At 17.50, the train stopped at alarm signal in the area of \u200b\u200bUania Town (20 km from Lille).

Wounded Spencer Stone began to assist the passenger who received a bullet in the throat. On amateur frames, a bloody glass of the car can be seen. If the car gun did not stop so fast, he could pour Thalys blood.

Soon the train went to the nearest major station Arras. At the station, the composition was searched, and passengers were placed in a short time in neighboring gymnasium and checked all the documents.

In the bag of the criminal found nine charges, a gun and a knife.

"We avoided the terrible drama," said Bernard Kazznev, French Minister of Internal Affairs at the Arraraskaya Station. And the Polane, and Prime Minister Waltz and President Hollande expressed appreciation to the heroes that crushed the "car gun".

The passenger who received a gunshot wound, crossed the helicopter to the Hospital of Lille, and the main character, Stone, was taken to the hospital of the city of Arras.

Three comrades, by the way (you can add: "Extremely by the way"), they made the first voyage to Europe.

Ayub El Hazzani (the name has not yet been confirmed) is now under the supervision of the guys from the anti-terrorist police unit in the Paris suburb of Levallua-Perre. Fantasies. At first it seemed to say that I found a machine on the train and turned out what to do with him, then I changed the version: the machine found in the Brussels Park and got into the train to rob passengers.

But whatever his scenario, the main thing that the final was issued in the American style.

Three wounded. The third is French actor Jean-South Angeond - cut the hand, breaking the glass to activate the alarm.

Czech Republic and her capital Prague are becoming an increasingly popular route for Russian tourists. The popularity of mystical Prague, the former capital of the Sacred Roman Empire, is quite understandable. Throughout the Czech Republic there will be many interesting places attractive for tourists of any type - from shopping lovers to connoisseurs of truly beautiful architecture.

One of the most pressing issues - how is it more convenient to get to Prague? And then it is worth noting that the train, the oldest way, still remains a very convenient way of traveling.

In Prague on the train - Advantages and Disadvantages

The route of trains from Moscow to Prague is one of the old ways to connect Russia with Europe, he was not always so comfortable as now, but its existence can be traced since the times of the Russian Empire.

The advantages of this method of movement can be widely divided into classic and modern. The first refers to the issues of the eternal dispute of the train and the aircraft, the second to the issues of modern service, which can provide Russian and Czech transport systems.

Classic advantages:

• the path to the train is safer, suitable for people of amophobia or simply oats air vehicles;
• by train you can carry baggage, fragile items, it is safer for the transport of children, including breast;
• train, if you take all the pros and cons, more comfortable aircraft, although it is not so noticeable on short flights, in any case he is "more useful for health";
• travel trip, especially on the Moscow-Prague train, coming almost through Eastern Europe, becomes one of the most picturesque road adventures that tourist can submit.

Service advantages:

• the composition of Moscow-Prague includes international cars very comfortable in the variant of 1-2-seater coupe;
• there is a chance to purchase Czech beer from conductors, both in the way and with you.

The disadvantages of movement on the train can also be divided into eternal difficulties and the immediate flaws of the service in a modern situation. It is worth noting that the Moscow-Prague route is considered one of the relatively convenient and shortcomings, especially with the introduction of a new train, has not so much.

Eternal difficulties:

• train getting to get a long time - this option is suitable only to those who are ready to sacrifice a couple of days of rest or simply not in a hurry;
• on the way will have to worry about communicating with customs officers three times, although the inconveniences are delivered, most often, less than a double transition through customs when using the aircraft.

Current issues:

• moscow-Prague trains cars, albeit convenient, European, with increased comfort, still remain quite close, both in terms of corridors and in terms of the coupe, especially inconvenient of which are triple;
• the situation with tariffs and discounts from Russian Railways for 2019 makes the cost of a ticket for the Vltava train higher than the airfare price under the same conditions.

Despite the presence of serious minuses, getting to Prague by train is quite convenient, moreover, it is a great way to see cities and landscapes of several countries, including castles, forests and lakes of Prague itself.

Company Train "Vltava" - Moscow-Prague (21/22) - prices, schedule and new details

Earlier, the member of Moscow-Prague, under the general name "Vltava" and number 21/22, was a complex of international cars that were trained to other compositions to Brest, and then from Brest on the territory of Belarus, Poland and the Czech Republic to Prague.

Moreover, it is worth noting that the "Czech" cars trailed to completely different compositions, it was problematic even to learn them, because Prague-Moscow trains had different numbering.

