Hi.
Russia is NOT included in Interrail. If you want to travel to Moscow, you need an extra ticket from the Polish border until Moscow. Details here: [ux]https://rail.shop/realrussia[/ux]
If you want to travel only to Berlin for example, check the night trains listed here: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train[/u]

Hello!
Why Switzerland in [u]https://rail.shop/realrussia/[/u] isn\'t available? On the other hand, I can\'t find out how much train between Basel and Warsaw costs nowadays - all tickets from the official page of railway company(RZD?) have been possibly sold out, so maybe someone know where it is? eng.rzd.ru/statice/public/en?STRUCTURE_ID=4142 looks scary!
Another interesting thing - in timetable provided by PKP that train is said to be from CNL(query with identical day and hours and the results: [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux] says that it\'s D 50472(Nacht-Schnellzug) and [ux]https://rail.shop/pkpic[/ux] says that it\'s CNL 472). In other words it isn\'t really reliable or something has changed recently?

Hi.
Since one month the direct connection Switzerland (Basel) to Russia by direct train is blocked for bookings on [ux]https://rail.shop/realrussia[/ux] - but I can't tell you why, I will ask for it.

Yesterday I phoned to PKP information office and asked about price of ticket from Basel to Warsaw - at the moment it costs about 950PLN(~220 EUR) with the sleeper reservation fee included, and there are no discounts available from booking tickets in advance.
