Singapore to London

Central Asia

Ticket options

The rail network of Central Asia and the Caucasus has been largely built up by the Soviets (since independence by the Chinese) and still operates on the same time-tested formula (trains in Iran are a different story). For long-distance routes, there are 4 options, although not all may be available on your chosen route.

• Lyux/SV: A separate, lockable compartment with only 2 berths.

• Kupe: A separate, lockable compartment with 4 berths: 2 bottom bunks and 2 top bunks.

• Platzkart: An open wagon divided in compartments of 6 beds: 3 bottom and 3 top bunks.

• Obshye: No sleeping space, only a seat.