Since the end of 2013, on the path of the message, the composition of the "Vltava" of a new, speed-based type was introduced, intended for regular flights on a well-established route Moscow-Prague with a minimum of "permitting" inconvenience.

The composition is now moving along the optimized route, it goes quickly and regularly, its introduction demonstrates all rising interest in Russian residents to the route.

International wagons in a new train contain single (luxury), double and triple (economy) coupe, the compartment of the coupe, mostly differs only by the number of shelves and convenience.

The price of a ticket for a single coupe in one direction will be from 14 thousand rubles to 800 euros, the cost of the ticket to the double coupe - in one place in the area of \u200b\u200b400 euros, a triple - from 8 to 12 thousand rubles for a place.

Railways also provides a wide range of discounts on various ticket purchase options:

• 30% when buying a whole coupe with two passengers;
• 30% for an adult with a child;
• 40% adult group from six people;
• 50% discount to children who are part of the group;
• 35% Festive discounts on birthdays and weddings.

There are also seasonal and corporate discounts.

The departure of the Moscow-Prague train comes from the Belorussian station.

In winter ( from late October to March) The Moscow-Prague train starts from the capital of Russia on schedule in 8:43 in the morning, and arrives in Prague in 9:47 next day.

Travel time is 28 hours. The departure of trains occurs every week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, arrival in Prague - on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, respectively.

In the summer ( from late March to October), "Vltava" goes to 7:44 Moscow time and arrives in Prague in 9:47 By spending an hour more "winter" option on the way. Days of departure and arrival do not change.

Departure of Trains Prague-Moscow takes place from Prague Station in 16:47 With the arrival of B. 23:20 (winter) and 22:30 (summer).

Previously, the departure of the Moscow-Prague trains happened in 23:44 , with the arrival in the capital of the Czech Republic in 20:15 .

It is worth considering that the old route, with departure at 23:44 closes from May 20, 2014 and the new "Vltava" remains the only train that makes the Moscow-Prague message on an ongoing basis. Reverse evening route Prague-Moscow (based on the composition of Vienna) is also canceled.

Earlier, the Moscow-Prague train conducted 33 hours on the way to overcome 2111 kilometers of the way, now the path decreased by five hours with the route optimization.

Earlier, the path of "Vltava" lay through Belarus, Poland and the territory of the Czech Republic, now, according to Russian Railways, the route runs through the territory of Belarus, Poland and Slovakia. The main parking lots are Vyazma, Brest (two hours at the shift of the wheels), Terespol, Bogumin.

The Moscow-Prague train is equipped with modern international cars that are equipped with air conditioners working on 220 V sockets, comfortable seats and other amenities.

The main differences between international cars:

• shelves for sleep (wide at 70 cm) are located on one side, which is convenient for single and double coupe, but creates difficulties in triple;
• on the opposite side, the coupe is located a table, under the lid of which the acting washbasin is hidden, as well as hangers for clothes and limited luggage space;
• the bottom shelf of the coupe can be transformed using a conductor, in a set of three soft seats, but it has a limited luggage space;
• the international coupe is close - approximately a quarter-of-a-one third of the internal coupe familiar to Russian passengers.

International wagons designed to move along the route differ in color in the color of the Russian flag (white, blue, red), inside they are closer, and outside more squat than simple Russian wagons.

Crossing the border - Custom and Wheel Change

Customs control on the Moscow-Prague train has to be held on the border of Russia and Belarus, the Polish and Czech border, now the part will also be added to the Slovak Territory.

Formally, the inspection involves checking the baggage and visiting the documents, directly the quality and difficulty of the procedure depends on the specific customs officers - sometimes you can do without inspection of things, and sometimes your passport is checked with a magnifying glass and an infrared lamp. There is no special difference in relation to the Belarusian and Polish borders.

To pass customs control, it is necessary to fill out customs declarations, which is especially important to make information about the accurate number of money, alcohol, tobacco products. Details, details and difficulties with declarations and customs documents are better to discuss if something is not clear with the conductor.

During the longest stop in Brest, there is a change of wheeled steam when the wheels for a wider Russian gauge change to narrow European. The procedure lasts two to three hours, but stroll through the city can be problematic - the exit is in the zone of customs control, and the change is made in the indoor depot, it is not so easy to exit.

Earlier on the Moscow-Prague route, after Brest, there was a long stop in Minsk, now it is missing - the measure is necessary to reduce the duration of the journey.

