There are two other lines that branch off from the main Trans Siberian: the Mongolian and Manchurian. The Trans Mongolian line was built from 1940 to 1956 between Ulan-Ude at Lake Baikal, across the Gobi desert to the Chinese capital Beijing. The Trans Manchurian coincides with the Trans-Siberian as far as Tarskaya, around 300km east of Baikal, then heads southeast into China, also terminating in Beijing.

Food & drink
If meals are included with your train ticket, expect pancakes or porridge for breakfast and a main meal and salad for lunch or supper. Be aware that vegetarian options often aren’t available. There is also a restaurant car on each train, serving food all day. Local people aren’t generally allowed to sell their goods at stations, but if you get off at smaller cities, stock up on good regional food, like porozhki (small pies with different stuffings), or dried fish, honey and tea for your journey.How to travel
You can’t hop on and off the Trans Siberian with a single ticket, like an Inter-Railer in the 1980s! You have to buy point-to-point tickets that cover each section. That’s why organised tours that travel all or some of the Trans Siberian are so convenient, as they include all the train tickets, plus activities, transfers and accommodation at key stop offs. Summer is the most popular time to travel on the Trans Siberian, but holidays run in winter, too, and riding this epic train through the snowy landscape makes for a unique and unusual trip. If you hope to travel independently, be aware that during the summer in particular, local people use the Trans Siberian for their own trips and holidays, so tickets will sell out sooner – book early.Two trains travel along the Trans Siberian. The Rossiya train offers a higher comfort level and it travels faster, stopping at just 90 cities. Train 100/99 travels a longer route and makes more stops (120). It only has second and third class accommodation, but it’s cheaper.
