Бггг... Россия делает в данный момент одни из самых лучших в мире пассажирских вагонов . Они имеют ресурс на десятки лет эксплуатации,высочайшую прочность и надежность,способны надежно работать в условиях раздолбанных ж\д дорог постсоветских республик и развивающихся стран (такие вагоны например закупил Египет) спокойно функционируют от - 40 до +50 градусов и в отличии от вагонов ЕС,Японии и США обеспечат выживаемость пассажиров в течении нескольких суток даже в случае какой либо аварии в сети ( ну например в горах сойдет сель и снесёт оползнем путь или снежная лавина снесёт с гор ) ,там помимо электрических обогревателей от сети ж\д или локомотива-тепловоза есть простой отопительный "титан" на топливе ,который даже в -40 не даст людям замерзнуть,а вторым контуром даст кипяток для приготовления еды .У нас как то РЖД не афиширует на всю страну некоторые факты ,которыми вполне можно гордиться - например такой факт что Россия в данный момент выпускает магистральных локомотивов и ж\д вагонов больше чем выпускал ВЕСЬ СССР на пике производства и эт овсё новейшие вагоны и локомотивы (новые локомотивы например уже сейчас фактически готовы к беспилотному движению по ж\д ) ,сами ж\д сильно модернизировали ,если в 1985 году я родственником ездил пацаном на ЧС-4 на Мск и в сторону Кирова и скорость была на Владимир 120 км\ч ,А на Киров 100 км\ч ,то сейчас есть большие участки рассчитанные на 200 км\ч ,в на Киров вплоть до 160 км\ч. В тех же США по моему ж\д рассчитанных на скорость в 200 км\ч менее 1000 км ,ну там в США своя специфика ,из 409 тысяч километров путей, существовавших в США в 1916 году, сейчас осталось лишь 220 тысяч. Несмотря на то ,что я не фанат США,но мне жаль миллионы человеко-часов адского труда который потратили предки нынешних американцев на создание такой Великой Сети США,жаль тысяч гениальных ж\д инженерных сооружений ,которые были созданы руками американцев и которые тупо пошли либо на слом либо в чермет .Ну а кавказским республикам желаю успокоиться наконец и начать работать в полную силу + жить по нормальному с соседями ,может тогда наконец они выберутся из того тупика когда загнали их амбиции 90-х

its a russian coach. even in rzd colors. i love that
Yep
Great travel post for ones like myself that try as much as possible to stay away from the major tourist places, the train looks great and certainly a credit to the Armenian railways and Georgian
Glad you liked it John 🙏🏻
why travel and start avoiding tourist places? might as well stay home and watch TV RIGHT?
Хороший вагон, молодцы, привет из Беларуси🇧🇾 ✌

Thank you, it’s lovely to see railways we don’t always get to see. Georgia is amazing, love their food!
Me too! One of my favourites... Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
The best sleeper train👏👏👏👏👏
Not the best, but pretty good!
Took this train back in 2017 Yerevan and Tbilisi. Back then it was quipped with standard ex-Soviet Railway Ammendorf type cars. They were solid and very clean. A week or so latter I took the night train from Tbilisi to Zugdidi where we crossed the line of contact with Abkhazia.
I believe the only other overnight train in the South Caucasus it the service between Tbilisi and Baku.
That's not running right now so this is the only one!
@@NonstopEurotrip you know why? Or just saying?)
Теперь в этом поезде вагоны Тверского вагоностроительного завода (Россия), а сам поезд рамкрашен в диарею Российских железных дорог.

