Speed ​​and comfort are the most important things on long journeys. If you have chosen for yourself railway transport, then, of course, it will lose to aviation in terms of speed. However, it can provide more comfortable travel conditions than, for example, a business class on an airplane. This, of course, does not apply to all wagons. Most travelers who value comfort on a trip choose SV for themselves. What is this? We will devote the article to the answer to this question. Consider the characteristics of such cars, services, present photos and reviews of the railway travelers themselves.

What is this?

SV - sleeping car, readers will immediately decide. However, the decoding of the abbreviation is not the only one. It is also historical - it refers us to pre-revolutionary Russia.

What is this? SV - "retinue car". That is, a car for the retinue - representatives of the royal family.

In modern times, this combination of letters means a sleeping car on a train. One that ensures the transportation of passengers in conditions of increased comfort.

What about the last feature? Increased comfort is the following:

Services in a sleeping car

SV car. What is it in terms of services? For passengers here, the rail carrier offers the following:

• Safe.
• TV.
• The bathroom is directly in the compartment.
• Soaked bed linen.
• Hygiene items for travel.
• Providing a variety of hot meals during the trip.

What is this wagon? SV refers to 1st class carriages on Russian railways. However, this introduces some confusion. Indeed, the first class on Russian Railways also includes "Lux" (soft) cars, which are more comfortable than SV.

Service classes

SV car. What is it, we sorted it out. However, this is just a characteristic of the car. Additionally, your ticket will also have a designation of the class of service. The following categories have been introduced for CB cars:

• 1B. In other words, this is business class. Usually includes air-conditioning of the compartment and a number of additional services.
• 1E. SV-car of the highest class, designed for VIPs.
• 1E. This can be called both option 1B and 1E, but only sold for some reason at a reduced cost.
• 1U. Also a first-class carriage, but with the very minimum of additional services.
• 1L. SV-type car, but without providing additional services to the passenger.

Let's look at each service class in more detail.

1B

SW - what is it? This is the name of the sleeping car of increased comfort. If you want to purchase tickets for SV 1B, then this will mean the following:

• Purchasing such a ticket means that you buy the whole compartment. With this in mind, the cost of travel is added.
• The compartment will have a pleasant microclimate - air conditioning is sure to work.
• You can carry a small pet in your compartment in a special container.
• on the entire journey (for example, the Russian carrier CJSC TKS offers passengers a comprehensive breakfast and dinner).
• Mineral water and various hot drinks (coffee, tea, hot chocolate).
• Slippers.
• Shoe horn, paper and wet wipes, comb, shoe polish, toothbrush and toothpaste.
• Fresh linens.
• Fresh press - magazines, newspapers.

In addition, your compartment will feature the following amenities:

1E

SW - what is it? The decoding, as you remember, is a sleeping car. We list the amenities and services that await you when purchasing a CB 1E ticket:

• Air conditioning in every compartment.
• Passenger protection through the use of video surveillance systems.
• Each compartment has a shower, washbasin and dry closet.
• In each compartment (compartment) there is also a TV, a safe and individual sockets.
• The following services will be included in the price of your ticket: hot meals, hot drinks, drinking water, travel kit (hygiene products and an arsenal for shoe care), bed linen.

Such a ticket also implies the redemption of the entire compartment - for one or two passengers. You can travel in 1E, for example, on Moscow-Berlin flights, on Strizh trains (Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod).

1E, 1L and 1U

NE on the train - what is it (photos on the train are presented in the article)? The abbreviation refers to a luxury carriage, for which several classes of service have been introduced. Let's take a look at the last of them:

• 1E. The same set of services that we have listed for 1B and 1E. There is only one difference: in this case, the passenger does not redeem the entire compartment, but acquires only one seat in it.
• 1U. The passenger also travels in a first class carriage - SV. However, the price of his ticket does not include a set of additional services (except for bed linen). Some of them he can pay separately at will.
• 1L. Perhaps you will meet such a class of service. It also involves traveling in a first-class carriage, but with one drawback - there will be no personal dry closet in your compartment. The restroom here is shared by the entire car.

Please note that all the above classes of service allow the passenger to carry small pets in special containers.

Let's also introduce the reader to a worthy analogue of SV, first-class carriages. These are trains with RIC layout cars. They boast the following: 10 double compartments (upper and lower shelves), bathroom, armchairs, washbasin.

Comparison with a reserved seat car

You and I already know that these are seats on the SV train. Let's compare them with other types of wagons to highlight the main advantages and disadvantages.

