Trains and Carriages
While touring about the Russian Federation one can choose between three classes of sleepers: first-class sleepers, second-class sleepers and third-class sleepers.
No doubt first and second class sleepers are the most convenient ones. First-class sleepers are offered for international service. There are two versions of this sleeping carriage: with two-berth and four-berth compartments. Sleeping accommodation is provided for 22/44 passengers respectively.
An “SV” carriage resembles a comfortable hotel with cushioned easy-chairs and berths in the compartments. Two adjoining compartments share a toilet and there is shower room at the end of the passage.
All passengers prefer traveling in fast through trains. But some routes provide for changes to be made.
Foreign tourists are offered a double-decker air-conditioned carriage. A lower deck provides 28 sleeping berths and an upper deck offers 28 seats.
Besides, Russia run day coaches and combined soft and hard carriages with four-berth compartments. The carriage is air conditioned.
Going on a journey you needn’t worry about your meals en-route. A dining car will be attached to your train. The dining car will cater for all tastes. A wide choice of Russian and European cuisine will be available there. While en-route from Moscow to Vladivostok the passenger may enjoy his three hot meals a day.
Both luggage-vans and dining cars are available on all overnight and long-distance trains.
The luggage-van (baggage-car) relieves a passenger of the trouble of taking care of trunks, suitcases and heavy luggage.
Luggage can be registered through to one’s destination. Then only thing you have to carry about is the luggage receipt. Light (hand) luggage is usually taken by the passenger to the sleeper so that he could travel light.
A porter will place your luggage on special luggage rack in the compartment.
There are no restrictions on total luggage weight. The weight of each piece, however should be not more than75 kg and not less than 5 kg. Luggage should be packed in trunks, baskets, traveling bags, handbags or boxes.
The following goods are transported unpacked: perambulators, musical instruments, bicycles, scooters, motorcycles, and sports gear up 4 m in length.

Moscow Terminals
There are nine terminals in the capital of Russia.
All nine stations are worth looking at and several of them are architecturally remarkable.
This refers first of all, to the Yaroslavsky and Kasansky stations. The design of the present Yaroslavsky station, built in 1906-1907 by architect F.O. Shekhtel is based on the motifs of northern Russian folklore.
The Kasansky terminal, across Komsomolskaya Square can rival the station just described.
Its architect, Academician A.V.Schusev, based his design on the 17th century themes.
The big clock with the sight of the zodiac is also of interest.
The Kursky terminal services a great flow of passengers going to the Black Sea Coast, the biggest resort in our country. The Kursky terminal was the first to be reconstructed in Moscow. The main hall was considerably expended and now it can accommodate up to 6.000 passengers. The station handles about 40.000 long-distance passengers and 75.000 commuters daily. Different platforms are provided for commuter and long-distance passengers. This terminal is considered to be the largest and the most comfortable railway station in Europe.
The Leningradsky terminal in Moscow and the Moscowsky terminal in ST. Petersburg seem quite identical in design. The main hall of the Leningradsky terminal is rather spacious and offers passengers various kinds of service they may need. Long rows of stalls and posts are arranged on both sides of the hall without interfering with passengers.
The Byelorussky terminal is being reconstructed now.
As is known all the nine railway terminals in Moscow were erected many years ago. As they were unable to cope with the increased flow of passengers some of them were reconstructed while others are being rebuilt or will be rebuilt in the near future.
Words and word combination to memorize
stations are worth looking at architecturally remarkable to refer to base to rival resort to expend to accommodate to handle commuter stall without interfering unable to cope flow | на станции стоит посмотреть замечательны с точки зрения архитектуры относиться основываться соперничать курорт расширять вмещать пропускать пригородного назначения ларек без помеха не в состоянии справляться поток |
Dialogue 3
- I say, we are at the Byelorussky terminal now, aren’t we?
- Oh, yes, we are.
- This is not the only terminal in Moscow, is it?
- Certainly not. As far as I Know there are as many as nine terminals in the city.
- Really? As for the Byelorussky terminal, I don’t like it at all.
- You should see other terminals. If you ask me most of them are worth looking at.
- Do you really mean it?
- Of course, I do. Some of them are architecturally quite remarkable. I mean the Yaroslavsky and Kazansky terminals. They date back to the beginning of the century.
- Any terminals of recent construction in the city?
- It seems to me it’s the Kursky terminal. They say it’s the biggest one in Europe.
- You don’t say so.
At the Railway Station
Journeys by railway begin and end at stations. They must offer the passenger all he is likely to need in the way of service.
The main purpose of a railway station is to get a passenger and his luggage into or out of railway trains as effectively and speedily as possible,
The first need of the passenger is to know what trains are available to his destination, how long they take and where, if anywhere, he has to change. Thus the information on the time of train departure, fares, route, arrival time is given either at the inquiry office or by automatic machines. Besides this information is all shown on printed timetables and train indicators.
An automatic check-room (cloak-room) is intended for safekeeping hand-luggage at railway stations. It is also called a left-luggage office. A meal can be obtained in the restaurant, in the refreshment and dining rooms. Book-, newspaper- flower-, souvenirs stalls, a post-office and a telegraph office, an Intourist office, the first-aid post, banks of telephones, spacious waiting-rooms and numerous booking offices are taken for granted at large ruiluxy stations. An automatic system “Express-2” for booking and long-distance train ticket selling is in operation on the Moscow Railway. Similar systems are installed now in other railway stations of our country.

