How to choose a good car train. What places in the placentar is better to take. Free in the train

Planning to go on the road by train, you should think about which car it is better to choose in a train: reserved seats, type of check-in, sv or sedentary. The reserved sequarters are the most common type of passenger cars in Russia, however, as in all CIS countries, it consists of 9 coupe 6 seats in each, total 54 in 1 carriage. Each coupe and side places there are tables folding design. Between the 4th seats of the jiggle and 2 sidelines is a passage. In the car there are 2 toilets, titanium for water heating, 2 tambours, coupe for conductors.

Why is a multiple car such a popular? The fact is that this is a budget version of the long distance trip, during which you can relax, sleep. The reserved seats are also called the open-type sleeping carriage. The socket is opposite to the toilet, in the second and eighth coupe (numbers 39-40 and 51-52). Usually wishing to charge your gadgets (during long journeys) more than the sockets themselves.

Places 1-4.

Comfort while traveling plays a big role. Therefore, it is necessary to seriously treat what places in the placentar is better to take.

Places from 1 to 4 are located near the coupe of conductors and toilets. They are referred to "bad". The trip will be accompanied by constant walking of passengers to the toilet, to the conductor of the car, to the output at intermediate stations, and it will happen around the clock.

Plazcarpet scheme

The advantages include proximity to get out of the car, which is relevant for travelers with heavy baggage.

Important! Charge laptops, also use tees and extension cords.

Places 5-32.

From 5 to 32 - the best places in a second-class car. This is the regiments of the middle of the wagon of the jiggle.

Note! The windows in the third and sixth coupe do not open. And if there is no air conditioner in such a coupe, then the trip will become a great test, especially in summer.

Course

About side places

Side seats are in the range from 37 to 54. They also have their own characteristics, knowing that you can confidently make a decision, whether to buy them. Sometimes a ticket to the 54 top side of the side is not for sale, then it is used on business purposes.

The disadvantages of the "sidewols" can be attributed:

  • The smaller width of the shelf, which brings tangible discomfort to most people and does not allow to fully rest, straightening lying.
  • The minus of the lower side seats is their design, since the table is folded from the middle part of the seat. To eat at the table of a passenger from above, you will have to disturb the lower neighbor if he rests. It does not rarely lead to disputes and discontent of both sides.
  • Side seats are considered "passing". It's almost impossible to position my legs, because the length of the neighbor is probably under the table, and people go back to the passage to the passage.

Among the advantages of the sidewols, their availability can be noted: they often remain on sale almost with any direction of the train. And people will not calmly be able to accommodate the "second floor", without surviving that the legs will hurt passing people.

Bocus

The sidewalks ride should not bring discomfort if the journey lasts long.

If two well-known people go, you perfectly purchase tickets for the upper and lower side reserved seats.

Places near the restroom (from 33 to 36)

Tickets for 33-36 rooms can be safely attributed to "uncomfortable". The lack of them is located near the toilet, which can be accompanied by very unpleasant smells, constant flaking doors and draft. These places are redeemed by passengers extremely reluctantly, like the side.

Advantages and disadvantages of the upper and lower shelves

Another important point in order to choose the most comfortable places in a second-class car, know the features of the upper and lower shelves.

The advantages of the upper shelves - they are unlikely to bother on them, at any time of the day you can conveniently set up and read the book, sleep or see your favorite movie.

The disadvantage can be called its inconvenience for the elderly, with children, with overweight. Close up for them - the task is not easy. The category of people avoiding the top places also includes passengers who are afraid to fall during sleep. In addition, to eat at the table, it often has to disturb the neighbor from the bottom shelf.

Upper shelves

At the upper places it is pretty stuffy, especially with not good ventilation of the car when the courtyard is a hot summer. To take your luggage if it is in a specially designated compartment under the bottom shelf, you will have to disturb the people.

The advantages of the lower shelf - it is not necessary to climb. This is the main plus. Below is comfortable how to sit and lie down. You can look out the window, it will be nice to discharge the situation on the way. To eat, do not need to ask to free the seat at the table.

There are little shortcomings, but they are. It is almost impossible to sleep in the daytime. A neighbor from above will often go down, for example, to go to the toilet, sit, eat. Since the passenger of the upper shelf has the full right to occupy a sedentary place at the day in the daytime, it will not allow the passenger's own thoughts, located at thenime. Periodically, the neighbor's footsteps will be observed from above, which "OHA" crawl into its two-storey apartment.