Congratulations on your video, I really enjoyed it! I am Brazilian and the grandson of Armenians who arrived in the city of São Paulo (Brazil) in 1926 and 1932; my grandmothers and grandfathers were survivors of the Armenian Genocide of 1915, perpetrated by the government of the extinct Ottoman Empire during First World War.
All Armenian surnames end with the suffix "ian" (or the anglicised "yan", which means something like that "son of family Santur", as in my case), and Armenians were the first nation to adopt Christianity as their official religion, in 301 AD, nine years before the Roman Empire did so.
Armenia may not be a rich country, but it has a very rich culture and around 3000 years of continuous history. I hope you saw something interesting in Armenia and have enjoyed the food, which I love so much.
As for Brazil, unfortunately we do not have long-distance passenger trains, except for two daily trains from the private mining company Vale. The others were wiped off the map by the federal government and the São Paulo government between 1996-2001. Here we only have suburban (commuter) trains in a very few Brazilian state capitals, and insufficient subway systems in a very few cities as well. Elsewhere, Brazil uses highways to transport 65-67% of domestic cargo. And buses and planes to transport passengers. You can imagine the high cost of all this.
All the best and let's wait your next weekly reports! I like your work so much!
Wow very interesting! I'd love to visit Brazil soon. Thanks for you lovely comment ☺️
Thanks for sharing your trip. I like the natural sound of the train with footnotes instead of voice commentary. 👍
Me too 😌
Night trains are great. But it's really a pity not being able to see the views on the way, as it goes through the mountains. I saw the railway beside the road when I was travelling with minibus (scary experience, they drive like crazy) and I was amazed of how the railway could be there, almost on the highest point of the way. Incredible piece of engineering!
True yes, but there's no day train unfortunately. I'll have to take the day bus next time 🙂
@@NonstopEurotrip Bring a helmet. And/or something calming. Expect some crazy ride ;)
@@josefcarlsson9287 sleep pills at best, although even that might not help, lol.
@@josefcarlsson9287 It's not crazy at all my friend, you just take the driving culture you're used to for granted. I'd say it's just the regular shitty level =)
@@NonstopEurotrip There is a day-evening train in the opposite direction though
👍🏻🏴 Much better than the Swedish sleeper coaching stock on the Stockholm to Berlin route which are old and basic compared to these!.
Absolutely yes!
Are you gay?
Thank you for this video, it helped with my trip❤. We bought our tickets on Get your guide- it was seamless & easy to do.
This train ride was definitely a great highlight.
Our pleasure!
Great video !!
Thank you ☺️
Любил отдыхать в Грузии в советском союзе очень красиво))привет из России,да и поезда очень хорошие тихо комфортно ездить на дальние расстояния
Thankfully it's fully independent and flourishing now
Great trip. Something I know about both Countries are their script, unique but difficult. Great combination between old locomotive and modern coaches, and the third class is unique.
They're beautiful scripts! Yeah it certainly was an interesting ride!
I looked into that train service when I was in Georgia & Armenia in '19. I think it runs on to/starts from Batumi in the summer months.
It does, yes
i'm an Armenian who has moved to a different country recently, you video made me nostalgic! I took that train many, many times and I lived close to the station (and not far from the church at the end of your video too)!
Ah lovely! Where do you live now?
Как я обожаю этих поездов
Me too!
It's actually RZD (russian railways) design with color theme. I suppose that Armenia bought it. The cars made in Tver, Russia.
На чашке из видео изображена аббревиатура ЮКЖД (Южно-Кавказская железная дорога) , пассажижрские перевозки на железной дороге в Армении находятся под управлением дочерним предприятием «Южно-Кавказская железная дорога», созданным в Армении «РЖД»(Российские железные дороги)
Leased maybe

Оператор-перевозчик является дочерним предприятием РЖД, арендующим у Армении инфраструктуру железных дорог. Надеюсь эта форма управления временная и продлится до лучших времен в экономике Армении.
great video!
Hi Guys. We did Baku - Tbilisi in 2018. Was just fun in platzkartny ;-) cool video!
Glad you liked it!!
Beautiful
I took (almost) this train in 2017 before they bought the new coaches. These were East-German built soviet-style coaches and there were 4 classes, with the 2nd (kupe) split into AC and non-AC options, from which I chose the first. Is summer they extend this service to Batumi, a Georgian coastal city, quite popular summer travel destination for Armenians.
I went to Batumi, lovely place 🥰
Thanks for the great video. I'm planning a trip to Caucasus in a few years and hopefully be on that train.
I hope so too!
Amazing!!!! Thank you!!!!!
You're so welcome!
Great video

