My Experience on Train 066EA: A Smooth Ride from Tolyatti to Moscow
summarizeEditor's Summary
I recently took the train from Tolyatti to Moscow, and was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. The biotoilet was a welcome feature, and the convenient departure and arrival times made the journey feel shorter. But what really stood out was the train's punctuality - accurate stop schedules and minimal delays made the trip a breeze. I'd definitely consider taking this train again for its value for money and ease of use. The two-story composition of the train was also impressive, and the comfortable seating made the long journey more bearable. I was a bit skeptical about the train's temperature control, but it mostly worked out okay. One thing that was a bit of a letdown was the limited options for food and drink on board. And let's be real, some seats were a bit cramped for taller passengers. But overall, I was impressed with the train's amenities and services.
