After checking every possible combination at reiseauskunft.bahn.de from Zagreb to Bratislava, there is no reasonable way for me to be in Bratislava in time for the through train to Moscow without spending an extra night in Bratislava. So I think I will use your advice and travel from Budapest to Chop and then board the direct Moscow train. If the schedule remains the same for next year, I should be in Chop at 01:13, and the train from Bratislava should be there 00:50. Since the bogies are being changed and the train to Moscow resumes from Chop at 04:18 there is plenty of time to even maybe see the whole procedure as it takes place.

Do you think it will be a problem for me to board the train so late in the night? I mean, people will probably be sleeping in the compartment I get so...

Do you know how much would the sleeper supplement cost from Chop to Moscow? From Zilina to Moscow its 24€. And also for the return trip, from Chop to Budapest, how much would it cost (on top of the 17€) to stay in the sleeper wagon?

Regarding alternate routes within Russia, if the ticket cashier enters the stations like in your ticket, does that mean that I could also choose a route Moskva-St.Peterburg-Novosibirsk?

Hello :)

I would like to go on the Transsiberian from Split (Croatia) to Vladivostok next summer, so after I heard of the amazing offer from Slovakian railways to Russia and started to plan my trip, but I have some questions.

1. I read, that people buy this CityStar ticket in Slovakia but choose to board the train to Moscow in Budapest. Is this okay if there are other trains to Moscow (from Žilina) which do not go through Budapest? It would be great for me since Split (via Zagreb) is better connected with Budapest than it is with Bratislava (or Žilina for that matter).

2. If I go to Bratislava and buy this CityStar ticket, do I simply say that my destination in Russia is Vladivostok, or do I have to name all of the intermediate stations in between?

3. Can I choose one route TO Vladivostok and a different one back FROM it?

This last question is very important to me because I would like to go to Vladivostok like this 

Budapest-Kiev-Moskva-Vladivostok

and return like this

Vladivostok-Irkutsk-Yekaterinburg-Kazan-Kiev-Budapest

so if this is not possible, I have to rethink my plans.

Thank you in advance  ;)
