most people are rushing home to get ready for new year's celebrations but when a hurry to leave their new year's eve priority is not to miss the train. each one of these passengers is expecting miracles from this festive trip. this is like the first time we're celebrating on the train we've waited so long to do that we bought tickets a month ago and we're so excited about celebrating it on the way it's different from the usual parting at home with thousands in cooking and so excited. to. train fifty two from moscow to st petersburg depart in five minutes.

but. love love love love love love love love it's great so much fun. with two hours to go before new year passengers on the moscow st petersburg train up eagerly on packing their bags bringing out the food and starting to see the old year. oh i'm not actually. meant to be here just sing us softly a lot of this is my big mama she isn't supposed to be here of honor had planned to

celebrate in moscow st decorated a tree prepared salads and invited the neighbors but before the party she went to the railway station to see off her daughter and friend but when bidding the two farewell the door closed and she was aboard when the train pulled off and the train was going to stop but it kept going and going. but here's a. life long dream has been of a new year's adventure but only now is a pensioner is that dream finally coming true yes and i wanted to hit the emergency stop but they talked me out of it i didn't want to spoil their adventure we're trying to get something out of it mom has made friends of the conductor and he's promised her a free return ticket. eager eager we hope he'll be our father in law in the future so we can travel this of peter's bird for free. unfortunately it turns out that uncle eagle already has a wife and

family doesn't celebrate new year so i ended up alone i went to red square but there was nothing special there just a bunch of tourists and so i decided simply to catch a train but it is you know there's always something interesting on the train groups of friends get on so there's never a dull moment so i was sent down in the vestibule between the two doors there was four minutes before departure but when the conductor source me and the other girl it was me who brought her here she also had no one to celebrate new year with my main mosque mostly because of the holiday the conductor didn't kick the girls off and that was yet another new year miracle for the two friends when moscow resident nicholai let them travel with him nicholas going to st petersburg to meet his girlfriend they've known each other through an online game for a year now maybe even had a virtual online wedding recently but they haven't actually seen each other yet the confirmed bachelor has decided on new year's day to shift from the virtual world

and proposed to his internet girlfriend in the real one. yet i'm a fool but why. twenty one and i'm forty three but as fun i thought it would be a good idea. girls everything ok here is fast food if you. sunshine here you go champaign it cost seven hundred fifty rubles if you will send the. waitress angela always celebrates new year with her passengers. the passengers on new year's eve are just fabulous. i really like the way it has all turned out there's a very festive atmosphere in carriage number nine i was surprised at how interesting those people are he had prepared so well. well after all they knew that they were going to see the new year on a train if there's a tree in almost every table and their decorations and some incredible has on their

heads and they're even children too these are not just traveling they're doing it with all their part having down themselves on a train this new year's eve they made up their minds to make the best of a situation. who wants this useless stuff who wants some change or in. who wants a doubtful though a tangerine again happy new year i'll give this useful thing to you to. the new year i wish you all happiness being happy. petersburg native alexei and expected to be drinking champagne with his girlfriend diana in moscow but he ended up drinking beer on his own they arrived in the morning so the two could celebrate new year together but that evening she dumped

him for another guy. like they bought a ticket for the next train and made it home. for some new year makes dreams come true while for others it's just a fact of life now it so happened that i'm celebrating on the train and she chose another i can't do anything about it. but alexei continues to believe and to wait he keeps herself close by. if she calls to say she's waiting for me i'll be off the train at the next stop. and some of our compartment is the best on the train we all come from different places and i'm traveling with my two kids the guys are traveling on their own well i'm very happy that we all met there quietly it's cool and fun to be celebrating a new year to go. please meet lee he's from china. she doesn't get anything

no no no no a little bit. she already understands what you must. feel. good happy new year. as the new year approaches people who were strangers just hours ago have become fast friends. travelling without a ticket give me some advice. nicole i i hope that this woman mid-south to your expectations was me it's likely she will turn out to be quite different than you've imagined. but look here is age isn't important what is important is that chilled most likely turn out to be a completely different person than you've imagined her to be when you play games on line with your girls i guess we'll meet again.

there's a look at his phone remains silent. it's no good if someone's on their own it shouldn't be like this but what the new year is a holiday and people shouldn't be alone. and many find a partner young men and women and not only the young. the senior citizens and all kinds of people travel with us. and many get acquainted on the train and the train brings people together. what i mean to say is that when people are in the metro or when walking down the street or stand in line at a store they're less likely to say hello i like you while on the train in a pleasant atmosphere with a friendly conductor and a bunch of other factors it brings people together and for many it turns out to be . very good. people start families give birth to children this is very good that's

what happiness is about. all good and the goal met a year ago this very train. looking honest we met at the dining car in fact we called it others i went into was trying to figure something out with the train conductor and i asked him where the dining car was which well swore there wasn't any music on the train yeah that was it and there's none today are that they still haven't sorted that out and then i headed to the dining car to find there he asked if i could sit at my table i was travelling alone i simply decided to go to st petersburg that new year that was how we met it was also begin talking at first i didn't think that it could lead to a relationship that you listed going to hope that i couldn't see equal in january first to be honest but it so happened that we've been together for three hundred sixty seven days now which makes eight thousand eight hundred eighty four hours together and you lost them last year they travelled with us yes we remember them

