Started selling tickets for the high-speed train Allegro, which will be released on the line between St. Petersburg and Helsinki on 12 December. In Russia, tickets are available only in specialized offices and agencies, selling on the Internet are not conducted Recall that the first phase composition, capable of speeds up to 220 km / h, will serve the route twice a day. Departure time from St. Petersburg - 6.40 and 15.25 (from Vyborg - in 7.45 and 16.30), arriving in Helsinki - 9.16 and 1.18, respectively. Inverse departure - at 10.00 and 15.00, arriving in St. Petersburg - in 14.36 and 19.36 (in Vyborg - in 13.33 and 18.33). Journey time - 3 hours 36 minutes. Now serving the route of the train "Repin" and the "Sibelius" from the same date will be canceled. Allegro will stop at the same stations, as presently constituted - in Vyborg, Vainikkala Kouvola, Lahti, Tikkurile and Pasillo. By next summer the frequency of flights expected to reach four per day. As a part - a first-class carriage (head), five second-class carriages and a dining car. In total 48 seats in the train first class and 296 - the second one. Among other things, there are seats for passengers with disabilities, playing a compartment for children, places for passengers with pets, as well as a conference room. The fare will be almost a half times higher than in the overrides "Repin" and "Sibelius - 84 euros (instead of 60 Euros) in second class and 134 euros (instead of 95-105 euros) in first class. Thus it is likely that part of the current line will take passengers on buses and taxis, but new compositions like "Peregrine" on the Moscow - St. Petersburg, will attract a new contingent of passengers from private cars and airplanes. Some other prices of the second class from St. Petersburg: Vainikkala - 46,6 euros Kouvola - 54,4, Lahti - 63,3, Tikkurila - 82.4 euros. Rates from Vyborg: Vainikkala - 31 euros, Kouvola - 38,8, Lahti - 47.7, Tikkurila - 66,8, Helsinki - 68.4 euros. When selling outside of Russia and Finland will act so-called tariff "East - West. This line will be the first in Russia, where to apply a new scheme of border and customs control - during the movement ended. Monitoring will be carried out during the train from St. Petersburg to Vyborg. Travel time between these stations - exactly one hour. Brigades of border guards and customs officials will go before the departure of the train in the dining car - the third in the convoy. After which he divided into two groups, will start moving to the head and tail of the train. One of the groups to be tested two cars, one of which business class, the second group - four cars. Since the rules during the border control passengers can not travel on the train and must stay in their seats, this scheme will help make the process as easy as possible: the passengers of those cars that have been verified, will be able to go to a restaurant. If passengers are found, which for some reason can not be issued from the country of their plant in Vyborg. Those passengers who intend to sit down at Allegro in Vyborg, pass the border and customs control at the station before boarding the train, which arrives on a dedicated platform, separated from the Perron trains. A similar scheme will be applied on the return journey: Passengers traveling from Finland to Vyborg, will control the Vyborg station, and the next to St. Petersburg - in the remainder of the hour's journey. At stations in both cities will be equipped with facilities for border and customs services. With regard to the Finnish border guards, their scheme works in principle will not change - they will check the passports of passengers on a segment of Vainikkala to Kouvola. The new control scheme will significantly reduce travel time by reducing the duration of stay in Viborg and the abolition of technical stop at the border Buslovskaya.
