Passengers

We are constantly expanding and upgrading our domestic and international services to provide maximum comfort and reliability for all our passengers, including new rail-air links, luxury compartments and suburban transit trains.

Russian Railways provides a full range of passenger services in most parts of Russia and a wide variety of international and tourist routes and tours.

We offer many routes serviced by comfortable express trains with high standards of service in First, Second and Third Class coaches and operate 140 high-speed trains daily. These only account for 4% of all our operations at the moment, but we are rapidly expanding the number of express routes.