"Vltava" - passenger reviews

Traveling by the Moscow-Prague train remains quite popular among tourists and passengers traveling to the capital of the Czech Republic on business, while you can find reviews quite versatile - from the approval that the trip "This is the hell", to enthusiastic exclamations about the "best travel in life" . It is also worth noting numerous myths about the robberies of "letters" and thieves in trains, as well as the "brutality" of customs officers.

• Elena, Moscow:

  "When drove for the first time in Prague, we decided to go out in Brest. So to get back to get to run and recover - they let go at the station exclusively through customs, almost late for departure.

  On the way there we do not leave there, and on the way back - it is easy, you can always walk calmly, see the city, buy something. No masochism, as some say, I do not see travel on trains. We like your family.

  We go in August, for many years, our car is stuffed, but the fellow travelers come across good. It is convenient to go conveniently, the train is clean, there are no problems in customs on customs, sometimes, on the way back, the Belarusians inspect those who have a lot of luggage. This year we will go again by the end of August, we go on the train again! Hurry! "

• Peter, Tver:

  "By train to Prague - just a sophisticated form of masochism. Sorry, unfortunately, forced to ride, for reasons that do not depend on me. If there is another opportunity - the train is better not to use, especially, it is more expensive than the plane. "

• AlexanderTula:

  "You can ride, but closely, the aircraft is faster - but dangerous. Heights afraid. And so, the new train is comfortable, while clean, people, when not the season, not so much. According to the business, mainly I go, and sometimes almost resting on the way. "

In this video, you can see what the car and coupe of the Moscow-Prague train will look like:

The path of the "Vltava" train from Moscow is one of the lungs and convenient ways to get to Prague, it is suitable for large companies, for family holidays and for everyone who wishes not only to get to the capital of the Czech Republic, but also to see a lot on the way. The train is not the most profitable or fast version, but the most interesting thing.

By train: From Moscow and Minsk to Prague and Karlovy Vary and back, you can come by train Moscow - Prague No. 21/22 (Vltava).
The train includes a car Moscow - Karlovy Vary.
Train from Moscow is departed in the evening.
The composition of the Moscow-Prague train includes mainly cars following Brest, and your international, will be in the middle of the composition, they are lower. Passages in these cars are narrow and distinguished by two passengers, without sneaking over each other, problematic. You can buy train tickets of the first and second class. Having bought a ticket of the first class. You will have a coupe for two, in this case, only two shelves are laid out, the second shelf with this scenario is obtained high and on the bottom you can sit without bending.
By purchasing a second class ticket, there will be 3 people in the coupe, and you can only lie on the shelves, as the distance between the shelves does not allow to sit on the bottom.

Coupe: On the one hand, three broad sleeping shelves 70 cm., On the other - a hanger, a staircase and a table-washbasin (the tabletop rises, and under it washbasin), above the table a small locker bar (usually empty). Near the table there is a campaign seat.

Threesome in such a compartment is not very good, since if you decompose three shelves at once, then it is impossible to sit normally on the bottom: too low the second shelf and someone has to sit on a folding chair that given the duration of the trip, causing. But for two this compartment is good. I want to note that despite the fact that the train tickets Moscow - Prague are bombarded in advance, for some reason Moska cars - Prague - Karlovy Vary are often semi-empty. Perhaps we just got lucky.
Doors the coupe is not sliding, but swinging, which makes it difficult to pass along the corridor.

Driving from Moscow to Brest in the train there is a car restaurant where you can have a snack. From Brest Lo Prague and Karlovy Var - there is no restaurant on the train.
Tea, coffee, cookies - you will be offered guides. The coupe has a socket with a 220 V voltage socket, which allows you to charge cell phones, and if you took a laptop with movies, the trip will turn into a solid film.

Train schedule Moscow - Minsk - Prague - Karlovy Vary - Moscow (N 21 and N 22) (approximately).

Below is a photo of another car carriage Moscow - Prague. It is salad.

Everything looks like a red car, but with a seating, a little overwhelmed. If the bottom seats are folded, converting them to the shelf, then put things under it are no longer possible. :-(

Only the conductor can produce all transformations. His (her) has a special key !!!

Two central coupe of a green car, easily combine into one large compartment, if you open the special partition. It is convenient for a family or company, it is worth considering such an opportunity when a booting ticket purchase.

At the top above the door there is a niche for bags and boxes. Sleeping places are more convenient than in a red car, so if you are going to go all the time on the shelf all the time, then this car is for you.

The same hangers and a table above the washbasin.