Not long to wait 😃
Georgia is soooo awesome I'm just back from there it's so cheap Nd good.!
Couldn't agree more!
Too bad you weren't specific about what is so great about it...all a mystery to me.
@@johnnypastrana6727 sorry , I mean the cost of hotels and hostels , food traditional and international .! The highlight is transportation which was pretty cheap .! From Kutaisi airport to the city I paid only 20 Lari that too at midnight.! Yes the people are kind and helpful but the language is a barrier sometimes.!
Nice! 🚆
I was in the same compartment number four of Business class as you. Last year in mid-November! 😀
Nice one!
Another good video. Very informative. Thanks (as ever) for noting the accessibility features (or the lack of them).
Thanks Sean 😁
£42 first class,and I bet it is a longer journey/distance than the Caledonian sleeper which is almost 5 times as much...the "make up your own bed" is quirky, normally an attendant would do it for you, but it looks comfy,and a good sized window..a real eye opener, and it shows just what can be done..good vid.
Yes, but the economic situation is very different
It's about 230 miles from Tbilisi to Yerevan and probably over 550 from London to Inverness.
Simply Awesome keep it up 👍
Love from Karachi Pakistan.
Thanks so much 🙏🏻
In European stores at train stations they should have a meal box. People can have these so that they can have something more substantial. Japan has bento boxes that can be bought at the train stations. But then again trains should have a dinning car. But very good video. I would love to travel on that train. Greetings from Canada.
There's plenty of food shops at European stations... And I never buy the bentos as similar meals are half the price from 7eleven
Georgia looks inviting.
Beautiful place 😍
Thanks for the sleep ride, 🇺🇾
🥱😴
Well those new TVZ coaches are mainly OK, still some ventilation issues do happen.
Ours were fine!
Muy bueno. Likes

Again, I comment for not breaking the tradition.
The video is, well, OK.
This video is kind of a classic trip report that you can see on channels like "The Man on Seat 61", but with the text you can watch on this channel.
Thanks Pedro. How are you doing? 😊
I took this train in late Summer of 2019. whitch was hauled by same VL-10 loco with blue painted Soviet-era old sleeping car. It was a great experience in a different way.
BTW befor this trip , I took a night train from Baku to tbilisi. Has it already abondaned?
Yeah it hasn't restarted after covid
@@NonstopEurotrip Thank you for the latest information. I hope it resumes.
@@hiroshisone5445 Azerbaijan still keeps its land borders closed for some reason. I think they'll launch a train to Turkey via Tbilisi when they open their borders.
2:47 I like the short store names so I can learn a few Georgian and Armenian letters
Cool isn't it 😍
A very interesting look at a region that doesn't get much coverage. Q: are the sleepers leased or bought 2nd-hand..?
They were brand new when acquired, so leased I'd guess?
@@NonstopEurotrip Pity those room storage features aren't more universal...
@@NonstopEurotrip Armanian Railways are run (but not owned) by RZD according to the international agreement. So RZD could have bought some coaches for their Armenian "branch" along with huge orders for their domestic market.
Hello Tbilisi. 😉
Hm, the coaches are from Russia, but look like a “cheaper” variant. In Russia we have much more service in first and biz class, including meal service, water, travel kit etc.
Leased maybe

Great video! I intend to take the same train in a few weeks time. How does one go about purchasing tickets? I cannot find a website online to book. :)
www.ukzhd.am or www.railway.ge
@@NonstopEurotrip Thanks, sadly the Georgia website doesn't have Yerevan as a destination option and the Armenia website doesn't have an English translation for arrival and destination stations. Can I purchase a ticket from the ticket office in Tbilisi when I arrive?

