  • Friendly service from all. Snack open sandwiches were fresh and tasty. Having coffee and tea available was an unexpected extra. Some announcements in English were very difficult to understand in Russia.

  • 2 viajes dos problemas. Habiendo comprado los tickets con 7 meses de anticipación, primero nos cancelaron un servicio de Helsiki a San Petesburgo que salía a la mañana y nos lo pusieron a la noche casi sobre la fecha del viaje. Después el dia del viaje de San Petesburgo a Helsinki, nos enteramos sobre la marcha que la mitad del viaje la teníamos que completar en bus, esto genero que en vez de 3 hs de viaje fueran 6. Hicimos el reclamo y no obtuvimos respuesta alguna. Una barbaridad

  • I really appreciated the fact that the Alstom train staff spoke English and liked the fact that we didn't have to waste time on customs control upon arrival to Helsinki
