Russian railways train schedule. Train schedule of JSC Russian Railways

If the departure station and destination station are in Russia, the ticket indicates Moscow time. If the departure station or destination station are located in other countries, then the ticket, as a rule, indicates local time of one country or another. However, there are exceptions: for example, the railway station in the Kazakh city of Petropavlovsk is under the jurisdiction of Russian Railways OJSC and operates according to Moscow time.

It probably doesn’t make sense to list all the exceptions here: as a rule, the ticket indicates at what time the train departs and arrives. We also tried to take into account all such exceptions in the operation of the Yandex.Schedules service.

Formally, an average route speed for a fast train must be at least 50 kilometers per hour, and less for a passenger train. In reality, this rule is not observed. Nowadays fast trains can be distinguished by the ticket number and “by eye” - by a smaller number of stops.

This gradation operates in countries former USSR, other countries have their own principles for grading trains.

Ambulances (all year round) - 1–150;
- ambulances (seasonal and one-time service) - 151–298;
- passenger (year-round circulation) - 301–450 and 601–698;
- passenger seasonal, one-time use and children's - 451–598;
- high-speed - 701–750;
- high-speed - 751–788;
- fast, serviced by electric and diesel trains (except for high-speed and high-speed trains) - 801–898;
- official and special purpose - 901–920;
- tourist (commercial) - 921–940;
- human (freight trains with 10 or more cars for people) - 941–960;
- cargo-passenger - 961–970;
- postal and luggage - 971–998.

Regular suburban and border (regional) - 6001–6998;
- suburban ambulances with reserved seats - 7001–7098;
- suburban and urban express - 7101–7598;
- service (special purpose) - 7601–7628.

The current updated schedule for Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Lithuania can be viewed on our service. In each of these countries, the websites of carriers and railway operators usually also have an up-to-date schedule.

This depends on the availability of passenger cars. As a rule, there are no such cars on postal and luggage trains, which means that passengers cannot travel.

Tickets and train schedules in Russia and Ukraine indicate following types carriages:

M - VIP carriage with 1- or 2-seater compartments, equipped with bathrooms and shower. In such carriages only the entire compartment is sold;
L - SV (sleeping car), soft with double compartments, one-story and two-story;
K - compartment with four-seater compartments, one-story and two-story;
KB - compartment with compartment-buffet;
KR - compartment with radio station, one-story and two-story;
P - (PL), non-compartment with sleeping places (reserved seat);
O - non-compartment with seating (shared);
S - (Region), interregional with seating, one-story and two-story;
R - dining car, one-story and two-story;
P - postal;
B - luggage.

The fare consists of the cost of the ticket, the cost of a reserved seat and a commission fee (in some cases).

A reserved seat is a fee for “reserving” a seat on a train. There is no charge for a reserved seat on commuter trains.

Commission fees vary: for re-registration and return; for purchasing tickets a certain period before departure (in certain countries). There may also be fees (or, conversely, discounts) for booking tickets on the Internet, fees from the agency where you bought the ticket (if it is not the Russian Railways ticket office), and some others.

On the Yandex.Timetables service you can view train schedules within a number of CIS countries. On this moment Unfortunately, we do not provide schedules for other foreign countries. Train schedules in Europe can be found on the websites of the railways of the countries you are interested in, for example:
Die Bahn. Transport Germany
Renfe. Spanish railways
SBB. Transport Switzerland
SNCF. Transport France

Transport sites often not only provide information about trains, but also allow you to calculate the route as a whole, using city buses, commuter trains, and even taking into account walking. :)

In general, to the administration of the railway that owns the train you are traveling on. If your rights were violated while traveling on a Russian train, you can contact the public reception of JSC Russian Railways.

If you believe that your rights are being violated in the carriage by the conductor, contact the head of the train, and only then contact the administration of the railway where the train is formed.

In Russia and Ukraine, as a rule, tickets with transfers are not sold. Moreover, one ticket office may not sell you tickets for trains whose arrival and departure times are three hours or less apart.

In reality, cases may be different. Trains are rarely delayed by several hours, so on the Yandex.Timetables service we search for routes with transfers (with a minimum time for transfer of 1 hour), warning about the personal responsibility of the passenger for his decision. It should be remembered that there may be more than one station in a city, and the distance between them may be quite large.

In Europe, as a rule, you can buy tickets with a transfer lasting at least 5 minutes.

No, you are not allowed to bring your own bed linen on trains for hygiene reasons.

Yes, you are already insured, and information about this is indicated in one of the lines of the ticket. Additional insurance, which is offered at some cash desks, only increases the amount of insurance payments. Some exceptions are interstate trains, where there is no initial insurance.