If we compare the SV with the second-class open car, then the sleeping car will win in almost everything:

• Isolated, completely closed personal space from other passengers.
• Wide sleeping shelves, their convenience and softness.
• Everything you need for traveling in your compartment - a bathroom, sockets, a compartment for luggage and outerwear, armchairs, a washbasin.
• The ability to adjust the microclimate parameters according to your own, and not according to the general desire.
• The level of service, the attentive attitude of the conductors.

Second-class carriages are good only in one indicator - a trip in this class will cost you about three times cheaper than in SV. But saving is only good for short trips. To spend more than 2 days in a reserved seat is a real test.

Coupe comparison

What is this, a NE seat on a train? Many decide - the same coupe, but only with a set of additional services.

Not certainly in that way. Over a closed second-class carriage (compartment), a sleeping car (CB) has a number of significant advantages:

• The number of passengers in your compartment. The most unexpected neighbors will go with you in a compartment. In SV you can fully redeem a compartment for yourself and your family. If you are traveling 1U, 1E, then you will have only one companion (as practice shows, if other compartments are free, then a person will choose the one where he will go alone, rather than traveling with a neighbor).
• The maximum level of services, the provision of food, the care of the conductors.
• Increased comfort and safety.

There is only one plus for the coupe in front of the SV - the cost. A trip in a closed second-class carriage will cost you 2 times cheaper than in a sleeping one.

Comparison with "Lux"

Now let's compare the SV with the carriages of a higher class - "Lux". Here the sleeping car will already play:

• The compartment "Lux" is 1.5-2 times larger than the standard compartment.
• There is a comfortable bathroom equipped with a vacuum toilet.
• Safe.
• Individual air conditioning system.
• TV, video player.
• Meals and drinks (up to alcohol) included in the price.
• Fresh press.
• Extended hygiene kit.
• Bar in the car.
• Fellow travelers are excluded - the coupe is redeemed here only in its entirety, without exceptions.

As for the cost, a trip in the "Lux" car will cost you 1.5-2 times more than in the SV.

A branded train is a train with high quality service and a wide range of services.

The schedule of such a train is developed taking into account the most convenient time of departure and arrival at the final station or the shortest time on the way.

Currently, branded trains carry passengers to various regions of the country, connect the capitals of the republics of the Russian Federation.

The main differences of branded trains:

1. Convenient traffic schedule (compared to alternative passenger trains long distance).

2. Modern cars not older than 12 years after construction, equipped with air conditioners.

3. Qualified guides who have been trained according to a special program.

4. Bedding, bedding and sanitary items of improved quality.

5. Before boarding, bed linen is laid on the upper berths, with the exception of the side berths in second-class carriages.

6. Comfortable dining car with an expanded range of dishes.

And, of course, a guaranteed set of services: the sale of tea and confectionery products, printed publications, souvenirs and other goods for the journey.

In the branded train, you can choose the type of car to your taste!

As part of branded trains, various types of cars run recent years the buildings: with seats, reserved seats, compartments, MIKST, SW And Suite, as well as double-deck cars (with seating and sleeping places) that can satisfy the widest range of wishes and preferences of passengers, including passengers with limited mobility who use a wheelchair.

Hello friends! We deal with an interesting topic - NE in the train. What is it - NE places? What class, what level of comfort, what services are provided by default, and which are ordered for an additional fee.

Traveling by train is always romantic. But comfort plays an important role.

It is important to know, because tickets to the SV car are not cheap, therefore, you need to understand what we are paying money for. If we talk about the CIS countries, then in comparison with the compartment, which is also considered to some extent comfortable, SV is 2 times more expensive, and Ukrainian railways offer a cost even higher at 2 and a half.

SV carriages belong to the first class of comfort, capable of carrying 16 or 18 passengers plus a single compartment - the conductor's workplace. On international flights the car is equipped with 22 seats or 33. The first option assumes the presence of exclusively 2-seater compartments, the second - 3-seater compartments.

Why are NE seats on the train attractive?

The abbreviation SV is interpreted as a sleeping car. But not just sleeping, because you can sleep both in a compartment and in a reserved seat, the only question is - how?

In NE you will not only sleep in conditions of increased comfort, but also enjoy additional benefits. These include:

1. Places- lack of upper shelves. Seats can be 2 or 3.
2. Interior- pleasant, expensive, well-groomed.
3. Bed dress- fresh from natural textiles.
4. Air- the latest air conditioning technology.
5. Hygiene- an improved bathroom, a set of hygiene items.
6. Nutrition- breakfast, dinner. Lunch will be provided, subject to availability of additional services.

Each passenger has his own individual space, there are comfortable chairs for sitting, there is enough space for clothes in built-in wardrobes, mirrors are located on the door and on the walls.

