As we head further west our trains seem to be improving in quality. But we still can’t seem to escape the green colour scheme.
We had a fabulous car attendant this leg of the journey. She didn’t speak a lick of English but she had a real Motherly way about her and she seemed to enjoy looking after us girls.
She caught me attempting to take some abstract shots of the trains Samovar and tapped me on the shoulder and made a motion for me to follow her. She took me to a spot inbetween two cars to what was probably the only clean window on the whole of the train so I could take photos out the window.
I didn’t have the heart to tell her I wasn’t interested in landscapes. I graciously thanked her with a Спасибо and then when she’d left I turned away from the view and took this photo.
Next stop Perm at a more respectable 11:03 arrival time.
