Because this is not easy for everyone. Many remain “dummies” even after five trips, because the “sort out on the spot” method is not for them. It is better for them to have clear and understandable ready-made schemes.
Buying a ticket
The ticket can be bought at the ticket office of the station of the desired direction, at the terminal in the station and via the Internet. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. In any case, you should register on the Russian Railways website, and also buy tickets in advance: firstly, until the cheaper ones are bought, and secondly, if in two months, then the tickets themselves are cheaper.
If you are wealthy enough not to think about the price of tickets, find yourself a student for 500 rubles who will help you deal with tickets and save yourself some nerves.
The Russian Railways website is good because, wherever you buy tickets, you can quickly see what trains and what seats they have, this will reduce the annoying fuss at the ticket office or at the terminal.
It is a little more expensive to buy through the site and you have to pay with a bank card, but on the other hand, you will not have to worry about the crowd behind you and from attempts to formulate what you need.
At the terminal, payment is also made by card, and there will probably be a line to it, but you will not have to talk to anyone, just press the buttons.
With the cash register, everything is probably clear. There you can pay in cash or by card, the cashier answers any questions related to tickets, the main thing is to say on what date and in which direction you need trains.
The site also allows you to keep track of promotions and discounts, which usually occur on Tuesday. Do not be lazy to look into the corresponding menu, if you are always pleased to save money.
When you look at the train schedule, remember that the day starts at midnight and ends at midnight. Sometimes it may seem that there are no tickets for the desired evening, but it is worth putting the next day as the date, and you will find out that at 00.05 at night there is just a place on the train of the desired direction.
Also remember that the Russian Railways time in any part of Russia is identical to Moscow time, and according to the schedule, a train in your city can leave at four in the morning local time.
Some e-tickets must be printed on terminals. Take a look at the png or pdf file that is attached to your ticket description.
Remember that the ticket must be for the document that you 100% take on the trip. There were times when they bought a ticket for an ordinary passport, and tried to sit down using a passport.
By the way, with a ticket, including a printed one, you can visit the toilet at the station for free in the last hour before the train leaves and within an hour after arrival.
Seat selection
Most of the passengers travel in ordinary compartments, in a reserved seat carriage or in seats. The first is more expensive than the second, as for the third, it all depends on the train. Express trains like Sapsan are very expensive places, but then they arrive in four hours: in the morning they sat down, in the afternoon on the spot.
There will be no more than three adults in a compartment with you (although a couple of preschool children are possible to them), but it is impossible to guess what kind of adults they will be and how unsafe it is with them in the same room. Sometimes you get lucky and you go in a compartment all alone.
In a reserved seat car, the most secluded places are the side ones, especially the upper ones. On the lower ones, according to the rules of courtesy, before the lights out and after the rise, you will have to let the neighbors from above. But in order to feel comfortable on the top shelf, a certain dexterity and small dimensions are required. However, tall people often also prefer the upper bunks, so that when they lie down, people notice their legs in the aisle, and do not bump into them.
The cheapest places, of course, are by the toilet, but from time to time people start pushing and the door slams over the ear all the time. And sometimes smells come through.
In a seated carriage, sometimes it is possible to lie across two seats, but do not really hope for it. And the ride in it will be a real torment if you have problems with the spine.
Sometimes you can buy tickets for express trains or trains superior comfort at the price of reserved seats. These trains have enough sockets, you can watch a movie on TV, sometimes they give out lunch and there may be coffee machines.
Ah, yes, take night tickets with linen, otherwise you will have to buy on the spot.
Collecting things
It is very inconvenient to change clothes on trains. What replaces your pajamas can be worn under your regular clothes. Some find it easier to sleep without changing their clothes, especially if a shower is available on site shortly after arrival.
Take an extra sheet or a large shawl if you want to curtain your seat and feel more intimate.
Traveling in a seated carriage will be facilitated by an inflatable travel pillow and something that can be slipped under the lower back. A thin, compactly rolled blanket will also make travel more comfortable.
In winter, it might make sense to bring your slippers with you to go to the bathroom without wearing your boots every time. Disposable or washable plastic are best. Take a bag, too, to pack the slippers, not to put them on clean things.
Wet wipes or a combination of a bottle of water and a towel (if you took a ticket with linen, the towel is included there) will help you to put yourself in order in the morning quickly, without waiting in line to the toilet. In addition, it can be stuffy on the upper shelves, if you wipe your face and neck, it will be easier.
In a hot summer in a car without air conditioning, a simple cheap fan from a kiosk can save you. It weighs practically nothing and does not take up space.