Note! You need to choose the suitable tickets in advance, since "good" are bought first.

Features of the journey of a separate category of passengers

Before deciding which places it is better to take a reserved sequarters, you need to choose a passenger category:

  • pregnant women;
  • elderly people;
  • suffering from diseases of the musculoskeletal system, the vestibular apparatus;
  • children.

By virtue of its physiological features, such people need to buy comfortable places in advance, it is desirable bottom. A woman in a position or an elderly person can hardly be able to climb on the top seat without an extraneous assistance, but it's more so. A child can simply fall from the top shelf. Passengers with children warn their children - we are going to the placentar, remind the rules of security and behavior in trains.

With various diseases accompanied by violation of movements and coordination, the ride on the second floor can be quite attendant. In such cases, it is better to choose places on the lower shelves and not far from the toilet or use the train of Russian Railways "Swallow" with sedentary wagons.

Traveling in a placentar may be pleasant and comfortable, if you take care of this in advance, to buy the most convenient places for yourself, based on some of the above features.

Most of our country's inhabitants prefer to ride in second-class wagons of Russian Railways. It is not surprising: reserved seats makes it possible to get to the right place, saving. Interestingly, second-class wagons run only on Russian railways. Foreigners such trains seem very dicky. Unlike the coupe, the second-class wagons are not very good. Experienced travelers know what places it should be preferred that the journey passes in the most comfortable conditions.

So, you decided to buy train tickets. What places to choose?

The best are the places from the first on the fourth. Why? Everything is very simple. Similar places 53 and 54 are practically not found on sale: as a rule, the blankets are located on them. Therefore, those who will go at the first places of the placentar will cost without neighbors, which means that their travel conditions can be compared with the conditions in the jewelry car. In addition, there is a place of the conductor, which means that the toilet located nearby will be clean and you do not have to suffer from an unpleasant smell. Finally, not far from you there will be a boiler, and you do not have to carefully carry a glass of boiling water through the entire car. Yes, and things do not have to carry for a long time: upon arrival it will be enough to make a couple of steps. Thus, it is necessary to strive to buy tickets. It is not the first four places of a second-class car. Unfortunately, many travelers know about it, so the tickets for these places are diverged primarily and to buy them will have to try.

Further, in our ranking of the level of comfort, there are places that have numbers from 5 to 32. This includes all the places other than the sidewalls that are not near the toilet. Just a good place in a placentar, which are quite convenient and allow you to get to the destination in a relatively comfortable environment.

In third place are the side places from 33 to 36 and the side places that are not near the restroom.

By the way, many prefer to avoid side seats. Why? Here are the main disadvantages of the "sideways":

Sleep and is needed at the same place: the lower bed is transformed into the table. Therefore, unfamiliar people go on top and bottom, conflicts may arise. If the passenger from the bottom decides to take a nap, to the one who rides on the top shelf will have to search where to drink tea or a snack;

The inhabitants of the "sideways" are also hurt the neighbors by the car. Therefore, sleep does not work. Especially strongly "gets" from children who splash out energy, running around the car;

During sleep, the head of one passenger is not far from the foot of another, which also causes some physical and moral inconvenience;

A sleeping place has a small length, so high people will not be easy to settle comfortably and convenience.

Places that are located near the restroom (from 33 to 36) should also be chosen. The disadvantages of these places are associated with the availability of the toilet room. Doors to the toilet throughout the path will constantly be open, then closed. It does not allow not only to fall asleep, but also relax. In addition, despite the existing bans, some passengers continue to smoke in the toilet, so people who will go on the ground 33, 34, 35 and 36 will suffer from unpleasant odor. Yes, and in general, the smells that come from the restroom even when no one smokes there, they can interfere normally eat.

What option prefer, if the best places are occupied? Not easy to answer. It should only be borne in mind that the worst places are the sidewalls located near the restroom. Such places are usually longer than unspecified.

Summarizing, list the main disadvantages and advantages of the upper and lower shelves:

On the upper shelves you can sleep well. You do not have to give way to passengers who want to eat;

Under the lower shelves it is easier to hide luggage. In addition, it will be easier for you to get bags;

Bottom shelves are safer. This is especially important for passengers who go along with children;

Elderly people and pregnant women are not easy to climb the upper shelf.

