The situation on the Adler—St. Petersburg train, which was delayed due to the demolition of railway tracks in the Voronezh region, was normal and calm. One of the passengers of the train, Andrey Verlup, told Izvestia about this on Thursday, June 5.

"They announced to us that there were technical problems, and then we found out that the tracks had been blown up. The situation on the train was normal, the service was good. The air conditioners were working. It's okay, it's okay. The only thing is that we are worried about whether we will be able to arrive in St. Petersburg on time tomorrow," he explained.

According to Verloop, the train is currently in Voronezh and is 4 hours behind schedule. He added that the train stayed in Rossosh for 3 hours.