The conductor is obliged to comply with all reasonable requests of the passenger: at least three times provide passengers with tea, coffee per day, confectionery products, and in branded trains and “SV” cars of all categories - at the request of passengers at any time of the day; maintain the presence of hot water in the boiler and cooled water in the water cooler; remove bedding after passengers disembark, etc. According to the conductor’s instructions, in exceptional cases, with the consent of passengers, it is allowed to remove bedding no earlier than 30 minutes before passengers arrive at the railway station for disembarkation.

If you disagree with the actions of your carriage conductor, you can contact the train manager.

As a rule, this situation is most often resolved depending on the specific circumstances. Formally, in accordance with the Rules for the Transportation of Passengers, Baggage and Cargo Luggage, passengers' journeys must begin from the station indicated on the travel document (ticket). At the same time, to improve the quality of service for passengers on trains formed by the Federal Passenger Directorate, passengers are allowed to board at any station after the departure station indicated on the ticket, subject to the validity of the ticket and payment of the fare along the route.

Tickets are refunded upon presentation of passenger identification documents. When returning tickets in domestic Russian traffic, the passenger receives the following:
- if the ticket is returned up to 8 hours before the train departure - the full fare;
- when returning a ticket from 8 to 2 hours before train departure - 100% of the ticket price and 50% of the cost of a reserved seat;
- when returning a ticket from 2 hours before train departure to 12 hours after departure - 100% of the ticket price.

When returning tickets on interstate routes:
- if the ticket is returned up to 24 hours before the train departure - the full fare;
- when returning a ticket from 24 to 6 hours before train departure - 100% of the ticket price and 50% of the cost of a reserved seat;
- when returning a ticket from 6 hours before train departure to 3 hours after departure - 100% of the ticket price.

Commissions and other fees (except for insurance) paid when purchasing tickets are not refunded to the passenger. There is a fee for ticket return operations.

You can already buy a train ticket in Russia and Ukraine without leaving your home and pay for it by bank card Online. For most trains in Russia, you can select the “Electronic check-in” function and come to boarding only with a document proving your identity (the number of which is indicated on the ticket), as well as a printed document itinerary receipt electronic ticket (with barcode). Such trains are indicated on our service with a special marker.

If electronic check-in for a train is not possible, you must obtain a paper ticket at the station using a printout of the electronic ticket (or its number) and a document proving your identity.

Ticket sales begin 45 days before the train departure date (for some trains - 60 days). However, it is often impossible to buy tickets for peak destinations (for example, in the summer towards the Black Sea) just a few hours after the start of sales for 45 days.

However, this does not mean that there are no tickets and there will not be any. It happens that it is impossible to buy tickets for such trains a month before departure, but you can easily buy them one day before departure. The reason is the numerous reservations that prevent ordinary passengers from accessing the bulk of the tickets.

The timing of ticket cancellations may vary; often additional carriages are attached to the train, for which ticket sales begin immediately. The only thing we can recommend is to monitor the availability of tickets for your desired destination every day.

The ticket can be reissued for a previously departing train or for another train carriage. Tickets can be reissued only if there are less than 24 hours left before the departure of the train for which the ticket is being reissued. When reissuing tickets, the travel route cannot be changed (with the exception of train departure or arrival stations).

A fee will be charged for re-issuing a ticket. In addition, if the cost of a new ticket exceeds the cost of the old one, the passenger pays the difference in price. If the cost of a new ticket is less than the cost of the old one, then the difference is returned to the passenger, but only if the ticket was purchased in Russia.

Re-issuance of travel documents for another person or for later trains is not possible.

Only tickets from Russia to Russia sold in Russia to carriages of the Russian formation are subject to restoration. A lost ticket can be restored in one of the following places: at the train departure station, at the sales station, at the destination station. An application for ticket reinstatement must be addressed to the station duty officer. The passenger must present the document for which the ticket was issued (or a police certificate if his ticket was stolen along with his passport), indicate the departure date (the main details for finding information about the ticket, except for the last name) and the travel route. The recovery process takes 1–2 hours, so you should contact us in advance. A duplicate ticket issued to a passenger cannot be returned or reissued. Once a duplicate is issued, the original ticket is also non-refundable.

From July 1, 2003 for a single trip Russian citizens between the Kaliningrad region and the rest of the Russian Federation, a mechanism for processing and issuing a special Simplified Railway Travel Document (STR Railway) was introduced.

Railway UTD is issued by railway cashiers, who simultaneously send a request to the consular department of the Embassy of the Lithuanian Republic in Moscow. A transit permit is issued while traveling on the train until the passenger crosses the border with the Republic of Lithuania. Before departure, the passenger can obtain information about whether he is allowed transit at the railway ticket offices equipped with the Express system. Registration of UPD Railway is free of charge. All of the above does not apply to citizens who have a visa of the Republic of Lithuania to cross its border.

