The first train has arrived in Paris on a new cross-continental route that connects Moscow Berlin and Paris.
Run by Russia’s train company RZD, the 3200ks trip took 38 hours, at speeds of up to 200km per hour.

High speed rail cross nations is becoming the norm
The cheapest fare was NZ$600, and the most expensive ticket costs NZ$1802. For comparison, the price of an average Moscow-Paris one-way plane ticket is almost half the price.
The service has 8 sleeping carriages, a bar and dining car.
