The speed of the Sapsan train is comparable to the rapid flight of a falcon

On the domestic railways between St. Petersburg and Moscow, new high-speed electric trains run. The speed of the Sapsan train is relatively high. This feature makes it possible to overcome long distances in much shorter periods. Gradually, their work is launched in new directions. The production was handled by the German company Siemens.

What is the speed of the Sapsan train?

The Falcon, in honor of which this car is named, is able to accelerate in flight up to 320 kilometers per hour. Russian railways limit the ability to accelerate to 250 km / h. The maximum speed of the Sapsan train can reach 350 kilometers per hour.

Interesting Facts

45 minutes before departure the train starts landing. After locking the doors, the automation checks the operation of the entire system. Only after this begins the movement. "Peregrine Falcon" is the first Russian train, where the possibility of smoking is completely excluded. Today you can see a whole series of several animated films "Sapsanchik and Friends". Also the train has an account in "Twitter" and its Internet blog.

Engineers of the Sapsanov

The train drivers of this class are responsible, comparable to the work of these pilots. Their duties include the solution of numerous tasks of a rather high level of complexity. Speed characteristics are comparable with the operating modes of airliners during the take-off phase. Only the best candidates are selected for the position of the driver of such a train. To the management of "Peregrine" experts are allowed who have received special training. All the skills of machinists must be worked to perfection.

Wi-Fi in the Sapsan

Since 2012, attempts have begun to equip the train with technical support, which facilitates the possibility of obtaining wireless Internet access. The routers are installed in each car of the Sapsanov. Passengers of business class can use the Internet absolutely free of charge. Citizens traveling in an economical mode are forced to pay access.

Wagon-bistro

The speed of the Peregrine train, as well as streamlined forms, is far from everything that makes it unusual. Each passenger can use a comfortable bistro car. Here you can not just have a snack, but even order a full dinner. Drinks, hot dishes, as well as snacks are available for selection of train passengers.

Transportation of small animals

The speed of the Sapsan train is quite high, but this does not affect the possibility of equipping animals for transportation. Transportation is allowed in cages, baskets or boxes, not exceeding 180 cm when summing length, width and height. It is necessary to have documents from the veterinarian with you. The registration will cost 400 rubles. This is a fixed mandatory fee for issuing an electronic ticket or travel document.

Examination of luggage

Starting with the first launch of the train, each passenger must pass a scan of the things carried. Increased safety during transportation is guaranteed to passengers, despite the short duration of the entire verification procedure.

Hand luggage

Passengers are allowed to carry hand luggage for one ticket. The weight of the cargo must not exceed 36 kilograms, and the sum of all measurements is 180 cm. Above the established norm, you can carry fishing rods, cameras, binoculars, handbags, briefcases, umbrellas and other small things, the size of which is not more than a meter with a general measurement of dimensions.

Oversized equipment can not be loaded as a manual load. Do not accept for transportation other people's things, explosive, flammable, poisonous, flammable, fetid substances. Firearms should be in a holster, case or case separate from cartridges in a discharged state. Only after observing all the above-mentioned rules, passengers can use the Sapsan high-speed train for carrying a small-sized cargo (the speed that it can develop is indicated above).

Group travel

There is a group rate for travel of schoolchildren from 10 to 18 years old, consisting of at least 10 people traveling on a single date, on the same route, on the same train. Registration is made by prior request. There is a group fare for travel of at least 10 children up to 10 years, traveling on the same train, with a single date, along the same route. It is also formalized by prior request.

Conclusion

The possibilities of using the railway as a variant of movement are developing rapidly. One example is the magnificent machines developed by the German manufacturer Siemens. Each passenger will be pleased with comfortable conditions of movement and high speed of the train "Sapsan". The developers proposed a solution to almost all possible problems that arise in the process of overcoming distances, and combined them in one design solution. The new high-speed trains offered to Russian citizens leave the best impressions of the trip.
