| Has anyone used Russian Railways (rzd.ru) to buy a ticket directly? Although the site is currently only in Russian, just wondering if anyone has tried to buy tickets this way? |

| You can order tickets without any ptoblems that way, but you can recive the tickets only on railway stations with 'Express-3' electronic terminal. |

| Just returned from Russia and can report that the train ticket Internet purchase/pickup worked just fine. I took my printed receipt (which had a barcode on it) to the window marked with a e with a circle around it (like an "at" sign except with an e) and the woman scanned it and printed out my tickets, just like that. This was for the Moscow-St. Petersburg train leaving at 16:30 from the Leningradskii vokzal (if it's still called that)--for 2 it cost $197.63 one way (which is all I needed) on my Visa statement, which was cheaper than any of the online agencies quotes. |
