Most recently, the train was perceived as malokomfortnoy way to travel across the country. But over time, the level of comfort for passengers began to grow. In the long-distance trains already became the norm when the set of facilities include napkins, towels, hygiene items.
But the speed of movement remained the same. To change the time and raise the quality of service are called to train a new generation.
The Latest high-speed train called Sapsan. So the company of rail transportation shows that new rolling stock was just as fast and swift as the bird of the Falcon family.
Specially for the Russian Corporation JSC "RZD" German engineering company Siemens designed the "Sapsan" train, car scheme which is fundamentally different from the usual for many Russians. The design maximum speed of the new car reaches 350 km/h.
The basis of the new trains was taken platform Velaro, ICE 3 trains. The design complies with the standards and climatic conditions of Russia.
Trains are operated in both directions "Moscow-St. Petersburg" and "Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod". With the last branch trains, as a rule, a dual-system where the length of the journey of 436 kilometres maximum speed reaches 160 km/h. while a single train first direction moving at a speed of 250 km/h when the length of 645 km.
Unlike the usual layout in trains "Sapsan" the car scheme is fundamentally new. And as such, the locomotive of the composition is no longer here.
In Russia already there was an attempt to develop a train with a maximum speed capability of up to 350 km/h since 1992 for seven years the CDB for marine engineering "Rubin" were preparing for the release of the first high-speed Russian train - "the Falcon-250" (ES-250). And by 2000 was assembled prototype.

Construction solutions "Falcon" had no analogues in practice of domestic engineering. He possessed these characteristics:
But the development of "Falcon-250" has been suspended and frozen, as it was decided that it is easier and cheaper to use the Siemens developments with small modifications, taking into account the Russian realities.
The First flight of the "Sapsan" made along the route "Moscow-St. Petersburg" December 17, 2009.
It consisted of 10 wagons with a total capacity of over 600 passengers, the route was covered in 3 hours and 45 minutes.
Below the photo shows the train "Sapsan" (car scheme 4).
In trains "Sapsan" scheme of the dining car is fundamentally different from the traditional concept of "restaurant". It is divided into two zones. One area with a snack bar and stands with standing places for a quick snack, the second - with comfortable seats with tables for four passengers. Order food from restaurant and other passengers on the train, and the cars of the business class food is included in the ticket price. Set lunch and service is reminiscent of the proposed aircraft.
As with air travel, in trains "Sapsan" for the convenience of passengers is the carriage of the 1st class.
Driving train "Sapsan" passengers 1st class is presented below.
In Addition to special meeting rooms, places in which are bought in four people, here to passengers are leather armchairs. They folding, adjustable backrest, not only for the entire back and lumbar area.
To enhance convenience there is individual lighting with separate entertainment system. Provided Wi-Fi zone and the ability to charge mobile devices.
The transitions between the cars are made "accordion" without transitional doors, and meanwhile own passenger compartments separated by transparent sliding doors, equipped with photosensors, and so they open/close automatically.
When passing the entire structure, from head to tail, to exert physical effort in opening doors is not necessary. Integrity exterior doors are designed so that when the outdoor temperature is 20⁰ temperature inside constant and comfortable throughout the composition.
In high-speed trains "Sapsan" the car scheme is thought out so that the large hand Luggage was in a separate compartment, and small things well placed on the upper shelves.
Now it may seem strange that to buy a ticket it is possible not only in the station building, but also directly in the train.
As reflected in the scheme 6 train, "Sapsan" also has a special place for people with disabilities. There is a special area for wheelchairs and the seatsfor people with disabilities. For the convenience of such people, the toilet is equipped with special handrails, and the door to the wagon is designed to the dimensions of wheelchairs. In the same car and you'll ticket office, and for mothers with infants allocated a small room with a changing table.
For the convenience of passengers, the carriages are equipped with special monitors, which displays system information about the train and entertainment. Passengers are equipped with individual disposable headphones, between the seats is the control panel. Using the buttons you can select multiple radio channels or watch and listen to the video.
Depending on the type of car and the ticket price on the route is the ability to connect to services on the Internet. In separate cars this service is available for an additional fee.
Also the passenger in transit can take advantage of periodic printing editions which are located in a special pocket of the seat.
Each car is scoreboard that online displays information about the temperature and the current speed of the whole.
The ticket to this high-speed train catches the eye warning label stating that Smoking on the train is strictly prohibited. And for good reason.
Below shows a schematic representation of another wagon train "Sapsan". The scheme of the carriage 9 is as follows.
All cars, utility rooms and toilets equipped with sensors that react to even the slightest smoke. The sensors work to detect the signs of smoke, as the entire composition automatically brakes and stops the movement as long as the cause of the smoke is eliminated.
In the route with the police constantly watching the special outfit of the security forces, both in form and in civilian clothes.
Overall, despite the difference in price compared to regular trains, the train "Sapsan" high demand from passengers. If you compare the cost of flights on the plane in the budget class, the price may seem high. But we must remember that the train comes from almost the center of one city to the center of the other. So for those who value their time, "Sapsan" – a great choice!
