Our train, the 13.00 St. Petersburg to Moscow pauses at Tver station. The on-board automated announcer stated quite clearly stated that the train would only be stoping for sixty seconds and that passengers must not leave the train unless departing at this this station, a message probably aimed at the many of Russia's smokers! Tver is a town of some 450, 000 thousand people about a hundred miles north-east of Moscow. It has a large wagon and carriage works as well as being a meeting point for a number of primary lines.
