"Express" - company train number 003/004
Back in 1976, the Express train first got on the rails, and in December 2007 it experienced a rebirth and changed beyond recognition. Among other trains of this direction, it is distinguished by a catchy design that meets the highest criteria in Europe.
All cars of the train are equipped with an electrical network, a modern air conditioning system, as well as vacuum dry closets.
As conceived by the designers, the Express coupe of the VIP class can be easily transformed from a cozy living room into a bedroom or study, in addition, if necessary, there will be an additional sleeping place for a child. But, even if you are traveling alone, payment will be charged for the full cost of the compartment. VIP class cars have their own "branded" bar.
Double compartment Lux (SV) with shelves one above the other.
The main advantage of this design is that if you are not traveling alone, then you should not stare at your fellow traveler all the way, but he at you, as is the case in the overwhelming majority of SV cars used in Russia, which are essentially ordinary compartments with removed upper bins. In addition, since the shelves in the new model do not need to fit side by side, they are made wider than usual.
SVs differ from VIP-coupes mainly in larger area - the technical equipment is the same, except for the presence of a DVD-player and Internet access.
The conditions of the trip fully justify the cost, it is worth throwing back the sofa and a spacious, already made bed, in front of you!
Your own shower, toilet, wardrobe, DVD-player, food, high quality service are at your service.
In October 2013, the interior of the carriages was renewed.

With this Ukrainian marathon, there was no time to tell about two more trains on the capital line, which I inspected for their current state in late February - early March this year. I am getting better.
At the beginning of February, I drove the Red Arrow,. Summary: worsened.
At the end of February, No. 003 "Express" was tested, and at the beginning of March - the 64th "Two Capitals".
Below are the impressions of both teams.
Train number 003 "Express" at the Moskovsky vkz. SPb
Let's start with the "three".
2. First, let's go to the end of the line-up and look in the direction of Moscow :)
3. Now - into the carriage. I'm driving in the II class, as the coupe is now called.
4. We make onions until the neighbors come. All cars are new. But not "Strelovskie", those are slightly different.
5. Everything is covered, both above and below. The linen is nice, plus full duvet covers. I also liked the flooring, soft and pleasant, you can walk without shoes at all.
6. Food sets for 4 passengers (included in the ticket). Personally, I don't really need them, and their content is partially subject to criticism.
7. But the tablecloths are branded (but no longer on the COP). In the photo - hot breakfast order cards, you can order three options. Now this is a more necessary thing than "dry" food sets. I ordered an omelet for the morning. And you could also have oatmeal or pancakes with jam. Food is supplied by the guides through the dining car.
8. Cup holders are empty, now everywhere with the relief of "Russian Railways".
From an unexpected, but very pleasant surprise: the tea is supposed to be in conical nets, good, leafy, and not standard tea bags with tea waste. Normal brew is enough for two glasses. Enjoyed the correct train tea :)
9. "Express" in Moscow.
10. This electric locomotive brought us to the capital.
Resume from the "troika".
a) the overall impression is better than in the "Arrow" itself, somehow even more comfortable
b) there is a regular wi-fi that is unstable - either a good signal, or so-so
c) the right tea!
d) the schedule is less tiring and you get much better sleep: 23.30 departure, 8.30 arrival. Enough and in the evening to drink tea, and sleep, and in the morning to eat hot breakfast. That is, the 9-hour night route is better tolerated than the 8-hour route.
Now "Two Capitals" # 64. I drove them back.
11. Schedule. Leaves early, comes early, at a little over 6 in the morning. On the way ~ 8 hours.
12. Wagons in branded colors. There are only a few of them left, the rest are already in corporate color.
14. Covered shelf. But in the top three, the linen is nicer, the duvet cover is fluffier and more comfortable.
15. Unpleasantly surprised by the lack of curtains. Or batten down from above, or nothing. What the hell is that?
16. The cars are also new. But I didn’t like the composition, it’s somehow uncomfortable.
17. This electric locomotive brought me to St. Petersburg.
18. Station of St. Petersburg.
19. An interesting poster on the wall of the station.
In general, from the night trains of the capital's line "troika" definitely taxis.
She is now better than "Arrow" in terms of overall comfort.
