Train 035 is double-decker. Branded train “Northern Palmyra. Advantages of traveling on "Northern Palmyra"

About a month ago, I spoke in detail about the state of affairs at the construction site of the bypass of Ukraine. However, the actual train on which I made this voyage remained behind the scenes. It was train No. 36 "Northern Palmyra" on the Adler - St. Petersburg route; but not an ordinary one, but a two-story one. At that time, he was making only the second regular flight in his passenger career (the first time was on the route on May 31), and that’s when I tested it.

In principle, I have already tested “two-story buildings” before long distance: in 2014 - (upper floor) and in 2015 - (lower floor), so this time I quite deliberately chose the lower floor, as it was noticeably more comfortable. What’s new is that I came across the train’s Internet portal for the first time. This is a new feature of FPK, which is now being tested for mass implementation. Therefore, in this review we will talk about it in more detail than about the rest. As for considering the pros and cons of riding on both floors of the car, I refer them to the above-mentioned previous reviews, where everything was explained in detail.

2. We leave Sochi at 17:17, late in the evening. The train schedule is quite comfortable: evening, two nights, the next day and morning arrival in St. Petersburg, the journey takes 38 hours. He leaves Adler half an hour earlier. In principle, the train goes almost empty to Sochi, and here and then in Tuapse it fills up by about 40-45% (let me remind you that this happens on June 3 - the very beginning of the season, and everyone goes the other way to the resort, and not from it). I was the only one in the compartment (there were 2 and 3 people in the neighboring compartments, respectively).

Train arrival (video)

3. The cars are completely new, it is immediately clear that another batch has been released for the new route. I immediately note that here (as in other double-decker trains that I have used), no one hands out a magnetic key card to passengers, although in general it is required. Why this is so is unclear. The first floor is noticeably higher and more comfortable in size than the second, and in general, the ride quality is very close to that of a “regular” coupe. I discussed all this in the corresponding review, I will not repeat it.

4. Train schedule.

5. For the first hour and a half, the train travels along the Black Sea. Beautiful. Beaches, boat piers, sanatorium villages. Sochi remains in the distance to the south.

6. Loo station.

7. On Lazarevskaya (this is still part of Greater Sochi) - the first large parking lot, 11 minutes. I go out and take a walk - it’s humid and hot. South.

8. Pointer in Russian Railways style.

9. Closer to the sea - nakhalstroy and all sorts of rented rooms for holidaymakers. It's so common here.

10. I didn’t go to the station, and apparently in vain. Oh well.

They came here from the dining car.
- Are you entitled to meals on your ticket, when will you pick them up?
- When is it possible?
-Tonight or tomorrow evening?
- Can I only do it once?
- Yes, there is only one reception on the ticket.
- Then tomorrow.
- Chicken, fish, pork?
- Let's have some chicken.
(went further)

11. The sea again. In the distance there is a ship's roadstead, we are approaching the port of Tuapse.

12. Goodbye, Black Sea. Now the train will sharply turn inland and begin to climb into the mountains. That's literally in a minute.

13. And oops, a surprise - the resort-impressive views are replaced by harsh industrial landscapes. Oil tanks, and then the plant. Tuapse, that's what it is :)

14. I will make a separate post about Tuapse station, but here is only one picture. We stood here for 18 minutes, missing an oncoming Lastochka and another train. The station has also been turned into a fenced fortress, like all large stations in the North Caucasus region. So if you leave, you cannot return to the territory without inspection.

15. Behind the station is an oil refinery (?) plant. It was already getting dark.

16. As the train climbed higher, it was already getting dark, and I decided to finish reading the biography of Archpriest Avvakum, and took out the reader from my backpack. But then my gaze accidentally fell on the volume control above the window, where “Wi-Fi connect” was clearly written. So, is there Wi-Fi here, or what??? We need to check. He pulled out the tablet and started it up. And definitely - there is! And not just a network, but a train portal. I had never encountered this before, and I remembered that they really talked about such plans.

I went to the conductor for tea and at the same time asked her about the Internet.
- Is this paid for?
- Yes, for a fee.
- How much?
- I don’t know yet, everything is just being tested.
- Hm... ( ok, I'll try it as is)

18. The “Route” service turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Slowly, the area where we were traveling became clear. The train's speed and coordinates, as well as signal strength, were written in small letters. The cursor moved slowly. The area could be zoomed in and out, but after every minute the entire map was automatically centered with the cursor in the middle. However, I breathed a sigh of relief - the fact is that in Sochi Megafon blocked me (I wrote about this) and I was without a normal Internet connection. This means that if the portal works, tomorrow I will accurately calculate the Ukrainian territory and the end points of the bypass being built.

19. Menu tab "About the train". It immediately shows the current speed (regardless of the GPS in the device).

20. Films divided by genres and subgenres. Uploaded to the train portal, not online. Access is fast. I looked through the menu and counted about 500-600 films.

21. Each film on the way will be paid. I clicked on the names and asked for an average of 80-140 rubles per film. Access with multiple viewing is valid for 1 day. It is not yet clear how payment will be made; the system is only being tested.