Handkerchiefs can be very useful too. Not only for its intended purpose, but also in order, for example, to quickly wipe up spills on the table or on yourself.
There are people who prefer to sleep in a lightweight hoodie in case the air conditioner is working too hard. It is worth taking socks with you, even if you are traveling on the hottest day. It can be colder in the evening.
Powerbank and headphones are a great idea. And also a notebook and a pen.
A bottle or two of drinking water, always small. Familiar food, if you want to save money or are afraid to find yourself in a situation of choosing between cookies and chips.
Don't forget about your toothbrush and toothpaste. Even if you disdain to brush your teeth in the train toilet, but the trip will last no more than a day, you can brush your teeth in a cafe on the spot, for example, it is usually cleaner there.
Hairbrush, spare hair bands. In general, try to think about what little things you need to achieve comfort and put yourself in order.
An analgesic, an antihistamine, an adhesive plaster, hydrogen peroxide and a remedy for diarrhea are loyal friends of the traveler.
And, of course, don't forget your passport and policy.
Stacking things
The number of things should be such that you can carry them yourself, even if you are sure that they will put you here, and there they will meet you.
It is better to pack clothes by winding them up in dense rolls, and not folding them, as in a closet. By the way, it crumples less in rolls.
What you will be taking out on the train, put on top of your suitcase or backpack, or even better - in a separate small bag. Inside the bag, things are best distributed in several different-looking, voluminous cosmetic bags. For men it will also be convenient, cosmetic bags can be very neutral in appearance.
Boarding the train
On the ticket, electronic or regular, the carriage and train number are indicated. In the station building at the exit to the trains there is a scoreboard, on the part dedicated to departing trains, opposite the number of your train will be the platform number. If not yet, then the train has not arrived either.
If your eyesight and speech understanding deteriorate from excitement, take a picture of the arrival board on your smartphone and look at the necessary information by bringing the picture closer to your screen.
The number of the carriage is most often indicated on a plate in the carriage window closest to one of the doors.
Try to arrive at the train no later than 10 minutes before it leaves. No trains are waiting.
If the ticket is paper and in your hands, and the train is about to leave, do not run to your carriage, ask the conductor nearest to you to let in, and then reach the desired carriage inside the train. This is almost always possible.
Approaching your carriage, prepare your passport and ticket (if it is not electronic) in advance.
The top places have even numbers.
Having passed to your place, sit quietly and sit until everyone enters, otherwise you will interfere with people or you will have to twitch all the time. If, of course, you have a bulky suitcase, you should immediately remove it. If your seat is up and you don't know how to lower it, find someone who has successfully lowered his seat next to him and ask permission to sit there for now.
It will be more convenient for you to navigate if you look at the carriage diagram on the Internet in advance and understand where you should be: near the toilet, near the conductor or in the middle.
Small plaques with seat numbers are located either to the left of the compartment doors, or on the partitions in the reserved seat carriage near the lower seats. In seated cars, they can be near overhead racks or on seat backs.
You can try lowering your shelf yourself if it is up. The upper shelf in the reserved seat is held by small metal things sticking out of the wall. If you gently press on it, it folds, and the shelf can pass by it. In the compartment, the lower shelf is held by an unfolded staircase near the door; while holding the edge of the seat, fold down the ladder and gently lower the seat into place.
The lower side seat in a reserved seat carriage is a folding table and two armchairs. To turn the table into a bed by attaching it to the chairs, lift the edge of the table and slide it towards the window, then turn the soft side up. To turn the middle of the bed back into a table, hook a soft tongue near the wall and lift the table behind it, turn it over with the hard side up and try to hit the special clips with the edge at the window.
Unfolding things
If you do not have anything particularly heavy with you, then usually the passengers in the lower seats take up space under their seat with luggage, and the upper ones - shelves for things (there are still blankets there). If you have a heavy suitcase, you shouldn't drag it upstairs anyway. If the space under the lower seat is already occupied by a neighbor, ask permission to put the suitcase under the seat of the neighbor opposite.
Shoes are left under the lower seat so that they do not interfere with the neighbor and do not protrude into the aisle.
The shelf in the heads or above the middle of your seat is very convenient for folding small things, but you refrain if you know that you can in a hurry to forget something or in general the person is absent-minded. Glasses, hairbrushes, smartphones and cosmetic bags are constantly rake from these shelves in the depot.
Immediately distribute the bags that you do not intend to climb into, and fold them so that it would be inconvenient to climb inside without pulling out the bag. Hang the bag with what you will take out during the trip on the hook, then you can put it behind the pillow when you make the bed. Hang your outerwear on the same hook and don't leave anything of value in your pockets.
