Level of comfort: luxury car RZD

In recent years, in addition to the already known types of cars (reserved seat, sedentary, compartment, SW, soft), one more luxury has been added. This is the highest level of comfort. The RZD luxury car is everything a passenger can wish for on the road. This rolling stock involves VIP-service. For the present, few know what hides under the term "railroad car luxury". What is this, let's try to understand. The wagons themselves are qualified as soft, but have a different arrangement than those that are known to Russians since Soviet times. They are located from 4 to 6 coupe. Accordingly, the classes of service are designated: 4-compartment - 1A, 5-compartment - 1I, 6-compartment - 1M. Otherwise, these rolling stock 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, food, various amenities and other benefits.

Coupe car luxury

Each luxury car compartment has a toilet room, which is equipped with everything necessary. It has a bio-toilet, which can be used even during parking, a wash basin, 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, a TV and a DVD player. The luxury car on the train is equipped with a personal safe deposit box to store valuables. A passenger can call a conductor with a special call. In each compartment there are two berths, one of which (width 1.2 meters) turns into a sofa. The second place with a width of 0.9 meters is the traditional "second regiment". In 4-compartment cars there is a lounge bar where you can drink tea, coffee, soft and alcoholic drinks.

Catering for passengers of luxury cars

The price of the ticket includes meals on the way. There are at least five different dishes in the menu that will be prepared by the chef of the dining car. Dishes are quite diverse. It can be borscht or okroshka, pork escalope or pancakes with strawberry jam, casserole or pelmeni - the choice is given to the passenger. If the train follows several days - the menu is updated every day. The quality of products at the height: mineral water in glass bottles, natural juices, alcoholic beverages only of premium quality. The table is served with linen napkins, cupronickel utensils, specialty dishes.

Conditions for purchasing tickets

In Railcar Railways tickets are purchased under slightly different conditions than in others. First, the compartment in it is sold entirely in one name. Thus, the possibility of casual companions on the road is completely excluded. But, although one person buys a ticket, you can go to the compartment together. The second person does not have travel documents. Also in the compartment can go a child. In trains of domestic communication - up to 10 years, and, for example, in Helsinki - up to 6 years. In the direction of Berlin, Paris or Nice you can buy a coupe entirely, and you can only buy a place in it. If two adults are traveling in a compartment, a child under 12 can travel free of charge. If an adult is traveling in a compartment, you can take two children with you on the road, also up to 12 years. When carrying children, the coupe is bought out in full, the ticket is issued for one person, indicating the name and identity documents. If three adults are traveling in a compartment, the third passenger's diet is paid additionally in accordance with the tariffs of the dining car.