The main document for crossing the borders of the Republic of Lithuania and issuing a railway document is a foreign passport. Such a trip is impossible with a regular Russian passport. Tickets to the Kaliningrad region and back are sold only at the box office; they cannot be issued via the Internet (but you can check the cost and availability there).

You can find out more about the rules of travel to Kaliningrad on the official website of JSC Russian Railways.

Transportation on trains of all categories of small pets, dogs and birds is allowed in excess of the established carry-on baggage allowance in all carriages (except for carriages with double compartments (SV) and luxury carriages) subject to a veterinary certificate and payment for transportation.

Small pets, dogs and birds are transported in boxes, baskets, cages, containers, which must be placed in places intended for hand luggage.

When transporting small domestic animals, dogs and birds, their owners or accompanying persons must ensure compliance with the sanitary and hygienic regime in the carriage. It is not permitted to transport wild animals as hand luggage on trains and carriages of all categories.

Learn more about the rules for transporting animals on trains long distance You can find it on the website of JSC Russian Railways.

Passengers have the right to carry with them free of charge one child under the age of 5 years, if he does not occupy separate place, as well as children aged 5 to 10 years old, paying in accordance with the child ticket rate. For children over 10 years old, travel documents (tickets) are purchased as for adults. The child's age is determined on the day the trip begins.

For all children, including those under five years of age, it is necessary to obtain a ticket (in some cases free) from the railway ticket office before the start of the trip.

Special services when traveling with organized group children are not allowed on Russian Railways trains (with the exception of special children's trains assigned at the request of regions for the organized transportation of large groups of children to vacation spots).

Important: When traveling on a long-distance train with a child, you must have the original of his birth certificate with you (for children over 14 years old - a passport). Without the original document, a child has the right to be denied boarding the train.

The letter in the train number is an integral part of the number and allows you to distinguish trains with the same numerical number, but the following ones, for example, in different directions. Example: train 102A - direction Moscow-St. Petersburg, train 102M - direction Moscow-Adler, train 102C - Adler-Moscow. It may also be that trains with the same numeric number, but with different letters, go in the same direction. This means that either one or another train is coming, and they differ in some way from each other (for example, in the crews serving them).

Theoretically, in a carriage with services, maximum comfort should be created for the passenger: food, bed linen, toiletries, cleaning, possibly air conditioning - all this is included in the ticket price. Nevertheless, it is quite difficult to predict in advance what from this list will ultimately be “included” in the compartment.

If your passport is being exchanged, you can buy a ticket using any other identification document, for example, a foreign passport, military ID, or service ID. If there are no other identification documents, you should take a certificate from the police in the appropriate form stating that the passport is being exchanged. If the ticket has already been purchased using a passport that is to be changed, then you need to take a certificate from the police stating that the passport with the specified number has been surrendered.

No, such information is not provided to anyone except law enforcement agencies.

A technical stop is a stop that is included in the train schedule due to a possible technological need - for example, if a faster train needs to pass or a locomotive needs to be changed. It is not possible to buy a ticket to and from technical stops - in some cases the train may simply pass the technical stop.

In 2006, JSC Russian Railways introduced a division of compartments into “male”, “female” and “mixed” compartments in a number of trains and carriages. Tickets for men's compartments were sold only to men, and for women's compartments only to women. Mixed coupes were intended for married couples, families with children and passengers who do not want to get into “gender-specific” compartments. However, during the experiment a number of controversial issues, and the scale of introduction of separate compartments was significantly reduced.

In Russia, on long-distance trains, bicycles are allowed to be carried as part of the established hand luggage allowance in disassembled and packaged form, if their size can be placed in places intended for hand luggage. Please also keep in mind that they are not allowed for transportation. hand luggage things that may damage or contaminate the carriage or the belongings of other passengers.

This is a rather serious question that does not have a definitive answer. The currently valid Regulations on the conduct of television, video, film and photography at public railway transport infrastructure facilities owned by JSC Russian Railways, approved by the order of JSC Russian Railways Railways» No. 1513r dated July 18, 2008, does not apply to filming intended for personal use and carried out in passenger service areas at train stations, stations, stopping points, which do not interfere with or create inconvenience or danger for the movement of passengers. A more detailed response from the Russian Prosecutor's Office on this matter can be found here: part 1, part 2, part 3. This way you can take pictures. However, be prepared that not all security staff may be familiar with these instructions and you may be expected unpleasant conversation. Also, be sure that you are not photographing a secret or closed object (again, stations and trains do not fall into this category).