Bed
Usually on top spot there are two mattresses rolled around the pillows and two bags of linen, and blankets on the shelves for things under the very ceiling.
If you intend to lie down immediately (but by the way, wait while the conductor checks everyone's tickets), then take one of the mattresses down. If you are traveling in the upper seat, in a reserved seat carriage, put it on the side, standing on one of the seats bottom seat, otherwise, put it flat. Move your mattress to the end of the bed so that it is convenient for you to roll it out, as if unfolding a pillow. The mattress roller in the initial position lies on its edge, turned by this edge to the wall. Before rolling it out, if it is on the top shelf, find the iron brace at the edge of the bed and lift it upright. She will hold the mattress so that it does not crawl and curl down with you.
Open your underwear set. Immediately find and put a towel on the shelf in your heads, take out a pillowcase and put it on the pillow. This leaves a sheet and a duvet cover or two sheets. You neatly lay out one on the mattress, filling first from the outside, then from the inside. If it is in the top place, it will be more convenient to fill the far edge when you have already climbed up. You spread the second one on top and put a blanket, if necessary. If you feel uncomfortable with stuffing it into your duvet cover, then you don't have to.
If the laundry in the bag is wet (this is very rare), go to the conductor or, if there is no neighbor, open another bag.
If your upstairs or downstairs neighbor has started to make the bed before you, do not push with him, but wait until he finishes. According to the rules of politeness, the one who rides on top first creeps, but not everyone knows this.
To get into the bed on the upper seat, the compartment has special small ladders for the legs and a bracket on top to grab the hand. There is also a brace in the reserved seat at the top, by the window, and you need to climb up the tiny iron steps on both sides of the passage through the car.
Food and drink
The most expensive way to buy them is at the train station, a little cheaper - on the train itself. Experienced travelers take with them lunchboxes with ready-made food, preferably one that is difficult to scatter all over the carriage, for example, sandwiches and whole vegetables. It would be nice if the food is not very dirty. It is better to take drinks in small bottles, with a large one it can be inconvenient to tinker with, especially in the upper place. If you are afraid to pour tea from an ordinary glass, but would like to drink hotter on the train, take a thermo mug.
Boiling water is free, it doesn't matter if you bought something from the guide. These are the rules of Russian Railways!
An expensive ticket may or may not include lunch or breakfast. In "Sapsan" food is sold from carts, which the conductors carry around the wagons, and this, of course, is not cheap. Most regular trains have a dining car, you can ask the conductor about its availability and location. In addition, you can buy bagged coffee, tea bag, instant noodles and all sorts of snacks from the guides themselves. On double-decker trains, coffee and snacks can be bought on the ground floor from the vending machine.
If the conductor did not pour you tea himself, but only gave you a glass and a bag, you can ask him to pour boiling water, usually they do not refuse, or try to find a faucet yourself near a large iron thing with boiling water inside - you will see this, you will immediately recognize it without additional descriptions.
By the way, if you are embarrassed to talk to the guide, write him questions on a piece of paper. Do not be afraid to look strange, he will decide that you have either laryngitis or you are mute. What difference does it make to him, in the end, in what form he receives the question - he will still answer.
Sometimes the train makes long stops at intermediate stations. They are usually indicated on the individual train schedule on the website or on a plate near the conductor's door. There you can go out and buy hot food. The main thing is to keep track of the time and return on time.
Restroom
Toilets are usually located on both sides of the car, if only one - you can figure it out on the spot.
The best toilets are in "Sapsan" and similar new express trains, in reserved seats and ordinary seated carriages, there are two types of options: a dry closet or a toilet with a hole on the street. The toilet will be made of iron there and there. The difference will be that you cannot throw used paper into the first one and the flush is performed with a special button, and in the second - with a pedal, which is easy to find with your foot to the right of the toilet bowl near the floor. It is necessary to press the sole on the very edge of it, so it rinses off better.
Do not try to go to the toilet without shoes, open the door and realize that you have to run back to put on your shoes. Be sure to take your purse with you to the toilet, in which you have your passport, wallet and devices. Theft doesn't happen as often as it scares, but it's not worth playing the lottery.
The toilet is almost always cold, except for very warm summer days. The stool doesn't go down, don't try. You can try to stand on the old toilet with your feet if you are confident in your sense of balance - there are even special extensions for the soles. But you better look around to see if there are disposable paper seats in the booth. Apply two or three at once, then it will be more or less comfortable.
