Slyudyanka - Irkutsk Bilhetes de trem

Thé toilets were too narrow and not very convenient and the luggage space under the seat not practical because everybody has to move every time, but I guess it depends on the trains as the one I took from Vladivostok to Ulan-Ude was way easier to manage.

Pretty good considering the space and little facilities. If you organize yourself a little bit, it’s very enjoyable even for 3rd class.

The beds were comfortable. It was nice to be able to charge devices. The food portions were a bit small.

From Irkutsk to Krasnoyarsk, the train was delayed for 2 1/2 hours. I had to wait at the train station for my first experience From krasnoyarsk to Novosibirsk, again train delayed for about 1 hour. At least from Novosibirsk to Ekaterinburg, no delay! Unfortunately, when I booked my train tickets, there is a lot of English missing for example, my 2nd class 4berth, there was no way to find out if breakfast was included. From Krasnosyark to Novosibirsk I was not aware that breakfast was included. This I was told by the person on duty. It does not mention in English, only in Russian. The toilets were kept clean, and the sheets were given to us very cleaned.

Great experience, meet a lot of people!
