Train fares and tariffs / Re: Questions about the Slovakian CityStar ticket to Russia

« on: June 27, 2012, 08:15:20 am »

 

Hello tut,
Hello rasha-
Hello to all the others:


here is a short update:
I bought tickets online with the bookinkg.uz.gov.ua from Uzhgorod - Kiev (168,82 Hrywna)  Kiev- Moscow (473,82 Hrywna) Thats  for 2 Persons about 134 euro.

Yesterday I tried to make reaservations at the cologne main station.
Sleeper in T4 from Moscow to Kazan in Train # 050M was 84 euros (2 Persons).

Then the clerk told me that he is unable to make reservation for the train with the numbers 307C and 340/350 Ч
He said, that there is no need for making reservation for such a train. Is he right?


My route is finally planned:
Viienna - Bratislava py bus.
Bratislava- Michalovce R615 23:40- 07:09 Buying on board
Going to Chop by Bus/Taxi
Chop - Kiev 082 Л    allready booked with bookinkg.uz.gov.ua
Kiev- Moskow 022K  allready booked with bookinkg.uz.gov.ua
Moskow - Kazan  050M Reservation 84 Euro

Kazan - Yekaterinburg (no reservation needed?)
Yekaterinburg - Ishim ( no reservation needed?)
Ishim - Vladivostok 240 Э (reservation on the 29.06)
and back Vladivostok - Nizny Nowgorod with the Rossija (reservation end of next week)


What is cheaper: Buying city star ticket in Michalovce > 1500 km for two or is there the possibility to buy the tickets at the counter in Russia?

many thanks
Kimski

Train fares and tariffs / Re: What will this tour cost cheapest and do i have to stay one night in Vladiwostok

« on: April 06, 2012, 09:20:15 am »

the same price as Michalovce-Vladivostok, so why then no to buy it already from Bratislava? ?[/quote]
We will be at night in Bratislava and the office will be closed. We will buy the ticket for the train to Michalovce on the train as someone from the slovak train company considered. 
Does it make sense to buy sleeper till Kyiv? Do we get it on the train.

Basically you will have a CityStar and sleeper reservation up till Moscow and don't worry about any connections/train changes.?[/quote]
We reconsider and will take the 016ЛВ  leaving Kyiv at 20:40 (local time. All times were local just to make sure that i planned it right, i got them from here: https://www.realrussia.co.uk/trains/schedule/

Well, first of all remember potential timetable change in Russia.
It is only a plan, the fixed times are the flight to vienna and the 2 nights in Kazan and the flight from moscow to Düsseldorf.

Is it possible to leave Vladiwostok the same day at 22:30 in the 001M?[/quote] Why it shouldn't be possible? ?[/quote]
The rules of City star are "stay one night at the ending/return point of your journey"? Is this wrong?


But it's going to be rather a lot of time on the train ?[/quote]
Yes !Our asses will be flat as some bleenis..

thanks a lot

Train fares and tariffs / What will this tour cost cheapest and do i have to stay one night in Vladiwostok

« on: April 04, 2012, 10:53:39 am »

hello again,

now i have made some plans for the tour:

can anybody help me with the prices?
We (two adults)are looking forward to some main answers, but i know that the price depends on the "art of sleeping", we want to mix beetween low and middle low.

We start from Vienna airport, the bus to Bratislava to catch the train at 23:40 to Michalovce (27,40 euro/pp in couchette)on the 07 of august.
At 7:09 in Michalovce we want to buy the CityStar ticket > 1500km and then cross the boarder, (any tips?) to cath the train leaving Uzhgorod at 14:41(100Л).  7 1/2 hours should be enough for that?

In Kiev we are planning to take the 022K leaving at 07:19 to be in moscow on the 09th at 06:16. Is it cheaper to split the route as suggested?   Were can we leave the luggage for the day? Does anybody know a nice banja/hammam in the centre of the city?

From Moscow we go to Kazan with the 050M leaving at 19:20 to arrive at 08:26 on the 10th of august.
On the 12th to Yekaterinburg with the 140H at 16:58 to be there at 10:44 the next day(13.08).

Yekaterinburg - Vladiwostok with the 240Э to be there on the 18th of August at 00:22.

And now the master question: Is it possible to leave Vladiwostok the same day at 22:30 in the 001M?
Because our flight from moscow is on the 25.08 and we want to make  a stop in Nizhny Novgorod on the 24.08 to be there just in time  and not taking a hotel in capital city..

If possible give  a cheapest option and one wich is about 500 euros more expensive if possible
thanks a lot in advance

Hello  ,

here are a lot of information, that i don`t really get i think. 

1. To buy the City Star ticket I have defenitly go to the check republik and buy it there 60 day in advance on a workday?
    I want to go with my wife on the 6th or 7th of August to Vladivostock and back, so can i buy it in a station near the german boarder on the
    7/8 of June? No online booking? My check is not even bad, it is worse.

2. Where do i find the T3 or T4 availibilty in the trains i wanne ride? and can I make the reservations online or the same way in the CR?

Hope you have the time to help some slow minded german..
