Train Timetable for Murmansk - St. Petersburg Buy Train Tickets Online

We went from Murmansk to Saint Petersburg in third class. The cleanliness and facilities on the train were fine, but don't expect very high standards. The train was very full with people coming and leaving at every stop which makes it harder to get a good night's sleep. Also there were a couple of families with small children and several pets in our section. They announced the longer stops (in Russian) so you can leave the train for a bit. We enjoyed the landscapes along the way and would recommend this way of travelling for the more adventurous tourists.

Good compartment, clean bed linens departures and arrivals were ontime.

I like the upper beds best because it’s comfortable to have a bed all the time on long distances. It’s always very warm coupes, but with appropriate clothing that’s not a problem. Shorts, thighs and T-shirt, and of course slippers or something similar is a must. I also like the samovar and the train tea mugs. The staff is friendly and helpful when language misunderstandings occurs. :)
