In which compartment do not open the windows, or In a vacation on the train with comfort!

Railway transport is rightly considered the cheapest and safest transport for long distance trips. If you look at the statistics, then it's easy to make sure that traveling by train is times safer than on an airplane or bus. Not surprisingly, this type of transport is very popular.

Going to the sea or returning, you will most likely choose between compartment and reserved seats.

Russian railways also offer tickets to so-called "sleeping cars" or CB. Wagons of the CB, for the most part, ply on foreign directions. The ticket in them is more expensive than in the compartment car (30-40 percent), so they are not particularly in demand by Russian passengers who choose to rest on the Black Sea or the Sea of Azov.

One of the most difficult tests, especially in summer, during the holiday season, can be a trip in a stuffy, hot car, where it is impossible to open the windows of the coupe. And, to your indignation, this situation is likely - in the next compartment you are enjoying the coolness, and you are exhausted by the heat, unable to understand what compartments do not open the windows, and in which they can be omitted.

Let's clarify this point. So, which compartments do not open the windows? Strangely enough, the answer is the same, regardless of whether you have chosen a reserved seat or a compartment car. If the car is old, without an air conditioner, then in the car absolutely all windows should be opened, except for the side windows.

In addition, the "compartment" where the emergency windows are located is "locked". In a second-class car this is the third and sixth coupe - there are emergency exits. The same goes for the compartment car. In the third and sixth compartment windows do not open.

Pay attention when you buy tickets - these are the places 9 to 12 and 21 to 24. This compartment corresponds to the side seats 49-50 and 43-44.

New cars are equipped with air conditioners and, if you are traveling in such a car, the question of which compartments do not open the windows does not arise. After all, the windows do not open anywhere at all. Air ventilation is carried out by means of the conditioner.

The big drawback is that the air conditioner works only when the train is moving. In addition, not all passengers know that the conductor can change the temperature of the supplied air, so that there is absolutely nothing to freeze at +18 or to languish with the heat at +27 degrees of heat.

The question of which compartments do not open the windows is by no means the only one that should be taken into account when preparing a trip. Remember that the odd numbers are the lower shelves, respectively, the even ones are the upper ones. The notorious "upper side at the toilet" is number 38. Number 37 is the lower lateral at the toilet, and it is completely incomprehensible that it is more comfortable. Starting from the 37th number, the numbering of side seats begins.

If your height is more than 185 cm, then it is better to buy a ticket on the side shelf - otherwise your legs will stick out into the aisle. And in the first and last compartment, in the places 1-2 and 35-36, the legs will completely rest against the wall. In this case, the shelf will be shortened by an average of 10 cm. Can you imagine how you will have to crochet?

And take care of the safety of your things and shoes - if you occupy the top shelf, then arrange things and shoes on the third. Have a good trip!
