For this reason, Russian Railways was concerned about the future of the rolling stock - a new train is currently being developed, and even several design variations are presented. It will be able to reach speeds of up to 360 km / h, and if the roadway meets the speed characteristics, the journey from Moscow to St. Petersburg will take a little over two hours.
Now trains cover this route in 4 hours, and the maximum speed reaches 250 km/h. In fairness, it should be noted that rolling stock shows such dynamics only on the section Malaya Vishera - Okulovka. On the rest of the route, the speed limit does not exceed 200 km/h.
Our Lastochka is also based on the Siemens Desiro platform. Photo: YouTube.comNo other technical parameters, except for the maximum speed, were announced about the future novelty of Russian Railways. However, as well as the timing of the transition to 100% import substitution. How much the resource of the high-speed Sapsan and Lastochka currently running is also not known. While everyone is waiting for the next information from the management of Russian Railways, our users do not skimp on comments. Here's what they say:
Oh, did the sanctions affect the trains? It can't be, it's so unexpected! What has the management of the railways been doing since February? And before that? Somehow there are too many questions, the answers to which are too obviously hanging in the air.
- Petr Alexandrovich is sarcastically indignant
In the 80s, Soviet railways had their own high-speed development. The Sokol train was almost ready to go into mass production, something needed to be finalized there, but that’s not the point. And they did it entirely and completely on our land. How it happened that Siemens got into other than his own affairs, who signed the decisions, and how much it ultimately cost the country is also a question. In addition to thousands of jobs, this also applies to sovereignty. It's time to start asking questions to officials. But the answers are already clear, but it certainly won’t hurt to evict them from palaces and castles “honestly” earned on salary to barrack-type premises located in not so remote places.

So they, perhaps, this project and resurrect. So we will have our own fast trains, give it time. Indeed, history may repeat itself. In our country, import substitution is already flourishing, but more often only with the help of Chinese comrades. We need tight control by people in uniform.
- Roman Ukhov from Belgorod supports the conversation
Well, tell me, what kind of import substitution? They can’t make a simple “cart”. Yes, where is it! Trite bearings are not able to carve - all made in China. But of course we believe...
- the user with the nickname "Cagliostro-don" expresses his opinion
I don’t know where in Russia trains run at a speed of 200-250 km / h, but this summer they chirged to Sochi with cruising 80. The toshnilovka is still the same. In Russian Railways, it would be better if the tracks were laid with high quality. You look, and ordinary trains will go faster on them. And it’s not enough that they invent a bicycle, they also start from the saddle. It's just some kind of universal grief - such leaders, honestly.
- Alexander Pikalov from Belogorsk shares ways to solve the problem
In China, there are trains with a speed of 400 km/h. So I support the previous speaker - the paths must first be put in order. And yes, the main thing is that import substitution is not decided by the banal replacement of Siemens with a Chinese company. It will also be like a sew on soap, but we cannot be allowed such slovenliness now.
- sums up Ivan Valerievich from Tver.
