The first high-speed line (HSR-1) will connect St. Petersburg and Moscow. The project is designed for passenger traffic and will pass through six Russian regions: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Leningrad, Novgorod, Tver and Moscow regions. Trains on this line will run at 15-minute intervals.

By 2030, passenger traffic between St. Petersburg and Moscow is expected to be about 23 million people per year. About 120 domestic enterprises are involved in the project.

Earlier www1.ru reported that Russian Railways will launch additional freight trains thanks to HSR.
