A Budget-Friendly Ride from Saratov to Moscow That Surprised Me

summarizeEditor's Summary

I've been taking trains from Tambov to Moscow for ages, and I've gotta say, the budget-friendly platzkart car on the No. 135ЖА train from Saratov to Moscow is a total steal. It's not the fanciest ride, but it's clean, the cars are almost brand new, and the conductors are super helpful. Plus, you'll arrive in Moscow early enough to plan your day without any hiccups. I was really surprised by how much value you get for your money, especially considering the price.

I've been taking trains from Tambov to Moscow for ages, so I've had a chance to ride on all the trains that pass through my city on their way to the Russian capital.
And, of course, I've used the fast train No. 135ЖА from Saratov to Moscow. I've been on all types of cars, and this time I'll tell you about the budget-friendly platzkart car. This train and car are seriously the cheapest, except for the seated car. The seated car just isn't worth it for long trips - it's cramped and uncomfortable.
The main perks of this train and platzkart car, aside from the price, are the early arrival time (06:52), the fact that the cars are almost brand new, cleanliness, and helpful conductors.
They offer the standard set of services for RZD, and all the toilets are spotless, with toilet paper and wipes always available.
The conductors are super responsive, keep the car tidy, and help passengers get on and off without any hassle. They're like the ultimate multitaskers.
