At the end of the year, I will tell you about my travel experience in luxury wagons Russian railways.
So, this summer I had the need for an urgent trip with the whole family (me, husband and baby) from Sochi to central Russia. And due to the specifics of the direction, it was necessary to go either by rail or by car. After weighing all the pros and cons, we came to the conclusion that we have only one option left - the train.
There was about a week left before the start of the trip. And it was necessary to decide how to organize the trip in the most optimal (comfortable and inexpensive) way? Agree, not every sane parent agrees to play roulette and go in a compartment familiar to everyone with all its risks, and even more so in a reserved seat. In the summer, trains to the Sochi direction are always crowded, and therefore the chances of grabbing something from the set of "snoring-socks-fumes-doshirak-nonsense-egg-etc." very large.
That is why I began to look for the solution to my equation on the Russian Railways website, and after 5 minutes, clapping my hands for joy, I convinced my husband of the need to turn a blind eye to the price for the sake of the comfort offered. And I found "Luxury Car": http://pass.rzd.ru/static/public/ru?STRUCTURE_ID=5217
Here you have no neighbors, and a large bed (so comfortable for sleeping with a baby), and your own toilet with a shower, and climate control, and much, much more. So many that I wanted to close my eyes to the cost of a ticket - 13,600 rubles per person one way! It's good that they took one way ...
Some doubt was pecking inside that in the abbreviation RZD R - these are Russian, which means that everything cannot be so sweet. Okay, let's see...
But in the car, the first thing that caught my eye was that it was quite ordinary, and instead of the maximum 5 promised compartments per car, they were inside like in an ordinary compartment. I immediately thought - where did they hide the toilets then? Having entered my compartment, and putting things down, I realized that no one was hiding anything here - we were in a USUAL compartment car, perhaps without upper shelves. But there was even a ladder to the top shelf! Where to climb it?!
Being in a slightly shocked state, I checked the ticket, and it says in black and white that our car is LUX. It remained to find out the truth from the dear guide. And then it turned out that it was with us ... SV! If anyone has traveled by SV wagons, he knows how it differs from a compartment - not only in the absence of an upper shelf. I opened the RZD website on my tablet to make sure I hadn't completely lost my mind. And then the conductor (apparently, this case is far from the first for him) says: “Well, look here at the bottom of the page it is indicated that the luxury compartments are designated (attention !!!) by the letter M - soft. And this is your Lux - then there is an ordinary SV. To my shocked “But this car is not a SV, but an ordinary compartment without upper shelves,” the conductor only skillfully spread his hands and said: “Well, what is it.” At that moment, all the anger that existed in me wanted to splash out on this dear person. But he has nothing to do with it. You should look for traces in the management of this red-and-white crooked monopolist. Thanks to the conductor and for the story about how and where to book the SOFT car correctly!
As a result of this trip, we had to seal the air conditioner with a garbage bag several times so that the child would not freeze over (in the miracle car, the air conditioner does not decrease and does not turn off when the outside temperature is above 25), stay up all night and monitor the baby’s sleep (fit with him on a narrow the bunk is impossible, and left unattended too - there are no handrails). The chef finished us off with his delicacies of student cuisine for a couple of thousand for two.
The result of the trip is a destroyed nervous system and a crazy night for (only) almost a thousand US dollars!
Thoughts about the way back for 2 whole weeks did not let me sleep peacefully - it would be almost impossible even for seasoned parents to experience such stress again.
Therefore, using the advice of the conductor, we found another train with soft seats. The cost there was already entirely for the entire compartment - a little less than 26.000. And until the very trip, it was embarrassing that it was lower than the first tickets to the miracle-SV.
But, having entered the car, we were able to calmly exhale - it was the very LUX! With a large bed (in fact, the second one turned out to be almost the same) with excellent mattresses and linen, an armchair, a toilet with a shower, with climate control and heating (it got colder in those days). And even though the carriage still resembled a mix of two such Soft compartments and the rest of the "type" SV, we drove calmly and with pleasure.
We were amused by 2 points: the first is the words of the head of this railway that we are now in a mobile 5-star hotel (either he has never been to such, or he mixed up with cognac); and the second is that at the end of the journey along the chain, the air conditioner did not work, then the boiler or the drain in the toilet bowls (as soon as one thing was repaired, the second was immediately cut down - and so on in a circle).
So my advice, friends - when traveling by rail, be on the lookout and don't fall for the blunt bait of these scam monopolists. And have a nice trip to all!
Sedentary, compartment, SV, soft) one more was added - suite. This is the highest level of comfort. The Russian Railways luxury car is everything that a passenger can wish for on the way. This one involves VIP service. So far, few people know what is hidden under the term "luxury car of Russian Railways." Let's try to understand what it is. The cars themselves are classified as soft, but have a different arrangement than those that have been known to Russians since Soviet times. They contain from 4 to 6 compartments. Accordingly, service classes are designated: 4-compartment - 1A, 5-compartment - 1I, 6-compartment - 1M. Otherwise, these rolling stocks are called luxury cars. There, comfort is formed on the principle of "all inclusive", that is, the ticket price includes travel to the destination station, meals, various amenities and other benefits.
