| everbrite14:22 UTC24 Feb 2007 | I assume that by prize you actually mean the price or cost of train tickets. If so, this is an impossible question to answer. You simply haven't provided enough information.
Price of tickets depends upon the train number (lower numbers cost more), the level of service (with service or without meals), the class of service (lux=2 person compartment, kupé=4 person compartment or platskartney=open dormitory) and the dates of travel. There are seasonal adjustments to the price and the dates for these for 2007 have not been announced nor have the prices for trains for travel after June 1.
To give you an idea of the cost variation I researched travel from Moscow to Krasnoyarsk in Jan 2007 over a 3 day period.
Train number #350 (Travel time 69 h 34 m)
kupé 2K =4055.00
kupé 2Eh =5048.60
plats =1508.60
Train #80 (Travel time 62 h 44 m) or #44 (67 h 37 m) or #92
kupé 2K =4434.10
kupé 2Eh =5211.70
lux 1B =10135.90
lux 1L =8842.70
plats =1658.50
Train #2 (58 h 33 m)
kupé 2K =6650.60
kupé 2Eh =7403.60
Train #10 (58 h 15 m)
kupé 2K =5773.80
kupé 2Eh =6958.80
lux 1B =13518.50
lux 1L =11489.90
plats =1824.30
As you can see the variation in price is from 13518.50 to 1508.60 over a three day period in January 2007. Over the year, the prices vary even more.
Russian Train Site This site is in Russian but it is available in in English RZD Eng for a limited number of cities and then it leads you to the Russian only pages. It indicates price and ticket availability but ONLY for tickets within the next 30 days.