and they remember me at the time i did not know they were a couple they didn't look like a couple yet then the girl was not as close to him as she is now this year she positively radiates for. good i had a little sad story of my trip had the code named drowning in the gulf of finland with a camera it was found that this was a pretty interesting ideas so we decided to do it together she said you could spend a day later met my mother in four days after that he proposed to me. and. say think us because we even brought them together so to say you moved the goal was not us but rather the railroad that became their matchmaker they met on our train perhaps it was destiny do you have a big family no not big only three father mother me now you go. going to marry in russia where in china is that a question our proposal. just

a few minutes a left before new year nicholas going to congratulate his future wife. taking up both of us have lives a row we'll sort it out it's not a big deal. is that even the little more you know on this night i'm not exactly waiting for a miracle i just want people to experience something that's well like watching people coming together people are travelling so what they want us to be for the first time they're meeting each other this is a huge there's a man from egypt and a guy from china skitzo they've got food and because our people are treating them to russian champagne pasta with them will keep us mum they probably don't understand any russian but they see this atmosphere and it's very interesting for them. do you like our traditions yes i like have a fun yes we're going to live in china russia and russia must go on for

here my son works at the dining car as a chef was ahead of the dining cars my daughter in law i help my children and i like it that i like being together with them working with people is interesting we happened to meet different people some have a good sense of humor others may give you some interesting information good advice most people are kind. i would be happy to celebrate new year at home but this is long. loveable new year at work on the train is also good there's a lot i mean someone needs it when you're traveling people are traveling there are guests are passengers there should be someone to serve them and i'm here to do that there should be someone to do that kind of job. you literally get

a view that way by. this new year's day you can all go and igor a wide awake they've decided to walk the streets of st petersburg until dawn in spite of the fact that the city's failed to offer a good new year whether it's raining. but a year ago it was completely different and the colors were different the sky was blue there was this single cloud in the sky despite being so early so the love was a determined to retrace last year's route to the on its gulf bridge where they first kissed. will remember how it was last year but i wouldn't say that the emotions are the same they are different this time. well we definitely have

positive emotions i love my husband i hope he loves me of course i do. like the market we stopped at the bridge because it offered a magnificent view. the weather was cloudless like it was again lights reflecting in the water because it was. all the loves taking photos so she began to face grow up the reflection of the lights but at that moment i just. knew the truth is it's a miracle i'm an older than you so yeah i guess i believe in miracles. knickers and so i think we all believe in marathons which some people simply forget about it but in their heart of hearts they never stop believing and then suddenly in america

happens and it comes from somewhere deep inside it revives again and as long as we believe in something wonderful can something beautiful miracles happen quickly. first and i'm already going to work. also sure that a miracle would come his way and in the morning he made up with his girlfriend on his way to work he received a message saying simply i was wrong i love you. when i got home i saw a message on the line my girlfriend had changed her mind and wanted to make up another she said she was wrong and i hope we won't argue again. i won't just let her go like this after all we've been together for two and

a half years and i believe we are made for each other. immediately drop everything and head straight back to moscow. the ticket to moscow place. to me or business economy class. difficulties make a relationship stronger if there were no problems it wouldn't be life it would be boring it was the first time i celebrated new year on the train at first i was very sad because i had to leave and i thought it would be my worst new year ever but once i got back things turned around like in a fairy tale. while the tension of one of us mother sleeps off the overnight festivities the rest of the group visits the hermitage. because this is simply great all the more so because i am an art teacher ellen artist i'm just well it's not exactly a dream come true that's an exaggeration but it came quite unexpectedly kind of

a surprise. because we communicated with the artists we chose three rooms that focused on them just like with focus on people that we don't squander our energies but we choose them and today we give greeting cards to people on the street who would light. was the you know after the night it was after the mary holiday we've had our crews from getting some rest there we've been gathering strength before next spring we've been sleeping to the joke goes i wish morning came as early as possible so i could go to work. you know our case we're waiting for evening to come so we can go to work we do have also been having a holiday while we've been working for them but we've also had a great time with the passengers now it's time to get back to the usual growing what i want this is a carriage was it you were the body it will definitely come again next year maybe three of us. are

going to go returning to moscow on the very train took them to petersburg practically everyone is the same on the platform they meet a group of friends with their mother as the conductor had promised. travels free of charge. here i want to be a witch and i love money very much but i can only stand being on holiday with her by two days at most as good in small doses but decided to send her bag well because she needs to. you know. orthogonal is so much fun you can even imagine it was great i never thought anything like this could happen for the first time in my life i had such an adventure when we had a wonderful new year every now i'm going to be late so i'm going to pick. the. blue train on platform six whoa depart in two minutes have

a safe trip. for you what. was an emotional brunch tonight we're going to a nightclub where there's a new year's celebration every night when we've sent our beloved money away and now it's time for round two if all goes well we'll be robbed three four five do mommy i love you now on new year's day the group celebrates again in a club where every night feels like a new year's celebration even in summer. oh. dear citizens of russia despite the snow in the traffic jams everyone is here i am glad. it's still in some petersburg he said a call from his girlfriend back in moscow i don't understand diana has changed her mind again and told alexei knox to come as well things change so to say she's

chosen another. but alexei still lives in hope of yet another miracle is in no hurry to give up his take it as to what i want to go before departure and that means diana has a full sixty minutes to change her mind one more time again i keep on hoping and waiting on what if my heart says yes but my head says no but still i keep on hoping . more news today boylan says once again flared up. these are the images the world
