15.04.2021 Minsk

From April 30, it will be possible to get from Minsk to Moscow or back just in 7 hours, in comfortable conditions and for a reasonable fee.

The Russian carrier launches four Lastochka trains at once on the Moscow-Minsk route — No 717/722 and No 721/718. They will run every day.

The trip will take a little less than seven hours, versus 8-11 hours needed when travelling by the old type train.

In addition to the usual Lastochka trains, new premium trains will run between the capitals of the countries. In such trains, there are only five cars: business and economy class.

Lastochka is not only a fast train but also a modern one: it will not become a barrier for people with disabilities. The carriages are equipped with elevators for wheelchairs, and the seats are equipped with special fasteners, next to each seat, there will be a button to call the conductor
