@lewd As 12306.cn never worked for me (at least without VPN) I always used https://www.chinahighlights.com . They charge a fee but they do a great job reserving tickets, also for the Kunming to Vientiane train. As far as I remember it's also possible to rebook a train once with no additional costs (if it's at the same price or less, otherwise you just need to pay the gap).

@lewd At least no Desiro HC or Mireo.

@lewd Direct sleeper sounds nice and doesn't require a change of stations at Moskva.

Have a great trip through #braidspoor land.