Luxury car compartment
Each has a toilet room, which is equipped with everything you need. It has a dry closet, which can be used even during stops, a washbasin, a shower and a “warm floor”. The living space of the compartment is equipped with an individual air conditioning system (with the possibility of heating the room), there is a radio, TV and DVD player. The luxury car is equipped with individual safes for storing valuables. The passenger can call the conductor with a special call. Each compartment has two beds, one of which (1.2 meters wide) turns into a sofa. The second place, 0.9 meters wide, is the traditional "second shelf". In 4-compartment carriages there is a salon-bar where you can drink tea, coffee, soft drinks and alcoholic drinks.
Catering for luxury car passengers
The ticket price includes meals on the way. There are at least five different dishes on the menu, which will be prepared by the chef of the dining car. The dishes are quite varied. It can be borsch or okroshka, or pancakes with strawberry jam, casserole or dumplings - the choice is left to the passenger. If the train follows several days, the menu is updated every day. Top quality products: mineral water in glass bottles, natural juices, alcoholic drinks only of premium quality. The table is served with linen napkins, cupronickel cutlery, branded crockery.
Extra comfort level
The Russian Railways luxury car is constantly being cleaned, but, of course, not to the detriment of the comfort and tranquility of passengers. More experienced conductors who have undergone additional training to escort VIP passengers work in such cars. Clients are provided with a complete hygiene kit: terry bathrobes, slippers, towels, napkins, cotton buds and discs, dental and shaving kits, soap, shampoo, shower cap, that is, everything that may be needed for body hygiene. In cars with 4 compartments, instead of a regular shower, shower cabins are equipped. Passengers are offered the latest press. The carriages were designed by well-known designers, so the interior of the premises is very imposing. Passengers immediately appreciated the dignity of the Russian Railways luxury car. Photos testify to its comfort and design refinements.
Conditions for purchasing tickets
In the luxury car of Russian Railways, tickets are purchased under slightly different conditions than in others. Firstly, the coupe in it is sold entirely under one name. Thus, the possibility of random fellow travelers on the road is completely excluded. But, although one person buys a ticket, two people can ride in a compartment. The second person does not have travel documents. Also, a child can ride in the compartment. In domestic trains - up to 10 years, and, for example, in Helsinki - up to 6 years. In the direction of Berlin, Paris or Nice, you can buy the entire compartment, or you can buy only a seat in it. If two adults are traveling in a compartment, one child under the age of 12 can travel free of charge. If one adult is traveling in a compartment, then you can take two children with you on the road, also up to 12 years old. When transporting children, the compartment is redeemed in full, the ticket is issued for one person, indicating the name and information about identity documents. If three adults are traveling in a compartment, the third passenger's ration is paid additionally in accordance with the fares of the dining car.
Travel in comfort
The Russian Railways luxury car is very popular. Since its inception, passenger turnover has decreased to 2%, while in more comfortable rolling stock it has increased by almost 5%. Enhanced comfort carriages are primarily designed to be included in branded and tourist trains. They are equipped with a pressurized system of cold and hot water supply. Constantly renewed supply of water - more than 1000 liters. The heating system is combined: from a heater on liquid fuel and from heating elements. type. The luxury car is completely autonomous and may not replenish supplies within 10 days.
Cars in the trains of Russian Railways are divided into several types, depending on the number of seats and the level of comfort. For most types of wagons, Tutu.ru has a seat map.
seated wagon
In the sitting car there are separately standing soft chairs with armrests. It resembles the cabin of an airplane or an intercity bus, but here it is significantly more space. It is better to take a ticket for a sit-down car when the trip lasts several hours. So you won't get tired. These are, for example, day express trains between Moscow and St. Petersburg or Nizhny Novgorod and Kirov.
Seated cars vary greatly in location and number of seats, as well as service classes. Therefore, there is no single scheme for them. For example, the figure shows the scheme of the train car No. 102YA Moscow - Yaroslavl.
On Tutu.ru, in the "Trains" section, there are seat maps for many sit-down trains, including popular and. When buying a train ticket (on the seat selection page), for some trains, the direction of travel is indicated. This allows you to choose comfortable seats so as not to drive backwards.
High-speed train "Strizh", 1st class car
Econom-class train
This is the most popular type of carriage due to the low price of tickets. There are 54 seats in the car - 9 compartments with 6 beds. Two top, two bottom and two side. There are no doors between the compartments, they are all connected by a common corridor. All the bottom places are odd-numbered, and the top ones are even-numbered.
Seats 37 to 54 are "sides", they are shorter than the seats in the block of 4. Seats 33 to 38 are near the toilet. Here, the slamming of the door leading to the corridor and unpleasant odors can interfere.
In compartments 3 (seats 9-12) and 6 (seats 21-24) the windows do not open. This is true for older trains without air conditioning. In new trains, ventilation works normally.