At the Frontier (Border) Station
Every country has its own customs regulations which stipulate what articles are liable to duty and what are duty-free. Some articles liable to duty are allowed in duty-free if the traveller does not exceed a certain fixed quota.
There are listed in a duty-free quota list. Customs restrictions also include a prohibited articles list. This is a list of items which may not be brought into a country or taken out of it. If a passenger has any item which comes under customs restrictions he is asked to declare it. He is asked to name the item, stating its value and other particulars. The declaration is made either orally or in writing on a special form. The practice seems to vary in different countries. Upon payment of duty the traveller is given a receipt. As a rule personal effects are duty-free. Passing through the customs is obligatory.
Our train arrives at the frontier station in 20 minutes. The Guide distributes customs declarations to the passengers and helps them to fill them in. Every adult passenger must fill in and sign his customs declaration. The money, luggage and other things belonging to a passenger must be indicated in the customs declaration. After arrival of the train at the frontier station frontier guards check the passports. When the checking of the visas is over, all the passports are returned to the passengers. Customs officials check the customs declarations and the luggage. Passengers are allowed to leave the carriage when the customs inspection is over.
Usually a train stops at a frontier station for about 2 hours. Passenger can go and see the station building where the Intourist office, the customs, the post office, restaurant, newspaper and bookstalls are located.
The train will be taken to platform 2 after the change of wheels. The guide asks the passengers to come back to the carriage in time.

Dialogue 1
A train arrives at the border. Passengers have to pass through the customs. A porter enters one of the compartments and removes the luggage from rack…
- Is this all your luggage?
- Yes, that’s all I have here. But I have a trunk in the luggage-van.
- That’s all right. It will be taken to the customs-house.
The porter finds passenger’s wardrobe trunk in the customs-house and puts his two suit-cases down next to it. A customs inspector comes up to the passenger.
- Have you anything to declare?
- I am sorry but I don’t know what I am allowed.
- Here is the Prohibited Articles List and the Duty-free quota List. Will you go through them carefully, please? I’ll attend to you in some five minutes. In five minutes’ time the inspector comes up to the passenger again. Well, have you anything to declare?
- Nothing listed here, anyhow. I have some tobacco, though, for personal use.
There’s a 100 per cent duty on tobacco over 300 grammes. I’ll trouble you to put it on the scales here.
A passenger gets out a tin of tobacco which tips the scales at 20 grammes.
- Well, you haven’t exceeded the quota, so that is duty-free. Would you mind opening the trunk.
- Of course not. Here you are.
A passenger opens his trunk. The customs inspector makes a thorough search and finally pulls passenger’s camera out.
- I’m sorry, but I’ll have to make you pay duty on this. We have restrictions on imported cameras.
- But this for my personal use.
- I’m sorry, but those are the regulations. You can either leave it in our care until you pay the duty or else make the payment on the spot and take the camera with you right now.
- All right then. I’ll pay the duty.
He pays and is given a receipt in return.