Placer ranks third in comfort, yielding a coupe and sv. One such car is designed for 54 passengers, for each of which an individual regiment is provided. It can be top, bottom or side - every category has 18 seats. The section of the 2-upper and 2-lower beds forms a separate compartment that does not have the door. Side shelves are located opposite each such opening.

Council. Remember that the lower shelves are assigned odd numbers (1,3,5, etc.), the top - even (2,4,6, etc.). Places from 37 to 54 are lateral.

It should be borne in mind that some reserved places have features:

  1. Each car has so-called. "Emergency" sections, windows in which do not open. There are places from 9 to 12 and from 21 to 24, as well as 43.44, 49, 50. And if in a jewelry car, where in similar rooms (coupe No. 3 and No. 6) are accurately the same such clogged windows, but You can use the air conditioning, then there is no such service in the placentar.
  2. To have permanent access to the outlet, not referring to the appropriate request to the conductor, you need to choose the 2nd or penultimate section of a second-class car. These are places 5-8, 29-31, as well as 39, 40, 51 and 52.
  3. In each placentar there are 4 shelves, which are shorter than those of about 15 cm. These are places under No. 1, 2, 35, 36.
  4. Place 36 is considered one of the most unsuccessful for a number of reasons. First, behind the wall is a toilet, secondly, a partition is installed there, in which the passenger's legs are resting (in other cases they are turned into a pass). In addition, this is the top place, but the partition that helps rise, there is no.
  5. Luggage compartments of sections that are in close proximity to the conductors can be occupied by coal or blankets. In the "risk zone" first places (1-4), as well as side 53 and 54.

It is quite logical that the choice of the most convenient place depends on the personal preferences of each passenger. For example, someone loves to ride only on the lower shelves. In particular, these places are convenient for older people, fat passengers, mothers with minors who occupy one shelf for two. Some people buy for these places, fearing that during a sharp braking of the train from the upper shelf you can fall. In addition, it is always available to take advantage of the table - there is a secretly passengers from the lower places most often consider it "their own." However, to give up to neighbors from above, everything else has to: you may be asked to move to a snack or just sit.

Another category of people is more comfortable to ride at the top: none of the travelers will hurt these places. You can safely lie down, turn away to the wall, read or bite. In addition, such places are slightly cheaper. Some passengers prefer the top shelves if they travel alone, they ride a night train or short distances.

Council. If a neighbor from the bottom shelf does not allow you to a table or simply does not give to sit in its place, contact the conductor. In the extreme case, call the train chief.

In the rules of carriage there is no point that forces passengers to "share" the bottom shelf, but at the same time there is a principle that limits every person in abuse of its rights. In any case, try to negotiate peacefully.

Side places with many passengers are considered the most uncomfortable. If in the section at least somehow you can organize a personal space, then the person is located almost in the corridor, where someone is walking. However, some are advantageous here. For example, a table is designed not for 4 people, but for only two. True, at the same time the owner of the lower side place will have to transform its regiment so that the neighbor is able to have lunch.

If you are still whether, reviews and recommendations of the passengers will prefer to decide on to decide:

  • places 35-38 are located next to the toilet, so if you worry that the unpleasant smell will spoil your trip, do not take tickets for them;
  • it is quite comfortable to go to the section located near the conductor: and the toilet is not far, and the smell is not, and tea can be organized at any time (buy or make it yourself - the titanium for heating water is also close);
  • in winter, it is better to take places closer to the center of the wagon, because at each stop there will be passengers, inlet cold;
  • places in the middle are also good for those who do not like when people are sinking: to the toilet or in a tambour to smoke;
  • places from 29 to 31 are located near the toilet, but the smell does not feel here. But you can always see if there is a queue of those who want to wash. It is also convenient if you need to make a children's pot (so as not to carry around the corridor);
  • if you are going together, it is convenient to take the top and bottom shelf in one compartment or even on the side. Then outsiders will not encroach your places.

Council. If you are afraid to fall from the shelf while braking trains, take tickets to the places that closer to the head car.

There are outlets in the placentar of the outlet 5,7,8,9,29,30,31,32,41,42,59,60, and also at the end of the car near the toilet and the trash can.

