Where are the English subtitles? :)) Even without them, the video is very amusing. I'm certain train travel in Russia will be an interesting experience, like everything else there.

Woman, you absolutely must ride the train! I've told you before, it's my favorite way to travel. Comfortable, peaceful, beautiful scenery. As solitary or as friendly an experience as you make it. Maybe because i grew up traveling on trains back and forth from NYC to Long Island, and I spent so much time traveling from NYC to DC and back later in life, but it makes me feel so nostalgic and happy. I love hearing a train in the distance too. It is so romantic. Im not sure what the experience will be in Russia of course, but I recommend taking the Amtrak up the east coast some time, or even out west for some nicer landscapes. I think on the rails would be the perfect way to fall in love.

I think DC - NYC is one of the most popular train routes, at least for business travel. But I have no desire to go to NYC unless forced to. Maybe I could take the train to Vermont one time. Now that's a romantic State, full of great little towns. :)

[amandakysses]

Youre so mean about NYC. It's pretty wonderful. But the same trains that go to NYC go up further north, to Boston, maybe even Maine. You dont even have to get off the train, you can just ride the rails for the experience... Vermont would probably be a really nice ride. Can you take the train up to Canada?

[peacetraveler22]

It's not meanness, I'm just saying I don't like it there. :) Canadian rail journey would be nice. Actually I really want to go there. I'm trying to arrange a long weekend to Toronto in March because it's a short and easy trip to get acquainted with Canada.

I like trains :)

[peacetraveler22]

You rode them overseas or in America? Of course, I've been on metro rails but never long distance train travel.

[rider3099]

When I lived in Ukraine I had a lot of business trips. It was more easy to take a train than plane :)

>>Should I take a train journey during my next visit to Russia? What should I expect about comfort and service levels on Russian trains?

Why not?:)

[peacetraveler22]

You've used the trains a lot? Are they comfortable or outdated?

[yarowind]

Between major cities - yes, it is. On local routes - can be all sorts :)

Простые вещи

[andrey_kaminsky]

I am willing to give you an explanation about those signs. They are intended to inform tourists about the local regulations for use of toilets. The upper sign warns that lavatory pans are large and visitors with lean bottoms must be careful. Lower sign is widespread in catholic countries, but it is intended for men only. The fact is that workers are generally conservative men in matters of sexual minorities. For this reason, while using the urinal a person must keep a distance of not less than arm's length from the neighbor. It is the sign "comply lateral distance when pee" As you can see, everything is easy, except for the name of this town. To remember its is almost impossible.

Almost all town names in Poland are impossibly long and complicated, almost more so than Russian words. What about Russian trains? Do you ride them frequently and what are they like?

Re: Простые вещи

[andrey_kaminsky]

There are almost no high-speed railways In Russia , it's sad. Comfort of travel is determined by the price of the ticket or quality of companion, as elsewhere.

I think I'll try the rails when I return in February and write about it. Sure to be an interesting experience and adventure!