If there are no disposable seats, roll off the toilet paper strips, lay them out neatly on the toilet seat, and try not to brush them off when you sit down. But in general, you can buy seats in advance and take a dozen with you.
To wash your hands, you usually have to press down on the faucet of the sink.
In the case of a dry closet, you may find that the bin is so full that it's scary to add your own. Tear off a lot of paper towels (hanging on the wall), throw them on top of the garbage, and now it's not scary to calm down.
It is much more hygienic to wipe your hands with wet wipes than to use the washbasin in the train toilet.
Feel free to use an air freshener if you have one in the toilet.
If the toilet is of the old type, then it is closed 40 minutes before the stop. They also open 40 minutes after parking. If you go at night, it is better not to wait for the morning, but to get up in the middle of the night and go to the restroom, otherwise in the morning you can stand in a long line and find that you did it in vain.
Conductor
You can ask a guide not only for a cup of tea and a bag of chips. If someone needs an ambulance, this is also for him. If you find an ownerless bag and no one in the carriage recognizes it - also to the conductor, and by the way, try not to touch the bag from the very beginning. You can buy disposable slippers from the guides if you didn't take with you, and complain to them that the toilet paper has run out. Double-decker trains have a paid shower, to use it, you must also go to the conductor. But keep in mind, in the early morning the guides sleep, it is difficult to reach them.
The guide will wake you up half an hour before arrival.
The conductor's room is located near the door through which you boarded the train.
Electrical appliances
If you can not take your laptop with you, do not take it. Various kinds of gadgets on trains are stolen more often than wallets. But a charged power bank will never be superfluous.
It is better to keep your phone and everything small and valuable under your pillow when you sleep.
If you are thinking of using an alarm clock, set a signal in advance that you will definitely react to and which, moreover, will not wake up half of the carriage.
For the most part, there is no connection and Internet between cities, it makes sense to put the phone in flight mode so that it does not run out of power in vain.
The sockets in the reserved seat and the seated carriage are usually in the toilet (it is impolite to use so as not to detain people), near the toilet, near the conductor's door. Sometimes they are still near the places. The compartment cars have sockets in the corridor, and there are folding seats next to them. In seated cars, more expensive sockets can be found at each seat.
If you want to watch a movie from your phone or tablet, do not forget to take headphones so as not to disturb anyone and not attract attention - because of boredom on the trains, many try to strike up a conversation, and any reason may be considered suitable.
Arrival
Make sure all your belongings are collected 20 minutes before arrival. You should be fully dressed 5 minutes before the stop. If you were traveling in a sitting carriage, try to check if something fell under your seat.
If you are traveling in a reserved seat carriage, take the linen out of bed and take it to the conductor. Don't forget the towel.
If you don't like pushing, you become clumsy or uncertain in the crowd, wait until those who are farther from the door come out.
Watch your step when you go out. Sometimes there is a great chance of falling into the gap between the train and the platform and you need to walk wider.
You may need a cafe, toilet or storage room at the station to move on with a refreshed, invigorated coffee and light luggage. It is usually not difficult to use a storage chamber, the automatic instructions are written on, in the usual one the employee will explain everything to you. Make sure that the bag with the necessary remains with you, you do not need to take it to the cell either.
That's all in general. Have a nice trip!

The Leningradsky railway station, located in the capital of Russia, is one of the most popular. It is here that many Russians and even foreigners get on the train to get to the glorious St. Petersburg, as well as to other northern cities.
In addition, there is a suburban service, the terminal station of which is the city of Tver. In order not to have to look for a ticket office for a long time, the necessary platform, a rest room and amenities, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the scheme of the Leningradsky railway station. Below is some useful information.
Guideline according to the scheme
Before the trip, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the layout of the station so that there are no difficulties. Sometimes it seems that everything will go smoothly. But there are various circumstances that force us to act immediately, for example:
- traffic jams on the highway;
- accidents on the street;
- serious malfunction of a train in the subway;
- extreme weather events and other unpleasant events.
Therefore, upon arrival, you have to immediately orient yourself on the spot. The scheme of the Leningradsky railway station prepared in advance in this article will help with this.
To make it clear from which side to start looking, it is advisable to return to the beginning of the article, where the image of the station is placed. The fact is that passengers who meet and see off most often use the front entrance. Exactly the one through which the people in the first photo enter and leave. This entrance is marked on the left by the inscription "Sub.1". To the left of this inscription is the exit from the Komsomolskaya metro station.
