Yaroslavl residents faced with a shortage of tickets for trains to St. Petersburg after the holidays

It becomes difficult for residents of Yaroslavl to buy tickets for trains to St. Petersburg for dates immediately after the New Year holidays. The problem is especially acute for students who have to return to their place of study after traveling home.

About the shortage of seats told the reader 76.RU Ekaterina. According to her, tickets for the period from 8 to 10 January have already disassembled, so the son had to choose a route with a transfer in Moscow. The woman also wondered whether it was possible to add additional cars to the trains so that passengers could easily return to St. Petersburg.

Journalists checked the availability of tickets on the Russian Railways website. The check confirmed that there are really not enough seats for the right dates.

The editorial office appealed to the Northern Railway to find out whether it is planned to increase the number of cars or the appointment of additional trains. The company said there is no such information yet. The decision on additional trains is made taking into account passenger demand and technical capabilities.

The SJD also recalled the function of the “Waiting List” on the Russian Railways website. If tickets are not available for sale, the passenger can submit an application. When a suitable place appears, the system will automatically book it, and with the appropriate settings, it will issue a ransom.
