    The Belarusian railway is considered the most comfortable and clean, and the staff is pleasant and polite.

"BCH" (Belarusian Chygunka) is a state carrier subordinate to the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Belarus. The railway network in Belarus is extensive. It ranks third in the CIS after Russia and Ukraine, so the railway transport in the republic is well developed. For example, several "BCh" trains of different levels of service run in one direction Moscow - Minsk.

BC trains are divided into business class (branded trains) and economy (non-branded). The economy includes trains with old cars. They do not have air conditioning, so it is hot in summer and cold in winter. The interior of the wagons is outdated. At the same time, even in old trains there is a high level of service - they have polite conductors and are always clean.

From the types of cars in the economy class, reserved seats, compartments and SV are available. There is no air conditioning and dry closet in the reserved seat car. There is only a regular toilet, which is closed at the stations, which is inconvenient. The compartment and CB have air conditioning, but there is also no dry closet. On an unbranded train, the air conditioner may not work well even if it is turned on.

We recommend traveling in business class. Such trains have their own name - "Minsk", "Belarus", "Neman", etc. In terms of comfort, they correspond to branded trains of Russian Railways. All carriages have air conditioning and dry closets. In branded trains, meals are often included in the fare (a set of meals or a hot lunch), a TV is installed in the SV. Each compartment has sockets, a button to call the conductor, and the door is closed with an electronic lock.

You can find out how comfortable the train is when buying a ticket on the Tutu.ru website (step "seat selection"). There, each type of car has a description, information about the availability of air conditioning and a dry closet, and passenger reviews. Reviews can only be left by those passengers who actually traveled on this train.

Several types of new trains with a high level of comfort run inside the country. These are seated trains - no other classes of service are required here, as the trip lasts no more than a few hours. In the direction Minsk - Vilnius there are sit-down trains of Polish production, consisting of three cars. In the direction Minsk - Gomel, electric trains of the EPM series run. In the second class there is air conditioning and a dry closet, soft seats with a reclining table, a socket between the seats. The first-class carriage is spacious and has leather seats. In terms of comfort, EPM trains resemble the Sapsan economy class.

New comfortable electric trains of the EPG and EPR series have been launched on regional and city lines (in the capital area). But there are still many old electric trains with hard benches and no air conditioning on the lines. Prices for suburban transport in Belarus are among the lowest in Europe - they are on average 4 times lower than in the Russian Federation and 8 times lower than in Germany.

At the moment, the main problem of Belarusian trains is the obsolescence of wagons. At the beginning of 2012, the fleet of passenger cars of the Belarusian railway consisted of about 1,700 units. Of these, 56% are recognized as worn out. The government is trying to update the cars - most of them are ordered at the Gomel VZZ.

In terms of quality of service, BC is in second place after Russia among all carriers in the CIS countries. For example, Belarusian trains are much better than most Ukrainian trains. The rather high quality of the BC trains is also confirmed by the rating on the Tutu.ru website - almost all of them have a rating of 8 or 9 points out of 10.
