To increase the attractiveness of rail travel between Russia and Finland a number of additional measures are intended: a system of flexible tariffs for individual and group passengers, additional services, transport of passengers’ cars traveling in the train Moscow — Helsinki, as well as a number of marketing initiatives in the „Allegro” trains.
The measures were discussed in Helsinki, Finland during the annual meeting on the issues of the Russian-Finnish direct railway communication. The Russian delegation was headed by the first Vice-President of Russian Railways Anatoly Krasnoshchek, while the Finnish side was represented by the President of VR Group (Finnish Railways) Mikael Aro.
Besides, Russian Railways and VR Group discussed the continuation of the current experiment on the transportation of a number of freights via electronic consignment notes: outlined its further expansion in 2016 due to the new nomenclature of freights and stations of departure-destination.