To get to the cash desks long distance, you need, having climbed the steps into the building, go a little forward. Left and right there will be glass doors to two checkout halls. To get off to long-distance trains (in the diagram above on the right, they are marked with long black-and-white stripes with odd numbers), you should go straight all the time, without turning anywhere. At the very end of the building there is an exit to the platform. If you need to use the left-luggage office, turn right at the exit to the trains. As you can see, the layout of the Leningradsky railway station is not too complicated, you can quickly navigate on the spot.
Suburban traffic in the diagram above is marked on the right with even numbered paths (black and white short stripes). You can get to them by using the exit from the Komsomolskaya metro station, that is, from the street.
Where can you go?
Leningradskiy railway station in Moscow exists for trips to the following cities:
- St. Petersburg;
- Murmansk;
- Pskov;
- Arkhangelsk;
- Tallinn;
- Helsinki.
When traveling to St. Petersburg, you can buy tickets for the famous branded train "Krasnaya Strela" and "Sapsan".
How to get there?
Now it's worth talking about how to get to the Leningradsky railway station. If you use the metro, you need to be guided by the Komsomolskaya-Koltsevaya station.
Let the scheme of the Leningradsky railway station and small recommendations help every reader to make a successful trip!
15.08.2017 In order not to be late for long-distance trains and commuter trains, you need to know where to goIn connection with the renovation of the Moscow railway station, the scheme of the passage to the trains has changed again. To prevent this from happening to other Nizhny Novgorod residents, the correspondent of the portal investigated the paths of the passages.
After the site told about, the head of the Gorky railroad Anatoly Lesun personally checked the station. And, apparently, "made a rustle."
The next day, the portal's correspondent saw a huge number of employees of the State Railways and the transport police on the territory of the station. Almost everyone readily told how to get to platforms, ticket offices, waiting rooms. From the loudspeakers every two minutes there were messages about trains and the possibility of passage to them.
We all the time tell people where to go, although this is not our responsibility, ”complained one of the employees. - We have other responsibilities.
The tunnel is one!
The most important thing to know. Now the passage to the platforms is closed, both from the tunnel that connects the Moskovskoye Highway with the Revolution Square, and from the tunnel on the Kirov side. This is due to the fact that elevator shafts for low-mobility passengers are being built on the second and third platforms.
Access to all electric trains and trains, except for "Strizh", is possible ONLY through a tunnel that leads to suburban ticket offices.
This tunnel is also open from the side of the Moscow highway through the building of the suburban railway station.
Cash desks and waiting areas
Two waiting rooms are now open. One is located in the building of suburban ticket offices from the side of the Moscow railway station, the second is in the building of the service center. In both, you can wait for long-distance trains and suburban electric trains. For the summer period, a shed was also built near the Service Center. There are benches here, you can hide from the sun and rain.
Exit to "Strizh", three options
Usually "Strizh" departs from platform 1A, which was specially built for the period of repair. You can get to it through the Service Center, through the checkpoint to the existing tunnel and through the additional terminal, which is attached to the station building from the side of the Tsarskoye Pavilion.
It should be borne in mind that from the side of the Moscow highway you will have to go through the tunnel, climb, and go to the platform through the Service Center.
However, as employees of the station reported, sometimes the departure of the "Strizh" is appointed from the third platform. You can get on it, respectively, like on all other trains.
How to get to "Swallow"
These trains, as usual, leave from the sixth, high platform. You can get out on it by going through the tunnel and the checkpoint to the platform. According to a strange logic, passengers boarding the Swallow have to go through the frames of metal detectors and check the contents of their luggage twice - at the entrance to the tunnel or the Prigorodny Station and in front of the platform itself.
This is what did not give Elena Erysheva those few minutes to catch the train on that ill-fated day.
I would have done quite well if it were not for the terribly slow conveyor belt in these devices, - Elena recalls. - After all the running around the station, there were still a few minutes left. But the baggage check was greatly delayed.
People with limited mobility are helped. So they say
One of the station managers told how to get help for people with limited mobility.
In the building of the Service Center there is a window in which the assistant to the head of the station is on duty, - an employee of the State Railways told the website. - In order for our employees to meet and escort a person in a wheelchair or with other difficulties, you need to contact him. We have people who will do it and vehicles. And after the reconstruction, special elevators will work on platforms 2 and 3. They are now building mines on platforms for them.
Natalya Vorozhtsova, head of the corporate communications service of the Georgian Railways, told the website that after the inspection of the station, the management agreed that the information of passengers was not fully organized.
She said that in the near future, additional information boards will be placed at the station and around it. And she even promised that from all stops public transport arrows will be drawn on the asphalt indicating the routes to different trains.
