Our vast country offers resorts to everyone. You can go to the Black and Azov Seas at any time of the year, but most people go there in the summer, when the hot season begins. Among all the resorts, the city of Yeysk stands apart, because it has a special nature and conditions for recreation. The question of how to get to Yeysk by train is especially acute in summer.
Why go to the city of Yeysk?
The resort town of Yeysk is located on the shores of the Sea of Azov and has ideal conditions for families with children, but for some reason it is not widely known. Thus, due to the more northerly position, intense heat can be avoided, and the sea has a very small angle of descent, so that you can walk hundreds of meters, and the water will still be knee-deep. The beaches in the city are mostly sandy.
Moreover, the city has a developed tourist infrastructure, and there is enough entertainment there, but at the same time, prices remain acceptable even in the season. There are also many sanatoriums in the region that help people with heart, stomach and nervous problems. Note that near Yeysk, as well as near all resort towns, there are many smaller settlements, which alsooffer their services during the summer season.
This city is located closer to the capital than other resorts, which reduces the cost of travel and reduces travel time. Therefore, tourists are increasingly choosing it.
Train Moscow - Yeysk
If you live in Moscow, then the question of how to get to Yeysk by train is quite simple. There is only one train Moscow - Yeysk, it has number 231C. In 2015, it will run every day from June 6, through July and August, and then stop running for the winter. Since the train is seasonal, it is assembled from existing cars.
The train leaves Moscow from Kurskaya station at 00:15, and arrives at its destination a day later at 6:20. Thus, the composition overcomes 1507 km in 1 day 6 hours and 5 minutes. On the way, the Moscow-Yeisk train makes 20 stops, the longest of which are in the following settlements: Tula, Yelets, Rossosh, Likhaya, Sulin, Rostov, Pervomayskaya and Starominskaya.
If you make the return journey - Yeysk - Moscow, train number 232C - at your service. He travels from June 7 to September 1 also every day and makes the same stops, but spends less time on them, and therefore the travel time is reduced by 28 minutes.
Train St. Petersburg - Yeysk
From the second largest city, a direct train also runs to the resort, which simplifies the question of how to get to Yeysk by train. This year train number 245A runs every other day. Its first flight in 2015 leaves St. Petersburg on June 20, andthe last one is August 28.
18 stops are made by the train St. Petersburg - Yeysk. Among them, the train stops the longest at Ryazan, Michurinsk, Rossosh and Rostov stations, with the longest stop lasting only 30 minutes. The distance between St. Petersburg and Yeysk is 2024 km, its train travels in 1 day 12 hours.
Train 245A leaves Moskovsky Station in St. Petersburg at 15:37 and arrives in Yeysk at 6:20, just like the Moscow train.
The train Eysk - St. Petersburg No. 246C runs on the return route. On the way it is 1 day 13 hours. The train leaves Yeysk at 21:00, and arrives at the terminal at 10:07. The train almost always runs every other day, but there are also breaks, so it's better to check the dates when planning your trip. The Yeysk - St. Petersburg train stops at the same stations as on the way back.
Other train options to Yeysk
In addition to the above flights, Russian Railways has a lot of options for how to get to Yeysk by train. So, many trains follow from smaller cities through Moscow and St. Petersburg, and Yeysk will not necessarily be the final stop. The train schedule is designed in such a way that residents of the capital and the city on the Neva can come to Yeysk at any convenient time.
The only disadvantage of these options is that the train will not arrive at Yeysk station itself, but will stop at Starominskaya station, 70 km from Yeysk. Almost all trains that go to southern cities, such as Adler, Krasnodar, Anapa and others, make stops at the indicatedstation.
From Starominskaya station to the city of Yeysk you can get by train (it runs only in the morning), by bus or taxi. Note that there are no problems with public transport here.
Here are the trains connecting Moscow and Yeysk:

A trip in the opposite direction from Yeyskwill cost the same.
Travel Reviews
As the reviews say, the condition of seasonal trains is just awful. Dirt, unsanitary conditions and terrible heat reign everywhere. Air conditioners do not work in second-class carriages and compartments, and they often fail in SV carriages, tickets for which are much more expensive. Often there are breakdowns in the toilets. The same situation is observed with the composition following from St. Petersburg.
Travelers therefore recommend traveling by plane or car, or simply by connecting trains, which are in the best condition and run all year round. Some tourists after a trip by train are even ready to fly to Rostov-on-Don, and then travel by car. They believe that this is a more convenient and reliable option than the train. But for the cost, of course, such a trip will be more expensive. Many people have recently been driving to the sea by car for the same reason - the poor condition of trains heading south.
