Train Stations

Moscow's eight major train stations keep the nation's rails moving in all directions. All are located next to metro stations, usually on the Koltsevaya (Circle) Line running around the central Moscow. All stations have electronic ticket registration for the Russian Railways if you have bought a ticket through their website, spacious waiting rooms (except for Leningradsky) left luggage facilities, mobile phone outlets, cafes and toilets. Train stations tend to have little information in English so for those who have tickets already, it is a good idea to take note of your train number to be able to navigate and coordinate where you need to go. Taxis to the city centre depend on the taxi driver and time of day rather than where the station is.
