Year of the Passenger

A new Moscow – Berlin Strizh train was launched in the Year of the Passenger. Its carriages are equipped with a variable gauge system, unique in the Russian market, which automatically adjusts axle gauges for efficient conversion between Russian and European tracks.

Year of the Passenger 2016 Priorities

Children on Board Programme

  • Higher affordability of service
  • Services to passengers with reduced mobility
  • Improved government relations
  • Higher comfort and service quality
  • Developing a customer centric approach to passenger service

Under Children on Board Programme, FPC purchased two double decker inter-regional (open-plan seating) carriages with a children playroom for passengers with children. The carriage has everything a child may need: educational games, cuddle toys, a TV set, and colouring books. The first run of such train took place on the Moscow – Voronezh route on 27 December 2016.
