What is the double-decker train Moscow-Adler inside

The cars produced in Russia Tver Carriage Works. There is only one route connecting the capital to the resort of Sochi. This year will be purchased 50 double-deck coaches. They will carry people from Moscow to St. Petersburg and Kazan.





The train leaves at 10am from the Kazan station. Travel time - 25 hours. Note the difference in height compared to the conventional one-story carriage.



Leads the newest part of the fifth generation of electric two-system - EP20. It can work both on alternating and direct current.



On this route operates a dynamic pricing system - the more empty seats on the train, the fare is cheaper. Even a 10% discount when purchasing tickets to both sides. I bought a ticket for 2 days prior to departure and costs 8000 rubles. If you buy at least a week before the trip, the price will be around 5000 rubles.



Let's go inside. Tambour. Doors open from the button and close automatically. The transitions between the wagons are sealed. On June 1, smoking in long-distance trains is prohibited, but some bad holes passengers picked open the ashtray.



We pass on the train. On the standard toilets are located at ground level and various technical areas.



Each car has three toilets. This composting toilets, and use them at any time, including at bus stops.



Instead toilet containers for separate waste collection.



The passage on the first floor. Ceiling height slightly more than 2 meters.



To lock the door to the compartment has a magnetic card.



General view of a compartment on the first floor. The main difference from the usual one-story cars - no top luggage rack. Still it is necessary to bear in mind that on the top shelf will not sit in the full-length, with his legs dangling. Luggage space has a bottom shelf.



Each compartment is located on the bottom row of the two sockets. LED lighting completely.



Coupe inside with the door closed.



The window does not open: in the cars central heating system and ventilation. Power supply of cars coming from the locomotive. In the box there is a sliding curtain. Ventilation grilles are located under the window and the ceiling.



Go to the second floor. Steps are highlighted (as in cinema), has handrails. On the stairs is another garbage container and a spherical mirror in advance to see coming towards passengers.



The second floor is identical to the first. The only difference here in this small slant of the roof. And the window is below the belt, and it is necessary to bend, if you want to admire the scenery of the corridor.



The top shelf in a compartment on the second floor. On the ceiling ventilation grille, the center speaker with volume control. Another interesting point noticed - on the second floor on the top shelf of every two personal lamp. This is probably due to the slant of the roof - not everyone can be comfortable lying head to the window.



The rest is all completely identical. I do not know how to really tall people, but I do with the growth of 182 cm length of the bed was enough.



Each passenger is given the personal hygiene kit, a small grocery rations and water. Tea and coffee are served, of course, branded coasters.



While there was no one went directly to the dining car to investigate. The main hall is located on the second floor. Incidentally, the types of the window on the second floor better.



On the ground floor there is a small bar and kitchen itself. A lifting of ready meals upstairs are two small elevators.



Along the way the train makes several stops lasting from 5 to 15 minutes. All smokers passengers as soon as possible run on the street. For the wagons does not matter high or low platform at the station



On the way from Moscow to Voronezh region the windows look was absolutely nothing. If you get bored, you can try to use the free internet. All cars are WiFi-routers with a link from a megaphone. The truth is it depends on the availability of the network, and on the route to this is not very good. In fact, more or less stable connection and the Internet were just on the coast of the Black Sea.



At the stops, you can watch the provincial life.



The move - enjoy nature.



The next stop. The station Rossosh.



Not all types of turns to photograph properly - prevent many wires. Sometimes, by the way, it turns out that out of the windows of the ground floor leads into the frame gets smaller than the second.



At 2 am, the train is due to arrive in Rostov-on-Don. The journey goes unnoticed. When compared with the plane, the train is much less hectic, more spacious, and there is time to work. But it is not two hours on an iron bird.



In the morning the train leaves the coast.



Vacationers looking with interest at the double-decker train. Many pictures.



The path runs almost came to the water. Definitely the most picturesque part of the route.



At 10 am the next day I go to the station in Sochi. As for the double-decker cars, they are several times better equip ordinary single-storey. A little closer on the top shelf? But there are normal toilets, sockets, internet and everything else.
