Notes:
*All train schedules are for winter season now. Summer schedule is going to be changed in beggining of the May.
*The
schedule for train # 24 from Ulaanbaatar to Beijing changes every
year in May. And in the summer months there is an extra train travels
from Ulaabaatar to Beijing.
*
Train # 263 have only second class carriages with 4 beds/cabin. It
is possible to buy an extra berth each to give two people sole occupancy
of a second class compartment.
*Trains
# 4 travels from Moscow to Beijing and stopover in Ulaanbaatar. You
might get s seat on this train in Ulaanbaatar for Beijing, but only
the day the train departs from Irkutsk you will know if you can but
a ticket or not.
*On
the trains there is normally a plug on the corridor (so the provodnitsa
can vacuum the carpet !) and in first class there may be a plug in
your cabin. Electricity is 220 v AC voltages. You will need a European
type power plug with two round pins (similar to the two pin round
plug in China as well) Often the power on the train is switched off
and we have heard of entrepreneurial conductors charging portable
devices in their cabin overnight, for a price.
*First
Class/Second Class
Standard second class has four comfortable berths per cabin, with
36 people in each carriage. There are communal toilets and wash-basin
at both ends of each carriage. In first class there are just two berths
per cabin and only 18 beds in each carriage, the toilet facilities
are the same. On train #3/4/6/5 and Chinese train #23 out of Beijing
there are also first class deluxe carriage, with a shower room shared
between two cabins. Second class tends to be very social with cabin
doors left open during the day and people chatting in the corridors,
whereas in first class there is a little more space in the cabin and
so you tend to keep the door closed. The advantage of first class
apart from the extra privacy if you are traveling as a couple will
be fewer queues for the toilet in the morning and you are closer to
the dining car!
