How early do I need to book the tickets?
We advise you order the tickets as far in advance as possible. The services are very busy in summer and it is usual for all carriages to become fully booked. We can only order the tickets 45 days before departure but if you put the order in before this then we can have it ready to book on the day the tickets become available.
What's the cheapest way to get to Moscow?
