And so in the regional center all types of intercity and urban transport are represented. If we talk about transportation within the city, then buses, trolleybuses and trams are available for residents. But if we talk about trips to other settlements, then the railway remains out of competition here, because Irkutsk is a major hub on the Trans-Siberian Railway.
In Irkutsk, even railway stations are equated with monuments
To serve passenger and freight rail transportation in Irkutsk, 2 stations were built: "Irkutsk-Passenger" and "Irkutsk-Sorting". The main station is the first where trains are served long distance and suburban communications.
The station building appeared here in 1897, and exactly 100 years later a major reconstruction was carried out.
By the way, the Irkutsk railway station is considered a monument of federal significance. The station is equipped with three platforms with 14 tracks.
Little Winter of the winter region
But the Irkutsk region is not only its capital, there are many interesting and original settlements here. One of them is Zima, located at a distance of 230 km from the regional center. This settlement became a city in 1922, today the population of Zima is just over 30 thousand people. Despite not the largest number of residents, there are schools, lyceums, vocational schools, youth sports schools, cultural and entertainment centers, cinema and other objects of social infrastructure.
From Zima station at any time of the year
If we talk about transport, you can get into the city or leave it by bus or by rail. Zima has a large station that connects the city with other settlements region. The station of the same name appeared in parallel with the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway and today serves several dozen long-distance flights. From here you can get not only to other cities of the country (Moscow, Vladivostok, Chita), but also to other states: China, Mongolia.
From Zima to Irkutsk by rail
Naturally, the most popular route among Zimints is a trip to the regional center, and it is most convenient to carry it out on the good old electric train. To date, the train schedule Zima - Irkutsk has only three electric trains, so those who wish to go to Irkutsk need to be extremely careful, because if they are late, they will have to wait a very long time. In principle, electric trains depart from here towards the regional center one at a time in the morning, afternoon and evening.
Not Irkutsk alone
All 3 trains start their journey in Zima and arrive at the platform of the central station of Irkutsk. Naturally, not all passengers can go to their final destination, because on the way to Irkutsk the electric train makes 25 stops where you can get off and transfer to trains going in other directions. So, by electric train you can get to:
— Oka;
- Stopping point of the 4971st km;
- Hartovskaya;
- Jargon;
— Malta.
Stops here are short, so it is better to hurry up with disembarkation or landing.
Schedule of electric trains from Zima to the regional center
Returning to the trains, the first one from the Zima station leaves at 07-35, by the way, this is the longest flight, the passenger will spend as much as 5 hours and 20 minutes on the way.
A little faster will be the journey for passengers of the daytime flight "Winter - Irkutsk". The electric train departs at 11-15 and will give you 4 hours and 48 minutes of travel across the expanses of the Irkutsk region.
Well, the fastest will be the electric train, which completes the movement from Zima towards Irkutsk. Passengers who do not want to spend the night in this hospitable city should arrive at the station early, because after the departure of the electric train at 17-30, it is impossible to get to Irkutsk using a suburban message. By the way, the electric train will be on the platform of the Irkutsk-Passenger station at 22-04.
