Rail transport maintains its leading position in freight and passenger transportation. The railway network provides the ability to travel to any of the most remote corners of the country. This transport is also popular among passengers and the relatively low cost of a ticket compared to air travel, especially since you have the choice to go in a reserved seat car or spend money on a more comfortable seat. But before you go on the road, you need to know the timetable.
As it was before
It’s hard to believe, but only about 15-20 years ago you could find out the train schedule by contacting the ticket office of the nearest railway station or station, as well as by calling the help desk of this station. At the same time, if you were planning transit transfers, the cashier had to make an additional request and specify the train schedule at all points of your transit route.
It is clear that you yourself did not seem to be able to choose the best route and choose a convenient departure time from these points. Of course, this method of finding out the schedule is valid now, but it is not often used - it is convenient only for those passengers who do not have the opportunity to use the Internet, and there are less and less of them.
If the Internet is not at hand, you can find out the train schedule on the toll-free number of the unified help desk of Russian Railways 8-800-775-00-00.
