Hello,

I organized myself a nice train iteneray with the help of the train search system of waytorussia.net But after I forwarded my request to Svezhy Veter (as I heard the best russian ticket agent) they told me, that nearly all of the trains that your booking system gave me, don't leave on that particular date or are not bookable. Is it because all your timetables are not up to date or what is the problem? Should I try another agent?

For example your system says that train #009 (Baikal) is leaving Irkutsk on Tuesday, 24.6. - but Svezhy Veter told me that #009 is only departing on odd days, eg. 23.6. or 25.6. But also pezda.net says that #009 is leaving on the 24.6. - so I am quiet confused...
Furthermore I would like to book train #001 (rossiya) for my journey from Irkutsk to Moscow, but Svezhy Veter told me that this train is a passing train and can only be booked 3 days prior to departure. Is there any other possibilty to book this train?

Thanks for your help!!!
