Swallow train and Rosa Khutor railway station - schedule and description
In my opinion, the Lastochka train and the Rosa Khutor railway station are quite independent attractions of the Krasnaya Polyana resort. To sophisticated people who have seen Moscow, St. Petersburg and other Europe, this idea will seem funny, but we also have a category of people in the country who are not used to this level of comfort. Instead of green rumbling and stinking coffins, you are greeted by a door opener button, personal seats and air conditioning. Vzhuh - and you are already on the coast! In silence, coolness and splendor. The station itself seemed to me empty, like a cosmodrome and the inspection at the checkpoint here is no less thorough than at the airport.

Swallow and Rosa Khutor station
The building of glass and metal was built to serve the Olympic traffic, which became less intensive after the games, and there were even rumors on the RuNet that the station was almost planned to be dismantled or closed as unnecessary. But rumors are rumors, and the building is still functioning. There are a lot of police officers, inspection with frames and X-rays, you need to lay out all the hardware and phones from your pockets. Although how many times I went there, I always came across perfectly adequate, smiling normal aunts, without the famous soviet dominance and dismissive intonations.
The first floor includes cash desks, toilets, entrance and exit turnstiles, vending machines with soda, coffee and snacks. Everything inside is clean, civilized, air-conditioned. At the checkout, they give a paper check with a barcode, which will be needed at the exit at the destination station. To the platform with trains you need to climb the escalator and stairs. Due to this location, it is impossible to get here bypassing the turnstiles and guards - complete anti-terror and «Border is locked tight». On the train, beauty, silence and continuous passage along the entire length of the train - you can always find a free seat for yourself without fighting with the sliding doors in the vestibules.
Schedule
