Why on the train you can’t sleep on your bedding

Most traffic carried by Russian Railways captures both daytime and nighttime. Therefore, passengers have to sleep on the train. The standard procedure provided for by the rules of the railway in the Russian Federation provides for the issuance of a set of bed linen for each place on the train . The composition of this set depends on the type of car on which the ticket was purchased. And the price of it is included in the price of the ticket itself.

I want to sleep on my underwear!

A ticket buyer who plans a trip during the night hours may declare unwillingness to pay for a set of linen . In this case, its cost will be deducted from the ticket price.

But it’s important to take into account that if the cost of a bed set is deducted from the ticket price, then the conductor will not allow taking a public pillow, mattress and blanket . If the ticket provides for a place on the second shelf, and a set of linen was not purchased, then for the safety of the passenger only seat belts will be provided.

Important! It is forbidden to lay your own set on a mattress and pillow, which are the property of Russian Railways, due to sanitary and hygienic requirements.

This is done to exclude the possibility of infection in the common use of the mattress and pillow, through personal underwear.

And what does the railway offer?

If the passenger, when buying a ticket, does not declare that he refuses bedding, then the cashier will sell him a ticket, the price of which this service is already included in.

The price of the kit and its composition will vary depending on the type of car for which a passenger buys a ticket.

You will have to give about 290 rubles for such a pleasure, but only in an ordinary train and in a carriage in which increased comfort is not provided.

Branded train

For a branded train, a superior compartment is equipped with the same set of bed linen as for a regular train, but the price for it will already be 360 ​​rubles. Although the set remains the same.

Suite
