Trans Siberian Railway - 3rd class cabin tour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2018
- We travelled from #Irkutsk to #Yekaterinburg on the #Trans-Siberian 3rd class wagon. We’d had enough of instant ramen, so we put a bit more effort into a food preparation this time!

You were traveling in the 3rd class, you are strong guys. Now you can become a cosmonaut.
😆
Extreme trip! Not many Russians did something like this, u are very nice and brave couple)
The third class will give you the memories) unlike 2nd and 1st
Алекс Кос They all offer different types of memories I guess. But yes, we met some lovely families and children on our trip in 3rd class. We talked for hours, played games and shared food. It made the time go quickly and gave us memories we couldn't have planned 😃
Once I met a girl from Canada who did more or less the same journey from China to Europe through Mongolia & Russia. Her most memorable exprience in Russia was 3rd class train from Irkutsk to Moscow :)
talked for hours? Did you met someone speaking english? In third class from Irkutsk it's not very probably
@@BaldTitan You're right we didn't meet anyone that spoke English except a teenage girl who was learning at school. But we used google translate ans we drew pictures (with the kids) and we managed to learn about one another. The conversations took a while, but we had the time 😂
I am happy to know about the schoolgirl.
Third class is the best in my opinion (which is 100% biased bc I’m russian) and it makes me feel the most nostalgic
Third class was actually a great way to experience the Trans-Siberian. Getting to know the people sitting near us made it a very memorable trip 😀
There are new 3rd class carriage in some trains.They have air cons,vacuum toilets,e.t.c. But there are only 40% of the carriage fleet for now.
One lifehack-if you buying the train ticket on RZD website-there are several icons marking the carriage comfort level.Snowflake mean-air con.
Kvas -- is based on fermented bread. So its closer to beer (but kvas have only 0,1% alc) and other traditional drinks based on fermentation (kumys, kefir, yogurt etc)

Больше двух суток на боковушке в плацкарте😲Да вы герои😉
We were glad we had a window 😂
Well, thanks to "modern" (1960s) technologies they don't have 4th class anymore. It was the only affordable option for lower classes in the Russian Empire. Beds came in 3 rows, lower, middle and upper, with even less space between them. Moreover each 2 beds of the top and bottom pow could be combined into a 3-person bed that was narowwer then in modern hotel single.

He's so lovely.
You stopped and walked in the city called Krasnoyarsk. It is a big city about 1 mln people. It is located on a banks of the Yenisey river which is the largest river in Russia.
Thanks Fram :) Coming from Australia where most of the country is uninhabited it was hard to wrap our heads around just how many people live in Russia, and not just in the main cities.
I live in Krasnoyarsk. All vast Krasnoyarsk region is about 3 mln people and it is 3 times bigger then France for example. It span almost from Mongolia to the Arctic Ocean. So here in Siberia we have like 95% of the territory uninhabited.
+Fram
The biggest river in Russia is not the Yenisey, but the Ob'!
Yenisey makes 624 cubic kilometers of outflow per year, Ob is 394 km^3 per year. So Yenisey is 1.6 times bigger than Ob.
+Fram
The Ob' basin basin is 2 million 990 thousand km². According to this indicator, the river ranks first in Russia.
The Yenisei River basin area is 2,580,000 km² (the second largest in Russia).
Learn geography, ignoramus!

