History edit

In 2020, Russian Railways reported construction was scheduled to begin in 2021.[2] The journey time was planned to take approximately 2 hours 19 minutes, and the length of the line would be 679 km.[3][4]

In November 2021, reports suggested it was likely for the project to be abandoned favouring possible upgrades to the existing Saint Petersburg-Moscow railway.[5]

On August 2023, president Vladimir Putin announced his support for taking the project forward, as well as making progress towards Nizhny Novgorod, Voronezh and Kazan.[1]

On December 15, 2023, the Russian minister of transport, Vitaly Savelyev, said that they have formed the main parameters of implementation and developed a financial and organizational model.[6]

Construction began on March 2024.[1]

Route edit

The line was planned to be 679 km long, and will serve 16 stations (including 4 within Moscow).[7][8]

The line will pass through Tver and Veliky Novgorod.[9]

Operation edit

Trains will run in service consistently at 250 km/h, while the line is reported to be designed to handle speeds of 400 km/h.[10][1]

28 trains will be ordered in the first batch, expected to be assembled by Sinara Group with support from Transmashholding.[11] A previous venture to produce high speed trains with Siemens, who also manufactured existing Velaro RUS trains on the Sapsan service, was unsuccessful due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.[1][12]

The line is estimated to cut travel time between Moscow and St Petersburg to 2 hours 15 minutes, running at 15-20 headways, later increasing in frequency to 10-15 minutes by 2030.[9]
