Sleeper train for Moscow-St Petersburg

[LadaRay]

This is 3rd class. Most people would probably travel in private 2nd class compartments.

this looks as bad as the sleeping quarters on a submarine. thanks but not thanks.

@thozzman thats cos its like 3rd class, but if u travel 2nd class its private, these trains are old and most are going out of service :)

umm.. this is 2nd class, in russia they call it "platskart".. there is also third class, or in russian, "coupe", when there are many cabins (with a lockable door), 2 bunk beds, a table, sometimes a little free package with breakfast.

[LadaRay]

@TheFlyingpigy You have it backwards: THIS is 3rd class, the cheapest. 2nd class are private compartments - 4 people, 1st class, private - 2 people.

how safe is it ?

[Ura293]

@faridjabba 100% safe - each long distance train in Russia has security on board- like a plane

[Karthagus]

well I think that this summer I'll take second class or the plane!!!!!

[Burkey80]

third class sleeper i think, it was the only sleepers available for this route and time of train

[Karthagus]

which class is that?

[ainarslt]

it is a platzkart! it is third class

[mckenndk]

why did I bother going second class that did not look too bad