Great job guys. I dream of taking this trip. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
Hope you get to do it one day, it’s definitely worth it 😁
Круто!
You were not lucky with the railway car of the 3rd class. The new cars have air conditioning and an electrical outlet.
Alexey Most of the carriages on our train had aircon but because we booked last minute we just had to take what we could get 😣 It definitely pays to book early if you have set plans!
back in the 90s early 2000s you could just go up to the stewards if there weren't any tickets and just pay for one of the reserved cabins,.
Russian service leaves a lot to be desired.
New 3rd class carriage have air cons.
Beautiful train journey and the way you both talked to each other in the video, described us what is going on and expressed your feelings, is just amazing and I enjoyed it quite a lot. I wanted to see a bit more like how did you spend this long time, your conversation with other people on the train etc, sadly it is only 8 minutes long :(
Thanks for your comment 😊 it was a long train journey so hard to share it all!
Как приятно видеть англоговорящих в России))))) Have a nice travle and trip.
С каких пор вам англичанка гадить перестала? :)
@@oneanywhere8561 гадит англичанка, но не англичане и уж тем более не австралийцы.
Amazing and interesting jourmey...
Edwin Saragih we're so glad we decided to go by train and not just fly
You've got one more subscriber from mother Russia :) Such an extremely brave and cheerful couple you are!
Looks very hot but it’s experiencing the journey that counts. Great food variety well organised.
Kevin Hoppo we might have complained about the lack of aircon a bit too much... having proper food was so much better than 3 days of instant ramen!
Nice to watch you guys marching through Siberia regions ) Good videos, interesting to learn your thoughts while on the go
3rd class in Transsiberian is an opportunity to close meet locals or somebody else. You can find many Korean videos of them traveling the Transsib and meeting the locals. I even saw a video of Japanese tourist drinking with a Chinese group. Who knows who you might meet there?
Totally! Sharing a carriage with so many people is an experience, we had fun getting to know the people around us. There is something unique about the the 3rd class carriages, we recommend it 👍
Плацкартный вагон (3 класс), да ещё на "боковушке" !? Ребята вы экстремалы ! )))))))))))) Зачем было так мучить себя ? Через интернет можно выбрать качественный вагон, а не эту жуть без кондиционера...
3rd class !? You guys are extreme ! )))))))))))) So why torture yourself ? Through the Internet, you can choose a quality train, аnd not this horror without air conditioning...
We're brave! We really wanted to experience all 3 classes of train travel. We started with 1st class, then 2nd class and ended up in 3rd class. In hindsight we should have done it the other way around!
Это они еще не с вахтовиками рядом не ехали ))
@@rerbitd7094 или с дембелями )))
What an experience! Спасибо!
This kvass from Tomsk)) Come to Tomsk! Very beautiful old Siberian city
NOW ALL TRAINS IN RUSSIA USE LOCAL TIME! Don't miss that!
3rd class is OK but only for one night ride. and long distance trains usual have shower. for small money (about 150-200 rub). just ask conductors. btw they travel one week in this train :) and surely they use that shower.
We actually did use the shower on the train, but we didn't know you had to pay! The attendants even saw us go in there....maybe they just assumed we were in a higher class? It was very strange to shower on the train though!
yes, 150 rub. info in russian only, but google can translate it correctly i believe. ) fpc.ru/presentation/FPC/Page/Shower%20on%20the%20train.htm free shower was a compenstion for 1000-rub-haircut )))
It's very brave to go from Irkutsk to Moskow by train in 3rd class! I had a 6 hours trip by train in India. It was very interesting. We also met lovely people, talked with them, shared food. Subscribed to your channel. Thanks for very interesting videos!
Hopefully one day we'll experience Indian trains!
Man you folks go hardcore! 3rd class and the aisle beds :) are they even long enough to lay in? Folks, definitely get the 2d or 1st class. the tickets are a bit more but well worth it. I am very surprised you were drinking vodka speaking english, "Hello to my friend! we for to teach you the russian traditions, to your health!"
The aisle beds were definitely NOT long enough for us!
В плацкарте веселее...
wowee now THATS travellin' trez organamized feeding with it saweeet great post :-)
Dan Courier there's only a certain amount of instant ramen you can eat in a week!
Вам ребята повезло, что ваши боковушки не у туалета)
Oh, but they were! 😫
Увы, но плацкартные вагоны это суровая действительность РЖД( Надеюсь что несмотря на это у вас останутся хорошие впечатления от России)
И да, я специально пишу комментарий на русском для создания соответствующий атмосферы)
Thanks for your comment :) We definitely have a good impression of Russia and of the people. We were blown away by how nice Russian people really are!
Pachulin Russia, ну каждому своё. Я лично не могу жить без личного пространства и поездка в плацкарте для меня была бы ужасом, впрочем я в сознательном возрасте в нём и не ездил. Но несколько лет назад ехал сутки в купе - тоже то ещё удовольствие. А с учётом того что купе у РЖД стоит зачастую по цене самолёта, я лучше пару часов посижу в самолёте чем буду сутки трястись в такой скотовозке за те же деньги. А уж несколько дней непрерывной поездки в поезде вместо нескольких часов лёта - это вообще для мазахистов имхо.
Каждые 2 месяца езжу . Дорога занимает 4 дня . Нормально все . Поезд стал воспринимать как маршрутку ))
Туристы сами виноваты. Надо было по электронке с кондеем вагон брать. Всегда есть места.
zhodzky а я наоборот предпочитаю плацкарт, не вижу в этом ничего "сурового", люди мне не мешают :)
I think it was some technical problems, course normaly even 3rd class have air conditioning/

Haha, pretty much our alias UA-cam name!

