only shrink in the future as aviation develops), to the detriment of the rest.

3. Yes, they are toiling around with nonsense, everyone has long been accustomed to it and no one gets confused. Unless “victims of the Unified State Exam” cannot add/subtract a few hours for conversion from Moscow to local and vice versa.

Well, first of all, the “Unified State Exam victims” are people too, and Russian Railways, as passengers, are also important. And secondly, it’s a myth that no one gets confused. At a minimum, those who rarely use railways, as well as residents of the Moscow time zone who find themselves outside it for the first time, often make mistakes; these categories are simply not aware of this feature of Russian Railways.
But sometimes even experienced people make mistakes. Yes, due to absent-mindedness, inattention, accident, but nevertheless it happens. For example, one of my friends, planning a transfer from a train to an electric train, incorrectly determined the time zone at the transfer point (it had changed a couple of months before, but she did not know). As a result, when the train arrived, the train had already left. This is how the error disrupted the trip a little. If only local time had been on the train schedule, such an error would not have happened.
Another friend of mine bought a ticket for a train leaving in the middle of the night. He correctly converted from Moscow time to local time, but did not take into account that the ticket had to be bought for “yesterday’s” date (when in Novosibirsk it is 2:50, in Moscow it is still “yesterday”). I discovered this error only upon boarding (when it turned out that his seat was occupied). Since the trip was planned for a specific event, it partially lost its meaning... Yes, in a way, of course, it’s my own fault, I need to be more careful, but nevertheless, many people have difficulties because of this.

4. Now, when crossing the border, conductors will have to reset the time on the display inside the cars each time. Extra hassle, they will probably forget sometimes.

Perhaps this is the only one real problem. But, firstly, there is still no need to dramatize, when moving from west to east, on average, the hour boundaries go through 21 hours (I counted for the fastest train No. 1/2 "Russia"). Additional fuss almost once a day for a couple of minutes obviously will not overload the conductor with work. Yes, at first they will probably make mistakes and forget, but I think after 2-3 flights they will get used to it and will do it automatically.
Well, in the future, of course, we need to make this function automatic, with synchronization via GPS-Glonass.

5. What about those places where the railway runs along the time line and “jumps” to one time zone and then to another several times over a short distance?

There are only a few such places throughout Russia (for example, the Agryz - Naberezhnye Chelny section) and there is no intensive passenger traffic anywhere through them, mostly only local. I think for such lines you need to decide on an individual basis, for example, indicate both time zones in schedules.

That's all. I hope I have convinced you that the planned reform is really reasonable and that it will become a little more convenient for most passengers. Yes, of course, it’s a little sad and a pity for the centuries-old tradition, which was even sung by some foreigners traveling around Russia, but railway need to develop. In the meantime, take photographs of Moscow time on station clocks and displays, as well as in timetables in long-distance trains - soon this will be history.

MTPPC passengers with regular train tickets can now pay extra to Lastochka at the ticket office

Passengers of the Moscow-Tver PPK (Leningrad direction) who have a subscription ticket for a regular train can now sign up for the “Additional payment to the ambulance” service at the ticket office and ride on the “Swallow”. Previously, this service was available only to single ticket holders.

Holders of unlimited passes can make an additional payment on any route within the validity of the pass, and holders of passes “for the number of trips” - only from the starting or ending station.

The amount of the surcharge is equal to the difference in the cost of a one-time ticket for the fast (high-speed) train "Swallow" and a one-time ticket for a regular train. There is no fee for the service (subject to registration at the cash desk).

In connection with the construction of track 3 and the reconstruction of the stopping point, from January 14 to approximately June 30, 2019, all commuter trains at the stop. The victory of the Kyiv direction will follow without stopping.

Compensatory buses are assigned from/to Aprelevka station; the schedule can be found at the Central PPK.

July 30: About free travel for pensioners in Moscow and the Moscow region from August 1

From August 1, 2018, pensioners, as well as a number of other residents of Moscow and the Moscow region, will receive the right to free travel on commuter trains.

Pensioners Moscow will be able to travel for free on all commuter trains - including fast and high-speed commuter trains: Sputniks, REXs, suburban Lastochkas (highlighted on the website in blue, not to be confused with long-distance Lastochkas, highlighted in red - they do not provide benefits) and other express trains.

Pensioners Moscow region will be able to travel only on suburban trains numbered 6000. These include regular electric trains, the Standard Plus trains of the TsPPK and the Comfort trains of the Moscow-Tver PPK.

The benefit will apply to routes within the territory of Moscow, the Moscow region and adjacent regions, where direct trains run from Moscow (Moscow region). For example, on the Leningrad direction, free tickets can be issued no further than the Tver and Konakovo stations.

To be able to issue a cash-free ticket, you need to do it once (before the first use on suburban railway transport) activate social card. According to preliminary information, this will be possible to do this at ticket offices from August 1 at all main stations and some transfer stations in Moscow, as well as at a number large stations Moscow region - Mytishchi, Sergiev Posad, Zheleznodorozhnaya, Domodedovo, Lyubertsy, Podolsk, Nara, Odintsovo, Pavshino, Lobnya. In addition, it will be possible to activate (recode) the card at all stations and stopping points on the Moscow-Tver, Konakovo section (where there is a ticket office), as well as at ticket printing machines (BPA) of the Moscow-Tver PPK. There is no need to reissue the card.

If you don’t have a social card, you need to contact the MFC - they will issue you a certificate and a temporary card, upon presentation of which and your passport you can also issue a cash-free ticket. At the TsPPK training ground until August 9, it is possible to issue a ticket without a certificate (providing only a temporary card and passport are presented).

From mid-August it will be possible to activate the card at other stations.

After the card is activated, it will be possible to issue one-time non-cash tickets in the “there” or “round-trip” direction using the social card at the ticket office or bank account.

Please note that the right of free travel does not give the right to travel without a ticket. Before each trip, you must obtain a cash-free ticket from the ticket office or BPA. taking into account the category of the train in which you plan to travel (a ticket on a regular train does not give the right to travel on a fast train, but a ticket on a fast train also gives the right to travel on a regular train).

Beneficiaries in Moscow can usually do this on the day of the trip or in advance (up to 10 days), and beneficiaries in the Moscow region can do this only on the day of the trip.

If the ticket office is closed (at the time of departure of the train) or is absent, or there is no PPA, then you must obtain a coupon from the coupon-printing terminal confirming the fact of boarding at this stopping point (only at the Central PPK training ground). And only if there is no such terminal at the station, you can board without a ticket and issue a free ride directly on the train or at the destination station.

In other cases, if there is no ticket when checking on the train or at the destination station, a service fee of 100 to 200 rubles may be charged to the passenger.
