The Pride of Russian Railway - Red Arrow Trains
Red Arrow trains hold a very special place in the rank of the most impressive Russian trains, as they are the very first branded trains that started to run between Moscow and St. Petersburg back in 1931. Back then, the travel time was almost 10 hours, and the average travel speed was about 70 km/h (43 mph), but today the characteristics improved significantly. Sure, these bright red trains are historically significant but don't think that they are outdated. Now, the Red Arrow trains can get you between the city centers of the gorgeous Russian capitals in just 8 hours, and you can rest assured that they provide first-class service, fantastic onboard amenities, and spectacular interiors. The overnight trains boast several travel classes to select from (you can find the description of each one below) and have a restaurant car on board where you can have a pleasant dinner with your travel companion or simply enjoy a late-night drink.
