There are red Siemens Desiro and white Siemens Velaro trains outside. Chat, is this Germany ?
It's 10 p.m. local time in Chelyabinsk, my meal from @diningcar was just served : Grilled vegetables and buckwheat with mushrooms along with some beautifully packaged dark chocolate and juice.
The food served in the trains was far too much - good that it's sleeping time so that I can curl up under the comfy blanket and digest my amazing food.
The train is very suitable for working and as a bonus for tomorrow and Sunday morning, we have showers in the carriage.
Dream well and stay strong

Second sleeper train of my trip completed on day five. Now waiting for 15 minutes for my connecting train from Bologoe to Chelyibinsk. I booked a comfortable sleeper compartmznt for the 32 hours trip over two nights.
The
ะะฒัะพัะฐ service was definitely a luxury experience, the staff was very helpful with my spontaneous reschedule and helped me with everything despite no common language.The railway station in Bologoe has a weird layout : The station building is located in the middle of a field of tracks, there are two main tracks where most trains depart and the other platforms are scrambled over the area. Access via a tunnel only.
I'm looking forwards for a comfy sleeper and finally some time to rest without any hurry for two days.
@lewd this country to this day commits genocide agaisnt ukrainian people. what are you even doing here?

We arrived in Moscow late in the evening. I had an excellent night and slept like a baby until 11 a.m. - after a shower it's now time to grab some late breakfast in the @diningcar : fresh potato wedges with mushrooms and the mandatory black tea.
Side note : The
have amazing chocolate onboard, I enjoyed already the second bar 
.Day six of my journey will be all trains : I woke up in the train and since my sleeper is only going to arrive tomorrow morning, I will spend the next night in my comfortable
compartment as well.#FOSSRail #TeamNightTrain #SleeperAndEater

Good morning ! It's 6 a.m. and after round about 32 hours, my comfortable
sleeper is slowly approaching in Chelyabinsk next to the Kazakh border.The ride was fading in time, it feels like I just boarded despite spending two days in the train ๐ฅฐ.

I arrived in Chelyabinsk perfectly on time. My urge to leave the station before the cafรฉs in the downtown open is rather limited considering the temperature.
I'll wait until 8 a.m. in the warm waiting hall and then grab some coffee in the city center before boarding my connecting train at 10:20 a.m.

You folks like railways ? Here you are : The Chelyabinsk Children's Railway is dreaming sweet dreams about peaceful times during it's winter rest covered under snow
.For me, it's time to grab some coffee and start my day - the train across the Kazakh border is leaving in one hour.
Goodbye
Russia, hello 
Kazakhstan !

Russia, hello Kazakhstan !A last glance at the ice sculpture park in Chelyabinsk and ready to board my train to Petropavl in Kazakhstan.
Petropavl is an interesting railway station since it's served by inner-Russian trains following the south junction of the Trans Siberian Railway. While passengers leaving the train there are formally leaving Russia in Petukhovo, passengers traveling onwards to Omsk and further east remain in Russia as transit traffic - a new visa for foreigners is thereby not necessary.
I'm happy to finally be in the train to
Kazakhstan for my part and will enjoy the next 8 hours in a comfy old ะัะฟะต /Kupe/ upper berth getting gently shaken into sweet dreams.Stay strong

@lewd Interesting route choice, have fun. I was expecting via Mongolia. a shame that they haven't resumed the regular รrรผmqiโAlmaty trains, I hope they do at some point. The infrastructure certainly exists given that they do freight and tourist trains.
-
Any suggestions from my experienced #China travel fellows : Since I missed my train in Estonia, I'm two days late in รrรผmqi and will thereby miss my booked train to Xi'an and onwards to Kunming and Vientiane.
Any secret places to still get tickets ? I'd prefer to take the high speed train rather than 37 h with a standing ticket.
(Being late in China because of a delay in Latvia is cursed btw.)

@lewd That looks like a really nice station. Reminds me a bit of a nice 1980s Japanese hotel I stayed in, but from Russian Wikipedia I gather that it was rebuilt in the early 2000s

@lewd I haven't been in China for quite a long time, but it seems that https://www.12306.cn/en/index.html might work for you.
However, buying tickets at this moment might be rather tricky, as the Chinese New Year is approaching and everyone is on the move.
