Add a review about the Allegro high-speed train

One of the fastest trains running around our vast territory, and for some 3, 5 hours bringing tourists from St. Petersburg to the capital of Finland, Helsinki is Allegro . Called by the musical term, which means "fast, joyful, cheerful," this train really corresponds to its name to the whole of $ . Well, how else can you name a composition that in just over 200 minutes makes one from one country to another? And if for a resident of Liechtenstein such a sum of minutes is prohibitive, then for a citizen of our great homeland stretching from Vladivostok and to Kaliningrad - just a fantasy .

For a minute, the maximum operational speed of the Allegro reaches 250 km / h, although according to the requirements of safety and development of infrastructure on the road, it is maximally accelerated to only 220 km / h. However, and believe me, there is enough: from the flying in the huge panoramic windows of the landscapes and without missing by the regulations of 30 km is breathtaking.

By the way, to achieve such high speeds, "Allegro" allows carefully thought-out technology of tilting the body to 8 degrees during the composition of curved sections. Thanks to this slope, it can reduce speed and neutralize the effect of centrifugal force.

"Allegro" consists of 7 cars, all of them are sessile. Really, who needs dusty shelves, when on the way have to spend only 3, 5 hours? A total of 337 passenger seats are planned on the train, all of them - enhanced comfort. Simply put, each individual seat of the passenger is equipped with a folding table, adjustable back, individual lighting, a socket for connecting chargers, a personal place for outerwear, a footrest and pockets for storing all kinds of small items and newspapers. $

The basic fare from the northern capital to the capital Suomi is 84 EUR in the 2nd class and 134 EUR - in the first room Lasse.

Customs and border control is carried out right at the time of train movement, which will also brighten up the already short 3, 5 hours on the way. Formalities, albeit boring, but distracting from the account minutes before meeting with your favorite train station in St. Petersburg or Helsinki - there's someone like.
