Follow the link "schedule and costs" on pg 2. There is no direct
ticket. The poor guy isn't even traveling 1st class.
My only experience of sleeper trains in Russia was mercifully limited
to one night, and that was 1st class - you get chintz curtains on the
windows and some artificial flowers. I had entertained ideas of getting
a shower, but the after taking one look at the gigantic water boiler
with its mysterious nickel plated taps and warning messages in Russian,
I thought the better of it. By the time I reached my destination at
6AM, I checked straight into a hotel and tried to recover some lost
sleep in bed.