Usually there are two toilets in the car, there is titanium with boiling water for brewing tea. Each compartment is equipped with tables, on the sides a table and two seats are obtained if the lower shelf is expanded. There is a lot of space for luggage in the reserved seat - these are compartments under the lower seats and third shelves.
In a fully occupied reserved seat, it can be stuffy and cramped (especially on the side seats). Second-class carriages in branded trains are cleaner and more comfortable: there is air conditioning and a dry closet, more sockets.
A second-class carriage in the branded train of Russian Railways
Shared wagon
Usually this is a reserved seat car with three seats on each lower shelf, including the lower side ones. This car has several serious drawbacks.
Firstly, reserved seats are not suitable for long sitting - due to the lack of a soft back and headrest. Secondly, a feeling of tightness is created - there are no armrests that separate people from each other. Finally, in most cases, in the general carriage, all tickets are sold without a seat - whoever managed to do it earlier took the best seats.
This is the least comfortable type of carriage, but the ticket to it is also the cheapest.
Compartment carriage
In a compartment car, there are usually 32 or 36 seats, divided into compartments with four seats in each. There are cars with 38 seats, where seats 37-38 are a double compartment. The bottom places are odd and the top places are even. The compartments are isolated from each other and are locked. There are folding chairs in the common corridor.
The compartment has a mirror, a table, hangers and hooks for clothes, as well as a night lamp for each passenger. Unlike the reserved seat, there is no third shelf in the compartment - it is replaced by a niche for luggage under the ceiling. Therefore, you can sit freely on the top shelf in the compartment.
Coupe is one of the most popular types of carriages due to the combination of price and comfort. There are fewer people in the car, extraneous conversations do not interfere, and personal belongings are safe. In the compartment car, similarly to the reserved seat, there are two toilets and titanium. But in a compartment there are fewer queues for the toilet compared to a reserved seat, since much fewer passengers ride in such a car.
Often, the upper shelves in a compartment can be bought at the price of a reserved seat. In some carriages, when buying a ticket, you can choose the type of compartment. Both men and women can ride in a mixed compartment, and only women can ride in a women's compartment. The type of compartment is determined by the passenger who bought the ticket first.
Compartment in the carriage of the private carrier JSC "TKS"
Luxury car (SV)
SW is sleeping car. It has from 8 to 10 compartments with 2 beds, both are located below. But there are suites (SV) with an upper and lower seat, but in such a compartment there are also only 2 seats. The standard suite has 18 beds. Suite (SV) is more comfortable than a compartment car, as it does not have upper shelves. On the lower shelves there is a soft back for sitting.
In terms of the level of service, the SV is better than a compartment car - the suite usually has a call button for the conductor, air conditioning, and some trains also have a TV. Depending on the carrier company, passengers are provided with a different set of services (food, drinks, travel kit, press, linen). For example, the carrier TKS JSC has high-quality wagons and high level service.
Suite (SV) is convenient for a family or romantic trip, when you can buy all compartments. The main disadvantage of SV is the price of travel. It is usually 3-4 times higher than in a reserved seat and 1.5-2 times higher than in a compartment. A trip to NE will cost more expensive than an airplane for a similar distance.

soft wagon
In a soft car there can be 4, 5 or 6 compartments. The layout of the compartment itself and the furnishings in it also vary greatly. Each compartment has 1 or 2 beds. If there are two places, then the lower one is a sofa that converts into a bed 120 cm wide. The compartments themselves are similar to suites, but differ in larger area.
The soft car is equipped at the level of a 3-4-star hotel: each compartment has a dry closet, washbasin, shower, air conditioning, TV, soft sofa and armchair. Here they always serve a hot breakfast, give out a shower set, a bathrobe and a terry towel, and the latest press. The soft carriages are equipped with a bar.
Of the minuses - the high price, significantly exceeding the cost of a plane ticket.

International carriage with 4-seater compartments
In terms of comfort, four-seater compartments international routes similar to conventional compartment cars in the territory of the Russian Federation. But, as a rule, new cars go abroad, so they have a lot of pleasant little things (for example, a board with a running line in the corridor).
Another compartment in such a carriage can turn into a suite if you raise the upper shelves. Depending on the route, the carriage may have a shared shower, while the compartment may have air conditioning, individual lighting for each seat, and sockets.

International carriage with 3-seater compartments
Some international trains have triple compartments. In total, there are 33 seats in such a car. In the compartment, all three berths are located one under the other on one side. Such compartments can be used as doubles - the middle shelf remains in the raised position.
They are smaller than 4-seat coupes and can feel cramped. When there are three passengers in it, they are all forced to sit or lie down together, since it is impossible to sit with the middle shelf lowered. Therefore, cars with 3-seater compartments are now used very rarely.
It is pleasant to ride in such a compartment only if you buy all three seats together and raise the middle shelf. Of the amenities they may have (but not in all compartments) an armchair, a table, a washbasin and a wardrobe.
