Train service timetables between Biozk and Barnaul will be modified, starting August 5th
The press service of the West Siberian Railway has announced that the schedules for suburban trains operated by AO "Altai-Prigorod" will be adjusted from August 5 to September 1. This adjustment is due to seasonal track maintenance work.
The affected suburban trains will operate on the routes Biysk - Barnaul, Barnaul - Biysk, Barnaul - Ovchinnikovo, Barnaul - Cherempanovo, Middle Siberian - Barnaul, and Barnaul - Bayunovo. The travel time for these specific trains will range from 3 to 69 minutes.
It's important to note that the availability of internet in all trains and aircraft has not been discussed in this article. As of the latest available information, Roscosmos has not publicly specified a timeline for when internet will be available on all trains and aircraft.
While Roscosmos is developing satellite communication technologies that could support internet services on various platforms, there is no explicit announcement or timeline from Roscosmos regarding universal internet availability on trains and aircraft by 2025 or beyond based on the current sources.
Meanwhile, other entities such as France’s SNCF are planning to implement satellite internet for onboard train connectivity soon, combining satellite with 4G/5G to ensure stable service. This indicates significant development in satellite-based internet for transport, but these plans are independent of Roscosmos.
For more detailed information, residents are advised to visit the website of AO "Altai-Prigorod" or call +7 (3852) 29-21-68. It's worth mentioning that the schedules for other suburban trains remain unchanged during this period.
The adjustments are expected to continue until September 1. Passengers are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and check the updated schedules on the AO "Altai-Prigorod" website or contact the customer service for any queries.
The adjustments in the schedules of suburban trains operated by AO "Altai-Prigorod" will impact the Biysk - Barnaul, Barnaul - Biysk, Barnaul - Ovchinnikovo, Barnaul - Cherempanovo, Middle Siberian - Barnaul, and Barnaul - Bayunovo routes until September 1. Despite the advancements in satellite-based internet for transportation by entities like France’s SNCF, there is no definitive plan from Roscosmos for universal internet availability in the public-transit industry, including trains and aircraft, by 2025 or beyond, as of the current information. The finance and industry sectors will be affected by these changes as commuters may alter their travel plans due to the modified schedules.