Как там было у Пелевина: "Квас это uncola, либо Кола для Миколы"
This Kvass that you drunk wasn't a really a kvass! That was just a gassweet water with the taste of kvass!
😲
"Благодей" не настоящий квас, просто напиток с газом!
Квас это квас это не кола.Это хлебный напиток.
Квас - не кола, пей Николу!
We did similar travel in India, same seats. Feel your pain. You are super organised. Great to see your experiences.
Gail Eastwood we were lucky enough to have some good company on the train so it wasnt all bad
Holy smokes skippy peanut butter with Chinese labeling. Do you guys eat a lot of peanut better in Australia? I always thought it was one of those American things. I know Russians in general despise it.
Yeah peanut butter is pretty popular in Australia, and peanut flavoured things. Haha you noticed the Chinese label! We got that jar while in Beijing!!
How did you get phone service? Did you get a sim card or a plan via your home (Australia) carrier or just use a WIFI phone app?
We got SIM cards. We tried this in different countries, but with mixed results. It pays to do a bit of research online to see which phone carriers are better or what other travellers recommend. Also going into a proper phone shop to get one is a good idea as the staff will usually set it all up for you and make sure it works.
Квас так же есть как пиво по цвету.
07:25 Аджика :) люблю аджика :) аджика это не Pasta sauce :)
plur 😂😂 We did our best! We had a feeling that it might not have been but it was the closest we could find. Tasted ok though 👍 haha
:)
Adjika (Аджика) is eaten with meat (often) :) Adjika there are a lot of spices and a little tomato :)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajika You were lucky to get the modernized mild adjika. Some brands are extremely hot.
0 dislikes! Do you know why?
why in the second-class car and not in the compartment, it would be more comfortable??
Николай Питерский Comfort = money. We'd have loved to of stayed in a higher class but our aim is to travel long, not in luxury 😉 Plus, we wanted to experience all 3 classes.
У нас на дальнем востоке одни бичевозы ездят. Ближе к западу уже нормальные вагоны
What camera u have for video
come again vlog We're using the Canon EOS M6 with Rode VideoMicro microphone. Its a simple setup but compact and easy to use. Good for beginners like us too 😊
Why you travel if twice in first 5 minutes you don't know where you are?
Part of the fun 😉
Я ездил в плацкарте, когда Хрущев еще тапком по трибуне в ООН стучал. Добро пожаловать в суровую действительность пост СССР.
Сейчас плацкарт немнго другой.Кондеры есть даже в них зачастую.
Ехала 8 часов до Иркутска, была приятно удивлена, по два биотуалета с двух сторон, кондиционер, юсб на каждом месте, постель идеально чистая.
How much did you pay ?
You can find the fares on the russian trains website. Cost will vary depending on where you're going, what time of day and what class. Its definitely a lot cheaper if you book it yourself!
@@AprilandTimTravel oh thank you .can you please tell the official website of this train
you are riding like a real russians.only in platzkart wagon you can feel real russian life. moscow, st.petersburg it's bullshit but province of russia is real russia///привет из Сибири!
How much you pay for fare ?
come again vlog We paid around 5, 900 rubel each from Irkutsk to Yekaterinburg 3rd class. I'm sure you can get it cheaper if you book earlier, we purchased our tickets 2 days before we left.
Russian Railway Company is a government monopoly and it is very difficult to expect anything better. The previous head of the company is a former KGB officer who became a billionaire while in the office. He lives in Germany at this time.
Now prices in RZD dont depends on class but on date.
единственный способ комфортного передвижения в плацкарте - это армянский телепорт. 100 гр коньяка и спать
I am from Novosibirsk but live in Moscow and when I go to my hometown I travel by train called Kuzbass (Кузбасс) in a 3rd class. Kuzbass train has air conditioning in all classes and it is very nice and clean. It also has plug ins everywhere so you can charge your devices, use iPad when traveling. However, the 3rd class in Kuzbass train costs almost 10000 roubles plus your own food. It’s actually more expensive than a ticket by plane from Moscow to Novosibirsk. I always avoid traveling by such trains as you did. I’m sorry for you and those other people in the train. Nobody deserves to travel in such bad conditions. Russian government doesn’t do anything to modernize trains treating their own citizens as 3rd rate people and instead having astronomically expensive World Cups.
Olly Olly omg how u write about "condition", "plug in everywhere" etc, and then "government do nothing"??? :)))
10 тысяч за плацкарт до Новосибирска? Спасибо, я лучше на самолете...
Есть поезд Чита-Москва.Там в 2 раза дешевле и кондиционеры есть
ну колхозники.... кто же ест химию типа пасты ореховой и сникерсов в поезде дальнего следования. ? сначала запор дня на два, а потом несварение. по купе бы у соседей поинтересовались бы, что и как кушать надо. курица, огурчики помидорчики, калабаска, яйца, и чай до горла
My girlfriend told me "If you want to ride Trans-Siberian you will do it without me. You will ride with people who have not bathed for a week and smell bad."
Wet wipes are a must!
ColKorn1965 Actualy they've got shower cabins in every single train. You just have to ask the attendant. Second and third class passengers charged extra 150 rubles (around 2 USD) to use it. First class passengers sometime have personal shower cabins and sometime they use special cabin (one per car) it depends on the train you are travelling on.
How long have they had these shower cabins?
ColKorn1965 at least for 5 years. Last time I use those cabins three weeks ago but on another route.
@@random3362 OK, just curious. Seems like every time I leave Yaroslavski Station the Trans-Siberian is there. My girlfriend rode it to Krasnoyarsk with her grandmother in the 70's when she was about 12, so that may be where she gets the smelly people experience from. :)
3 klass is uncomfortable, it is noisy children, it is not always pleasant companions. We buy 3 class only if we want to save money. There is no romance .
No romance indeed 🤣 we were trying to save money as much as possible. But on the flip side its awesome meeting locals, random conversations with people is something you cant plan or pay for 🤗
