The updated Aurora train was presented at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in June. At that time, the Federal Passenger Company presented only the general concept of the train, but now it is known what the train will actually look like. It has rotating seats, sockets and other amenities for passengers.
In September, Veliky Novgorod presented a full-size model of a high-speed train that will run on the Moscow-St. Petersburg high-speed line. A total of 43 trains are planned for the high-speed railway project by 2030.
