Seats for passengers with reduced mobility
In the 6th carriage of the Sapsan train there is a place with a reliable fastening for wheelchairs. The place is equipped with a button to call the conductor. Nearby there is a special toilet designed for use by people with disabilities in wheelchairs, which, like other toilets, is equipped with an emergency call button. The floor in all areas of the Sapsan train is the same level, which makes it easier for wheelchairs to move. The table at the passenger seat with disabilities takes into account special needs - it has no legs and tilts up.
Bistro car
In the bistro car (No. 5) of the Sapsan train, you can have a snack while standing, using one of the two bar tables, or sit comfortably at one of the 10 window tables.
It is possible to deliver hot dishes from the bistro car to passengers' seats, and you can purchase soft and alcoholic drinks from the mobile bar.

What is it: a bird of prey from the falcon family and an ultra-high-speed train connecting the capital of our country with foggy St. Petersburg? Of course, we are talking about the Sapsan, which since 2009 has been running between the capital and the northern capital.
The speed that Sapsan trains develop can be the envy of many European trains, which is no wonder: the authorship of the railway bird of prey belongs to the famous Siemens company. And the choice of name itself also becomes understandable, because the peregrine falcon is the fastest bird in the world.
The Sapsan is capable of speeds of up to 350 km/h, but due to regulations and safety precautions, it is not yet allowed to travel on Russian railways faster than 250 km/h. In the future, it is planned to increase the speed in certain sections to a dashing 330 km/h. And, by the way, despite its European origin, the Sapsan is designed exclusively for Russia. For example, the train is capable of operating at temperatures down to -50 °C, and its interior is almost 30 cm wider. Which, of course, is due to the wider railway gauge.
As a rule, all Sapsan trains consist of 10 carriages capable of accommodating 506 passengers. (Although recently double trains are increasingly running between St. Petersburg and Moscow.) Traditionally, Sapsan includes one first-class carriage, one business-class carriage, 7 economy carriages and one bistro carriage.
Thanks to modern noise-insulating materials, as well as soft floor coverings, these trains, alas, will not give lovers of railway romance languid moments alone with “tydyh-tydyh”: inside the train it is very quiet.
But let's talk in more detail about the passenger's placement - that is, about his seat. All of them have adjustable backrests, footrests, a reading lamp, folding tables and armrests. First and business class can boast of leather upholstery, while economy class has fabric, which is no less comfortable, by the way. All around there are pleasant pastel colors of the walls and panoramic windows with sun-protection curtains. It will not be possible to draw patterns on foggy glass in winter: they are specially heated by circulating warm air. But in the summer, no one will die from stuffiness - a comfortable climate in the carriages is maintained using an electronic climate system. In summer and winter, the temperature stays around +22 °C.
You can place your belongings both above the seat, where there is a luggage rack for small bags, and in a special luggage compartment, which is available in each carriage. Additional features: a shoe shine machine in 3 carriages, a changing table in the toilet of the 6th carriage and a toilet for passengers with limited mobility in the middle of the train. And, of course, the bistro car, which is located in the central part of the train. Here you can have a snack standing at the bar table or sit at one of 10 tables.
Sapsan operates seven daily flights from Moscow to St. Petersburg and back. The fare depends on the time of year, seasonality and travel class.

All about the high-speed train "Sapsan". From the name to the outlet :)
Why was the Sapsan train called that, which railway launched the Sapsan first and why, why do they say “Sapsan high-speed train” and not just “Sapsan fast train”.
This page contains a description of the train, facts, figures and questions about the Sapsan.
Technical characteristics of the Sapsan train
The official name of the Sapsan train is Velaro RUS.
This is the Russian version of reliable trains that operate reliably on high-speed lines in Europe. The closest relative of the Sapsan is Intercity-Express.
Manufactured by Siemens Corporation.
Temperatures from -50 to +40 degrees do not frighten him.
The length of the train is 250 m, consisting of 10 cars. (1 first class carriage, 1 business class carriage, 7 economy class carriages and a bistro carriage). Their manufacturing technology is closer to that of aviation, which is why Sapsan weighs less than conventional trains.
All technical devices “ride” either on the roof of the car or under it, and the space inside is completely given over to passengers.
Why was the high-speed train “Sapsan” called that?
There is a swift and beautiful bird - the peregrine falcon. When hunting, she can reach speeds of more than 300 km/hour. This is as rare for the bird world as the high-speed Sapsan train is for the railways we are used to.
The maximum speed of regular trains is up to 140 km/h.
How fast does Sapsan travel?
Technically, the train can reach speeds of up to 300-350 km/h, but on Russian railways it is still limited to 250 km/h.
The average speed of the Sapsan train on the St. Petersburg - Moscow route is about 200 km/h.
On the Okulovka - Malaya Vishera section, the maximum speed of the Sapsan train is 230-240 km/h.
Between Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod, the Sapsan reduces its speed to 160 km/h.
The speed of the train along the way can always be seen on a special display inside each car.
How long does it take the Sapsan to St. Petersburg?
