The cancellation of a number of trains to CIS countries will not affect passengers. The "Federal Passenger Company" clarified that sales of tickets for the cancelled trains were closed, explaining the revision of the schedule was due to a sharp decline in passenger traffic. The railway administrations of Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Tajikistan have responded to the decision of the FPC neutrally, saying they will cope without Russian trains.
"Reducing the size of the movement of international traffic shall in no way affect the interests of citizens – sales of tickets for the cancelled trains are not being carried out," the press service of the "Federal Passenger Company", a "daughter" company of "Russian Railways", is quoted by TASS.
Yesterday the Russian Railway administration announced the cancellation of regular trains to Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan.