On the one hand, go near the socket is cool, as it is convenient to charge your smartphone. But at the same time, it threatens around the clock running other passengers to your place.

If possible, you should take a tee with you on a trip so that several people can use one socket at the same time. Also Pilot will help protect the technique from voltage drops. But it is better to score on the sockets in the wagons and carry Power Bank with you.

- Greek salad 220 rubles
- Pork with young potatoes 500 rubles

One of the most pleasant ways to go on a journey is the railway. Everyone who at least once visited the wagon-compartment, the sign of the wheels, tea in a glass with a cupboard and unhurried conversations with fellow travelers. However, few people are familiar with his story and some interesting features. Moreover, even their own places in the wagon-coupe without the help of the conductor will not everyone can find.

All known model

Everyone from the children's years familiar all-metal wagons began to be made at the Ammenorf plant in the GDR plant specifically for the needs of the USSR. The manufacture and supply of it was started in the 60s and continued until the mid-80s. This production of wagons was the most massive in the history of the railway. All of them were produced more than 30 thousand.

At the moment, this type of vehicle is actively written off in all CIS countries. This situation occurs on Russian Railways. The wagon-compartment produced in Ammendorf, although hasited for our fellow citizens, but does not meet the modern requirements of the transportation of passengers.

Scheme of the wagon coupe

Ticket in Hands, but where to go with him - really, a familiar situation? So that such questions do not occur, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the scheme of the wagon coupe.

Let's start with the decryption of the "coupe" concept. This is the type of a second-class sleeping passenger carriage. By degree of convenience, it is significantly better than a reserved sector, but less comfortable than suite or St. Depending on the type of coupling cars are divided into 9 or 10 hotel coupes. Each of them is closed by departing door and is intended to accommodate four people. It has a folding table, hanger, luggage shelves and drawers. The mirror hangs on the door. The wagon-compartment of the modern model is usually equipped with air conditioning.

All verse wagons are necessarily equipped with titanium for heating hot water, a coupe for recreation of a conductor, a working area of \u200b\u200bconductors, two bathrooms and tambours.

A total of 36 or 40 venue cars. Moreover, they are numbered according to the following principle: all odd places are lower, and all even - the top. Numbering seats starts from the conductor's coupe.

Wagon-compartment wagon

The price of CV and Lux \u200b\u200bin the wagons is at least twice the cost of the usual jewel. Why is such a difference?

The scheme of the wagon of increased comfort is different from the second class already studied by us. That's just one or two passengers are placed in SV. All shelves in the car lower. At the same time, the amount of coupe remains the same, that is, the passengers are at least twice as fewer, respectively, less noise, compensation and unexpected situations caused by the human factor.

For the convenience of passengers in each coupe of the first-class wagon, a wardrobe and a TV are additionally installed. Shelves are softer, necessarily with backrests for seating.

Since the upper shelves in such a type of wagons are missing, there are additional luggage compartments in their place.

The interior of the car is also somewhat different from its second-class counterparts. It is there at least minor, but in general, referring to minimalist design details. And the finishing materials are most of its highest quality.

Best place in the car

It seems that all places of the wagon compartment are the same. However, among them you can find the best and worst. For example, a place at number 36 few people love, as it is an extreme upper shelf at the toilet. His main drawback is a constant noise in the corridor, behind the wall and unpleasant smell.

Also, experienced travelers are not recommended to acquire places in the coupe nearest to conductor. Luggage compartments in them can be occupied by blankets, convolutions with transmissions and other things. If you are not lucky and this situation will happen, it will be completely pointless to argue and swear - there is little place in the train, and all this is good anyway needs to be stored somewhere.

According to the majority, the best places in the wagon of the coupe - 9, 11, 13 and 15. Titan, conductor, toilet and important smokers) nearby. And at the same time, they are located far enough so as not to feel the smell of the toilet and smoke cigarettes.

Safety or Fresh Air

Before proceeding with the selection of tickets, you need to know about another trunk of sleeping passenger cars. In the coupe below the numbers 3 and 6 windows do not open. And not only in the jewelry car. In the sv and placentar, the situation is similar.

There is no possibility to open windows due to the special design of the frames, since it is through this coupe that passenger evacuation is assumed in the event of an accident. It is believed that a semi-shot window can become a serious obstacle on the way.

So, if you like fresh air, these places are not for you.