I know. The Soviets had one thing right 👍🏻
Buen viaje!!!Yo quiero ir a conocer Georgia, armenia y Azerbaiyán,tomo nota del tren. Una duda,el precio era ida y vuelta o sólo ida? Gracias por la información.
Thanks! The price was one way
I am traveling to Armenia and Georgia in spring. Is it possible to pre-book tickets online?
It's possible. I think they go on sale 30 days before travel.
@@NonstopEurotrip Do you know what the website is?
If you buy a 1st class ticket is the whole cabin for you or shared?
Shared. Unless you buy both tickets. I was with a friend so we had the room to ourselves
Whats the scchedule of the train? Everyday? Or every otherday? Thanks
The schedule is explained in the video
Do v get the ticket same day or online booking available???
All the information is in the video
Nice video .
May I know when can i lock the door after train departure？I am thinking if I lock the door, will there be someone boarding in the other station (eg gyumri)
I travel alone and I will book the first class, I am afraid someone get in and steal my stuff.
That depends. If you are travelling with two people you can lock the door straight after tickets are checked.
Come to Baku / there is route from Tbilisi to Baku
It's not running at the moment
Did they stop n stamped visa in border or before had any place?
Both sides of the border had checks.
Tbilisi - Baku night train is no longer operational? I wonder as you have mentioned that this was the only international train in the region.
Not at the moment. Not restarted after COVID.
Azerbaijan for some reason keeps its land borders closed after COVID.

спасибо СССР! за все что отстроили в этих теперь странах !
Much better now.
@@NonstopEurotrip Это очень спорно, ибо теперь не узнаешь как было бы сейчас если бы был СССР. А для своего времени было всё прекрасно если бы не предатель Горбачёв, думаю было бы лучше чем сейчас это точно. Это моё мнение.
@@NonstopEurotrip My parents lived in Georgia during Soviet times. And as they say, it was definitely better in the USSR than it is now. Georgians lived richer, better, everything was available and often free (medicine, education, etc.). Tbilisi was not such a dirty city as it is now, and the railways lived a full life, trains went to almost all regions of the USSR, the suburbs connected the whole country, and small aircraft carried passengers and goods to the most inaccessible regions of Georgia.
Now Georgia is a hospitable, but poor country with no special prospects, living with very dubious prospects for joining the European Union. All that is good here is the climate, Georgian cuisine / wine and the remnants of the legacy of the USSR.
I would like to go there, but I have a question. how's the filming? do the police or someone allow or make me remove videos and photos?
I didn't have any problems!

The Armenian Railway is a branch of the Russian Railways. That's why the train was new. Exactly the same new cars in Russia.

Good video! Do you pay for shower on the train?
No, free!
Nice journey report ! Just watched our swiss club FC Basel playing in Jerewan a couple days ago. After I missed to reserve a seat on the charter train(Centralbahn-Sonderzug) to Bratislava in october - the austrian requierements were shortening the train capacity ... - I realised that this autumn won't offer another chance for such kind of sports trip from my place. Happy though - to still have travelled by train to Jerewan - at least virtually - thanks to you )
Something else : I like your additional presentations about the travelled places. Maybe you could also add some info about luggage storage options in the stations - respectivly nearby. I remember travelling with Interrail/EuroDomino - this was always a key knowlegde.
It's sad, that these centrally located countries aren't connected any better by rail thanks to geopolitical gambits. Our only left train manufacturer in Switzerland - Stadler - was able to deliver some sleeper carriages for the Baku-Tiflis train. Pitty, they aren't in use there. Beside the omnipresent multiple units and the massive spain built(ex-Vossloh plant) EuroDual engine this is their only tradional loco hauled train product. However, I really admire the russian philosophy of investing into traditional flexible overnight stock. Siemens is building new NightJets - but rather in fixed-formation design.
I agree yes, but there just isn't the demand unfortunately
Question: Since you travel extensively, have you had any problems with COVID? Thanks
Apart from catching it in Madrid the first year, none.
