All you need to know about the new second-class carriages, Railways

Virtual Railways have shown a new type blackarrow

I haven’t traveled in second-class carriages. Don’t know if it’s good or bad. On the one hand, sunk into oblivion an entire era of train travel, imbued with the spirit of romance. It was always interesting to travel in the same large company of random people until you reach the South end station (used to go by train is “the South”), with half of the car made the acquaintance-friend some. And the trip by rail was always drawn to its incomparable originality. Past the window rushing landscapes, cities give way to other cities, nature becomes the other.

But on the other hand, Association with this type of the most popular cars in the country – second-class – from childhood were established not the most pleasant in terms of service by Railways. Old rolling stock, too many strange, disparate people (not always the same I want to be friends with all the inhabitants of the car), stuffiness due to the lack of proper ventilation, noise, strange smells (not always pleasant), and so on, in General the whole spectrum of emotions, impossible to forget even now… Ask: what are we?

Yes, just today in the media appeared sketches of the new cars of the Russian railway. We certainly understand that the topic is not quite standard for car magazines, but to be honest, we were so surprised by the interior of these future blackarrow and their future possibilities that simply could not pass up. See for yourself in the pictures of the models a hypothetical second-class carriages of the new type:

The main “trick” economy class of the new generation modular platform that will make possible to adjust personal space to each passenger individually for themselves, encircling the zone of comfort even in the common space of the reserved seat. For example, the photo shows the sliding curtain to separate the shelf from the other passengers. Closed – and you’re in the “house” where there is a USB female for tablet and individual lighting. The shelves themselves in the new design look like sofas with headrests – should be clearly more comfortable than the flat beds of conventional cars.

“The concept’s interior is made in bright colors, the benches in gray with red headrests. Tables and partitions — in the colors light wood. In the toilets and hygiene of the soul, changing tables, automatic taps, soap dispenser, paper towels, built-in hair dryer for your hands”, is spoken in the message RIA Novosti

It is planned that the renovation of the rolling stock-“reserved seat” will begin in 2019 on the principle of old cars into scrap metal, with their replacement with new useful versions of the rolling stock. How long will the update, we don’t know, but most likely it will go on. But every year, starting with the next likely to be in a reserved seat passengers of distant following will only increase.