Another option of the train compartment 21 Moscow-Prague Charles Vary.

In Brest - Government. You will be offered to fill in the declaration. What is incomprehensible - ask the conductor. If there is nothing to declare, (tourists), it does not need to fill. Border guards will collect passports, customs officers will ask their questions, and you will go to the change of wheel carts. Your wagon is raised, pull out one and sunk other wheels. This whole procedure will take two hours.

In Prague, arrive in the early morning. Time in the schedule and tickets are local, so to keep up with the times, timely translate the clock.
If you are traveling to the Karlovy Vary themselves, then you still have 6 hours to sit in the car and this is a distance to Karlovy Var - 120 km. The train will overtake the entire Western Czech Republic, you will change several locomotives, you are just a clock at small stations and you will be killed on the old, steer station of Karlovy Vary.

Back, from Karlovy Var train Karlovy Vary - Prague - Moscow, departs after lunch. Your car will be the last in a small composition.

The railway station from which the car is sent to Moscow, in Karlovy Varya is very old, it is fit to hang a commemorative board or demolish.

Get to train station, you can and on foot. To do this, from the Glavpottampt, you need to go along the warmth of the meters of 500, and then when the river goes to the right to go up and directly at a small twist of meters 200.

That's how it will be served on the train station. Let's declare arrivals in several languages, including in Russian.

By train 21/22 Moscow - Prague - Karlovy Vary you will drive in the Western Czech Republic. See, rivers, mountains, cities, lakes, castles.

In Prague, train Karlovy Vary - Prague - Moscow costs more than two hours. You can safely go to the Wenceslas Square (5 minutes from the station) and do not walk to the Karlovy Bridge, sit in the restaurant, buy products on the road.

On the way out of Poland, customs officers will come to the car for the design of Tax-Free, so fill in the coupon in advance and prepare the things purchased under TAX-free. That's all. Again, the change of wheels, native border guards, vigorously following the fact that no Western Lazver is penetrating our territory. And shoved ...

In Brest, the train will start at the Warsaw side of the station, you can go out, walk through the city, while the carts (wheeled pairs) change under the wagons. Then, two hours later, the composition will be fed to the Moscow side of the station. You can return to your car before, for what you need to go to the other side, where the train came from, in the depot building where you will find all the cars.

P.S If you were not kept and devastated during the trip, Becherovka and Beer reserves - not trouble, you can fix the situation in the restaurant car and even for the remaining crowns.

Quote from the forum

... "I drove in this train recently.
At the expense of robbery, accidentally spoke in the train about it and I asked the conductor, and he says that the robbers are still left, and it all depends on the command of the conductors, personally they overlap the car on that stop (I don't know exactly what), follow generally. And it says that one and a half months ago everything was closed, but some kind of gap near the door remained, and the robbers began to wet! The conductors pressed the stop the crane, and says that the robbers immediately began to run away, because the police immediately resort to the stop-tap. And the Polish authorities (or Czech? I do not remember) they answer that your train is - you and take action. Here. And he says that if, for example, the conductor fell asleep, or something else - then in principle, can break into the train, says that they splash out something from the balonchik and the person is turned off. I asked where the stop crane - in a coupe above the door, I think, I suddenly have time to do if that)) Money on the card, there are few cash, only the chain of the Golden was sorry - I swore just in case, I thought for a long time to hide ... Prepared in general smile I got calmly.
In general, before the trip, I asked who lived in Prague and they drive around the train - they did not hear anything about the robbers ...
About food, I did not have time to buy anything at all! And from money only dollars were. In Prague, he drove in the Belarusian car, take dollars, crowns and Belarusian rubles. From the food there was oatmeal, soups in bags, chips, waffles ... In general, I love oatmeal smile what I didn't buy in Brest did not buy, they sell the chicken - why do I need a whole? I would be a piece ... and somehow I didn't like her, and I'm afraid of buying with my hands. Back went in a Moscow car, there was only black tea, and waffles, and a chocolate.

It was not clear how to fill in the declaration. I have nothing like that for declaring, and when the plane flew never in such cases, the declaration was not filled, and here passengers and guides told me that it is better to write completely all - they write newspaper books, gold and silver jewelry, mobile phone, money Before a penny ... The girl said that with her her neighbor began to recalculate money, and the amount was very small, and somewhere in his pockets found $ 50 about which she forgot - they took a fine. And the most girl in the newspaper was checked ... So she now writes to the declaration of scanvords newspaper. Not clear in general. "
