Strizh (train)
The Strizh (Russian: Стриж, lit. 'Swift') is a Russian locomotive-hauled, low-floor, high-speed express train.
The trains have been running between Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod since 1 June 2015 and between Moscow and Berlin since 17 December 2016. On the Moscow – Nizhny Novgorod line, they make 1 to 3 stops, linking the two cities in 3 hours 35 minutes (when they only stop in Vladimir). The cars are pulled by an EP20 locomotive.
In 2016, Russian Railways also connected Moscow and Berlin using the Strizh. The travel time between the two cities is a little over 20 hours.
Previously the train was in operation on international line:
The Strizh trains run between Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod since 1 June 2015. They make 1 to 3 stops on the line: in Dzerzhinsk, Kovrov and Vladimir. The travel time between Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod is between 3 hours 35 minutes, when it stops only in Vladimir, and up to 3 hours 50 minutes with 3 stops. The cars are pulled by an EP20 locomotive.
Another fast train, the Lastochka ("Swallow") operates on the same line but makes 6 stops: in Orekhovo-Zuyevo, Vladimir, Kovrov, Vyazniki, Gorokhovets and Dzerzhinsk, travelling between Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod in 4 hours 6 minutes.
Running of Strizh trains in Russia was terminated in March 2022 due to sanctions.
The Strizh trains were in operation between Moscow and Berlin from 17 December 2016 until 15 March 2020. Later this international route was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and closing of borders between countries. The length of the line was 1,896 km (1,178 mi).
