London, 3 October, 2018: Today, Trainline, Europe’s leading independent train and coach platform, announces a partnership with Real Russia, a licensed ticketing agency for Russian Railways outside Russia. The partnership means Trainline now provides customers with access to iconic trans-continental journeys like the famous Trans-Siberian Express, and the high-speed Sapsan trains between Moscow and St. Petersburg or Nizhny Novgorod. Long-distance epic sleeper services across Russia and into Siberia can also be booked easily.
The partnership means that Trainline now works with rail and coach companies across 44 countries, having more than doubled its total carrier partners, to over 200, in the last 12 months. Other recent announcements include a partnership with ÖBB, Austria’s national rail operator, as well as a Japan Rail pass partnership with JTB.
We’re thrilled to partner with Real Russia and open up access to famous rail journeys and transcontinental Russian routes for our customers. Following the global excitement of the football this summer, inbound tourism to Russia has picked up significantly and we look forward to helping more visitors experience the wonders of this stunning country by rail.
