During the summer holidays, residents of Krasnodar rush to the sea. Fortunately, the distance is short, you can use your own car, suburban buses or the services of Russian Railways. It is better to check the schedule of electric trains Krasnodar-Sochi on the official website of the Russian Railways.
Where to find the timetable for commuter trains
You can find out the schedule of trains Krasnodar-Sochi at the ticket offices of railway stations, by calling the Russian Railways information desk or on several Internet sites, such as:
- pass.rzd.ru, - rasp.yandex.ru.
Despite such a monopolistic scale and multimillion-dollar revenues of the Russian Railways company, the official site turned out to be not the best project for viewing the schedules. To choose the best option for yourself, you have to drive the departure and arrival station into the appropriate columns, and then indicate the expected departure date. If there are no trains on the announced date, then you will have to choose the next day and so on until a suitable option is found. Quite a tedious task. It is not possible to view all available directions.
The site rasp.yandex.ru is much more convenient, it offers timetables of trains, buses and planes in one place. The list includes days of operation, departure and arrival times, and travel times. Recently, the site has implemented a ticket purchase function, however, you can buy it at the carrier's price from August 15 to August 29, 2014. Perhaps in the future Yandex will take a commission.
However, what prevents us from using these two sites at the same time. Choose a suitable option on rasp.yandex.ru, and purchase the ticket itself on the website pass.rzd.ru.
How to buy a ticket from Krasnodar to Sochi
We go to the site rasp.yandex.ru, choose the desired direction and date of departure. You should choose the appropriate option from the proposed list. Having decided on the transport, we go to the Russian Railways website and already there we drive in the necessary data in special windows.
The maximum travel time is suggested by the route of the Nizhniy Tagil-Adler train, which is 7 hours 4 minutes. The fastest was the route of train number 103 * In Adler - Moscow, it will take you to your destination in 4 hours 10 minutes. This is a new, double-decker rolling stock with WiFi.
You can buy a ticket online on both of the listed sites for almost all trains, with the exception of the 803C Lastochka express train, which runs between Krasnodar and Adler every day. The travel time from Krasnodar-1 to the railway station of the city of Sochi is 4 hours 18 minutes. In addition to the speed of the trip, there is another plus - convenient departure and arrival times. The train leaves Krasnodar at 06:32 Moscow time or local time, and arrives in Sochi at 10:56 am. Passengers have a whole hour left to get to the hotel, in most of which the estimated check-in time starts at 12:00.