It looks like a SV car with a TV and a safe

Valuables are hidden in a safe, you can spend your leisure time watching TV. If you need a conductor, he will be called with a special button.

The SV car on the train can be different

The conditions for passengers are very attractive, especially if you plan to travel with children, the elderly, small pets (they can also be transported to the ST). The desire to buy a ticket for a SV car on a train can only be extinguished in connection with the cost. But reasonable solutions are also available here.

Maximum comfort level - Luxe

Here you are absolutely protected from random fellow travelers. Such cars are used by bosses, high-ranking officials, people with personal privileges. This category is commonly referred to as VIPs.

In the car, everything is of the highest class, respectively, the price is also high. But it's not SW! Do not confuse. This is the Suite, the most complete, comfortable Suite.

If you are a well-known politician, a popular show business star, a big businessman, then the Suite with the following set of services is perfect for you:

• separate bedroom;
• increased (sometimes 2 times) compartment area;
• mini-bar with alcoholic drinks;
• plasma TV;
• improved set of hygiene items;
• the comfort of the bathroom - shower and vacuum toilet.

Comfort in a luxury car at the highest level

It is very pleasant to ride in such a carriage, and as for the price, it is not at all necessary to be a star, a politician or an oligarch. If you plan a trip in advance and buy tickets in advance at the maximum time allowed for this, then it is highly likely that you will be given a significant discount when buying.

What does compartment SV 1B mean on the TKS train?

You already know what SV is, and the abbreviation TKS means that transportation can be carried out not only by Russian Railways, but also by a private Russian company - TransClassService, which has a license from the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation and is distinguished by the highest quality of services.

SV 1B from TKS is a business class car. In addition to the basic services, there are a number of additional ones:

1. Extended meals (during the whole trip you will be provided with breakfast and dinner).
2. A complete set of hygiene items, including slippers.
3. Tea, coffee, chocolate, mineral water are provided free of charge.
4. Latest press, Wi-Fi, safe (access is provided by magnetic card).
5. You can power your laptop or phone using an individual outlet.

Such cars are distinguished by an increased level of safety for passengers - there is constant video surveillance and round-the-clock security.

Compartment 1B in a business class car from TKS

Buying 1B tickets from both Russian Railways and TKS has one peculiarity - you need to buy a whole compartment, that is, all 2 seats.

What are the advantages of the CB 1E coupe?

The buyout rule for the whole compartment is also valid for this class of CB. The set of services here is similar to the business class, in addition, 1E compartments have VIP status and are equipped with:

• shower and dry closet;
• plasma TV;
• individual sockets;
• safe with several keys;
• shoe care products.

Here in such super conditions your trip by train can take place. And then even the longest journey will not become tiring, provided that you pay for the comfort.

You can also travel in such a cool VIP carriage

How to buy SV seats on the train at a more budgetary cost?

Comfortable conditions at a more economical price can be obtained by choosing one of the options described below:

1. RIC is a similar offer, however, it is relevant only for trains of international importance. In terms of comfort, it corresponds to class 1B, however, the places differ in both the lower and upper positions.
2. SV 1U - 1st class service on the train, but additional services are not included. Only bed linen is available, which is provided for each passenger, regardless of seat class.
3. SV 1L - everything, as in the previous case, but there is no dry closet.
4. SV 1E - luxurious conditions of class 1E and 1B, you have the right to buy only one ticket (you do not need to buy all the compartments).

We can say that such an offer is a kind of luck - you won’t be able to buy in advance, but if last-minute tickets appear on a certain route (there are too many empty seats in the CB car), then you can buy them at a very attractive reduced price.

Offer of seats in the SV carriage of increased comfort at a special price

Conclusion

What is CB in the train is understandable - comfort, convenience, pleasant pastime in the car, almost home atmosphere, cosiness. But for a higher fee. This is logical, because quality service is not cheap.

Nevertheless, there are options in which you can afford such a pleasant trip in all respects for more low price. What do I need to do:

• buy a ticket in advance (there is a possibility of a discount (from 40% and more), especially if the purchase takes place 2 months before the trip (sales on international routes open 90 days in advance);
• monitor the availability of tickets in the desired direction, it is possible that there will be few passengers and the carrier will have hot offers in the public domain.

And another important point - small pets can be transported in special containers in CB cars. This is a significant advantage, because sometimes our smaller brothers have no one to leave to.

And I'll go to SW

That's all, friends. Have a nice trip comfortable places and interesting fellow travelers! All health and good luck!

