Each carriage will normally have a printed timetable showing your journey, displaying where, when and for how long you will stop at stations en-route. These are invariably only written in Russian and Chinese, so learning the Cyrillic alphabet will help you understand where you are at any given moment, and where your next stop will be.

About Trans-Siberian Railway

For more than a century the Trans-Siberian trains have chugged across the world’s largest country and past the world’s deepest lake regardless of weather, revolution or political upheaval, providing an essential link for families and traders alike. Transporting refugees, convicts, exotic and mundane goods and those seeking a new life, these are working trains, not designed for luxury. As fellow travellers you will share your days with many varied nationalities and your most vivid memories will be from these chance meetings as much as from the scenery and spartan facilities.

Trans-Siberian holidays - what about the food...?

Restaurant car food varies according to the country you are travelling through. Start the journey with borsch, continue with Mongolian mutton stew and finish with succulent Peking duck. The restaurant wagon on board is usually located between the first-class compartments. They offer the usual fare - soups, salads, meat cutlets and fish etc - all at reasonable prices. The restaurant also sells beer, Russian champagne, vodka and snacks. You can also buy food from the many vendors on the station platforms when the trains stop like these delicious fruits we purchased very cheaply at Vekovka.

Trans-Siberian Holidays - Regent Recommends...

Get to know your carriage attendant! These people will be all-powerful during the journey and make good allies. They clean your compartment and the bathroom, tell you how long the train will stop, lock the compartment whilst you are eating in the restaurant wagon or stretching your legs on the platform during the stops, provide your bed linen and will wake you when it is time to get off!
