Moscow, February 25 (Xinhua) — Russian Railways (RZD) has opened online ticket sales for the Zabaikalsk-Manzhouli passenger train and direct trains from Irkutsk and Chita to China. This was reported by RIA Novosti on Wednesday.
The Zabaikalsk-Manchuria train will resume service on March 8 after a hiatus in 2020, when rail service was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With its launch, direct trains will also be offered from Irkutsk and Chita on March 6 and March 7, respectively. Tickets will be sold at the ticket office and online.
Tickets for the first flight to Manchuria from Irkutsk start at 29,953 rubles, from Chita at 15,280 rubles, and from Zabaikalsk at 674 rubles. Ticket sales began in mid-February.
Rail passenger service between Russia and China resumed in mid-December 2024 after a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, when the Chinese train Suifenhe-Grodekovo began operating. Following the abolition of visas between the two countries, this train has seen an average monthly passenger increase of 95%.