22. In the southern night we arrived at Hot Key, where the locomotive was changed. Parking time 33 minutes.

23. I walked to the station and went back to the carriage.

24. During the night, no one sat down in the compartment, neither in Krasnodar, nor in Rostov - so I was traveling alone. This morning I woke up from bright sun. Until 10 am we drove quickly and zealously, but then we stopped somewhere at a small station. We stand for 5 minutes, 10, 15... it’s not on the schedule.

I went to the conductor.
- What's happened? And the air conditioner doesn't work. The power in the sockets is gone, there is no charging!
- The locomotive broke down. We are waiting for a replacement...
About 30 minutes later, the shunter actually came and dragged us to Millerovo - it was very close. An electric locomotive was picked up there and everything was restored. Charging began again and there was a pleasant chill throughout the carriage.

26. Millerovo. The Ukrainian belt is coming soon, we need to be on guard. I look at the tablet to see when the desired station is approaching. The “Route” tab is still very convenient! Helped me out specifically when the Megaphone was turned off.

27. Took some tea. What they give here is not disgusting paper bags, but mesh pyramids. Well done. They are much nicer, more aromatic and the tea leaves are made from sheets rather than garbage. It seems like a small thing, but it’s not a small thing at all!

(the passage of the Ukrainian belt was covered in detail in a separate post, so I’m skipping it)

28. In Rossoshi, at a shortened parking lot, I managed to grab a travel kit from my auntie - I was eager to eat, and the evening was far away.

29.200 rub. - tomato, warm potato, 2 cutlets. Was covered with film. I had lunch, basically.

30. We are moving to Don.

31. The Liskies are approaching.

32. The hallmark of the entire line is the huge elevators at the stations. Mostly working, and in some places abandoned.

33. Closer to Voronezh it began to rain.

34. I follow the route using the train portal. No, it's really convenient. If only they didn’t center the position every minute, that would be great!

35. "Palmyra" has a call at Voronezh, unlike many other trains. That is, it goes to the left of the main straight line (see photo), enters the city at the main station, then changes direction and exits back through the connection. It’s strange why a normal station on the main line hasn’t been built there yet! This solution simply suggests itself. There are bridges, there are roads. There is no station with infrastructure.

36. We go to Voronezh along the side branch. The speed is low, 40 kilometers.

37. Voronezh-1 station. This is my first time here, and therefore, despite the pouring rain, I go out onto the platform to have a look.

38. The station here is also a fortress, fenced on all sides.

39. Therefore, the locomotive-monument is outside the perimeter and cannot be approached.

41. The train changes direction, and the EP1M is picked up on the other side. Now we're going back :)

Here, finally, the second passenger sat in the compartment - a grandfather, probably over 80. He walks slowly, rather poorly. But cheerful. A healthy man, a son or nephew, put him on the train. We started talking gradually - he turned out to be a military sailor, a retired capraz. He served for a long time on Novaya Zemlya, providing a nuclear weapons testing site. He loves to talk about politics, and, as it turned out a little later, also conspiracy theories - so I immediately gave him freedom of expression, without particularly interfering with my opinions :)

42. In Voronezh, the train was about 70% full, then it passed Gryazi and a lot of people sat down here (this is the advance station of the regional Lipetsk). Finally, it was time for dinner. I went into the train system and looked at the prices. My ticket included a hot dinner.

43. Well then. Around 6 pm, an aunty comes from the dining car and brings me this eggplant with rice and some chicken on top. A roll as bread.

Is that all? - I involuntarily burst out? - What is this, a “hot dinner”?
- Yes! - Seeing my bewilderment, - Everything is according to the standard!
Gone.
(Hmmm... This is what “meals on a ticket” eventually degenerated into, I thought. - Aren’t these “tenants” insolent?)

43a. For comparison, this is what a real hot dinner on a ticket looked like 5 years ago (Baikal train No. 9, 2011). Soup on the right, potatoes and schnitzel on the left.

44. In the evening we drove through Ryazan-2, this is the final major stop before St. Petersburg. Here, too, people got into the carriage.

45. A Novorossiysk train arrived nearby under EP20. And they unhooked our EP1M...

46. ...and attached the EP2K. He will already lead us to St. Petersburg.

47. Late in the evening we began to approach Moscow, where a technical stop was planned at midnight without boarding passengers.

48. Very interesting: the train made its way through the very center of Moscow in the silence of the night, the carriage was sleeping soundly, and one could see different views of the capital:) However, there was little light, I didn’t take pictures - I just followed the movement along the train portal. Then the train stopped at the station. Nikolaevka for about 10 minutes. The station was also familiar to me, I had been there to inspect the two-story sedentary building.

49. After which we walked quite quickly all night along the main route of the October Mainline and at 7:46 arrived in Northern Palmyra.

That's it, the trip is over.

Resume.
1. It’s quite normal to travel on the first floor of a 2-story building for a day and a half.
2. The train’s Internet portal is a smart undertaking (plans). If you finish it meaningfully, you will get a very popular service.
3. The route schedule is convenient.
4. The tenants (dining car) became insolent and made a mocking joke out of the ticketed food service.
5. The delay due to a breakdown of the electric locomotive in front of Millerovo was caught up in about 7 hours.
6. Magnetic lock cards are never issued to passengers. Why is a mystery...
