We are all travellers \u2013 we don\u2019t need to care about how we are dressing because what you are going to enjoy is not the way you dress; you can do that at home.

Especially with the toilets. One of the most inconvenient things on the Trans-Siberian Express two years ago was that all the train toilets would be closed when it stopped at stations. Sometimes the train stops for an hour and you have to be prepared. Two years ago they started to put new carriages on the Trans-Siberian trains, but you will never know if you are going to have a new carriage or an old carriage. I would definitely expect the worst. I always prepare my passengers by saying, \u2018You know what? It\u2019s going to be damn hot on the train and there is not going to be any air conditioning and the toilets will be closed. Just be prepared that there may not be much space and especially, big bags are not for the Trans-Siberian.\u201d <strong>\u2013 Anton, Russia.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a
