Sale of train tickets to Crimea reduced to 45 days

The sale of train tickets in connection with Crimea and back will temporarily open in 45 days instead of the usual 90. This was announced on July 2 by the operator of railway passenger transportation to the region, Grand Service Express (GSE).

"The decision was made in order to minimize possible inconveniences for passengers. Repairs are planned in the Crimea in the fall, and the schedule of some trains will require adjustments," the organization said in a message on the Maks messenger.

It is noted that the depth of sales for the Tavria trains departing from the end of September 2026 will be 45 days. The company clarified that for most passengers, this period remains comfortable for planning trips out of season, and the schedule will be updated by the time sales open.

Due to the upcoming changes, ticket sales for a number of trains departing from the end of September have been temporarily suspended, including No. 7/8 St. Petersburg - Sevastopol / Kerch from September 30, No. 17/18 Simferopol/ Kerch – Moscow (from September 30 from Crimea, from October 1 from Moscow), No. 27/28 Simferopol / Kerch – Moscow (from September 30 from Crimea, from October 1 from Moscow) and No. 91/92 Sevastopol / Kerch – Moscow (from September 29 from Crimea, from September 30 from Moscow). The company added that it recommends passengers to plan trips based on the updated information.

The Grand Service Express Company (GSE) announced a temporary change in the movement pattern of the Tavria passenger trains from June 30, traveling between the Republic of Crimea and the mainland of Russia. A bus service will be organized for the further transportation of passengers deep into the Crimean Peninsula and back.

The press service of the Grand Service Express carrier company reported on June 21 that 11 Tavria trains were delayed due to the closure of the Crimean Bridge. Several trains were running late in the direction from Crimea. Among them are No. 068 Kerch – Moscow, No. 098 Kerch – Moscow. While No. 007 St. Petersburg - Kerch, No. 092 Moscow – Sevastopol and others are detained in Crimea.