When purchasing a train ticket, passengers may have questions regarding the interpretation of the alphanumeric designation indicated on the ticket as 2K or 1C. The combination of characters can be any, as well as the information hidden behind them. Knowing what is hidden behind such a combination of numbers and letters means understanding what class of carriage is meant and what list of additional services you can count on.

We will consider the marking of wagons proposed by the Federal Passenger Company, but other carriers have the right to establish it at their discretion.

RIC cars

Such cars are inherent only in international trains, mainly in the European direction. Differ in size and layout passenger seats, 2-3 people can go.

What is a SV wagon and what advantages does it have? This question is of interest to many Russian Railways passengers, because each of us wants to travel in the most comfortable conditions.

What is the SV in the Russian Railways train? According to the generally accepted wording, this is a sleeping car, consisting of nine one-, two- or three-seater compartments and designed to carry 18 passengers.

Its main characteristic feature is an increased level of comfort.

The first SV-cars appeared in 1867. Their inventor is the famous American engineer J. Pullman. It was he who first introduced the public to passenger seats that can turn into comfortable loungers.

Prior to this, all the seats on the trains were exclusively sedentary and, moreover, quite hard.

What is included in the CB car? In addition to more comfortable sleeping places, CB has several important advantages:

It is worth noting the interior decoration of such cars - it is distinguished by its solidity and pleasant appearance.

In RZD branded trains, the equipment of sleeping cars and the range of services provided may vary slightly.

Naturally, increased amenities could not but affect the cost of the trip.. In 2020, it can be compared with the price of an air ticket in economy class (for equivalent routes).

Classification of sleeping cars

All CVs providing domestic passenger transportation are divided into several classes of service. The latter determine not only the list of services provided, but also the overall layout of the car.

To understand how this or that abbreviation stands for, use this hint:

1B Business Class	Seats in the business class SV are provided by branded trains of the Russian passenger railway carrier ZAO TKS. Services include: air conditioning system; Issuance of hygiene items - comb, paper and sanitary napkins, toothbrush and paste, cream and shoehorn; Meals throughout the journey (breakfast and dinner); Fresh press; Drinks - mineral water, tea, chocolate, coffee; Bed sheets; Plasma TV; Slippers; WiFi; Safe (access using a magnetic card); Individual power sockets for laptops and mobile devices. Buying a ticket for a business class carriage involves buying out the entire compartment as a whole (the cost of the ticket is set precisely from this calculation).
1E sleeping car VIP class	Seats in class 1E CB are provided in high-speed trains"Swift" on the routes "Moscow - Berlin" and "Moscow - Nizhny Novgorod". The set of services includes: Air conditioning system; 24-hour security; CCTV; Travel set of sanitary and hygienic means; dry closet; Wash basin; Plasma TV; Individual sockets; Safe with several keys; Drinks and drinking water; Nutrition; Bed sheets; Slippers; Shoe care products. When buying a ticket in class 1E, the passenger must redeem all the compartments.
1E Analogue of class 1E or 1B with a reduced price	A ticket for such a carriage cannot be bought in advance. This “hot offer” from Russian Railways is thrown out for sale only in one case - when there are many free compartments left in a sleeping car on some route. Purchasing a ticket with a class 1E SV implies the redemption of only one passenger seat.
1U Class 1B comfort level, but with a minimum set of additional services	The conditions of service in 1U carriages correspond to the first class, but the passenger purchases all additional services (except for bed linen) separately.
1L Sleeping car without additional services	The simplest option among all sleeping cars. Provides a basic set of services (with the exception of the dry closet). Everything else can be paid on the spot and at will.
RIC	An analogue of SV, found only in international trains. Features top and bottom shelves. The level of comfort corresponds to class 1B.

Another additional service that applies to all classes of CVs is the possibility of transporting containers with small pets.

SV vs compartment car

What is the difference between a SV car and a coupe? The main factor that distinguishes a closed 2nd class compartment car from a sleeping car is not only the level of comfort, but also the number of passengers.

If you can still find a common language with one fellow traveler, then a noisy company of 3 people can turn a trip into an ordeal. In addition, compartment cars do not have a button to call the conductor.

What is the difference between a SV car and a Lux car? The latter, albeit a little, but still surpassed the NE classes in terms of comfort.

What is offered in the Suite:

A suite is a separate car with the highest comfort conditions and designed to carry a certain group of passengers (politicians, stars and other VIPs).

Outsiders are prohibited from entering such cars, so the appearance of random fellow travelers is completely excluded here.

Now you know what a CB car means and you will be able to choose the most comfortable conditions for yourself. In addition, the management of Russian Railways has recently been actively practicing a system of discounts designed to increase the number of ticket sales.

For example, now when buying tickets 2 months before departure, you can get a 40% discount.
