Ticket Classes on Russian Trains

Generally there are three different ticket classes for overnight or long distance trains, these are:

• First class, a private cabin with two separate beds, a small table and a luggage storage area.
• Second class, a four berth private cabin with two sets of bunk beds, a small table and a luggage storage area.
• Third class, an open carriage with up to 50 "shelves" for sleeping.

You may also on certain trains opt for "with services" - this means that you will have bedding prepared for you and on some trains you will receive a meal in your cabin and on some routes free alcoholic and soft drinks.

In some cases, women travelling alone prefer to be in the third class rather than in a private compartment with strangers.
