What do the NEW first-class compartments on Russian trains look like? (PHOTOS)

Russian Railways’  new two-berth luxury SV compartments are now even cozier! Each compartment now features individual reading lights, power outlets, USB ports for charging gadgets, as well as multimedia screens with a selection of movies and music. There’s also more storage space for personal belongings, including a safe and a wardrobe for outerwear.

The length of the sleeping berths has also been increased to 2 meters (an extra 16 cm compared to the standard).

Each car can accommodate eight such compartments. Passengers also have access to a shower, hairdryer, iron and ironing board.

Currently, the new SV carriages are operating on routes No. 19/20 Rostov-on-Don – Moscow and #11/12 Anapa – Moscow. In the future, they’ll be introduced on trains between Moscow and Novorossiysk, Saransk, Voronezh, Tambov, Belgorod and St. Petersburg. What do you think? Would you take a ride in one?
