but. 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 out the old year. i'm not

actually. meant to be here. when you love this is my big mama she isn't supposed to be here. had planned to celebrate in moscow 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 under of adventure without her but here's a. lifelong 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 trying to get something out of it momma's 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 petersburg for free. unfortunately it turns out that uncle eagle already has a wife and a patient one train conductor doesn't get to celebrate the big holiday with her until january the second. usually rings in the new year with his passengers. i'm the conductor father for us asked me to give this to you even though you're on the train so remember as you. are sure. everyone is happy to celebrate new year on the train. celebrating at home means t.v. salads and so forth people have these same things every year people want to celebrate new year on the train because i don't know what do they say it's cool it's different. has also become tired of t.v. and festive salads so she decided to go with the very last moment. hasn't paid for

this new year's train ride to st petersburg. it's been years i had no way to go and no one to celebrate new year with all my friends are far from moscow and my 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 because you know there's always something interesting on the train ran a couple 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 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 there was yet another new year miracle for the two friends when moscow resident 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. the other i'm a fool but why. twenty one i'm forty three but as fun i thought it would be a good idea. girls everything ok here is festoon if you. sunshine here you go champaign it cost seven hundred fifty rubles you offend me. waitress angela always celebrates new year with her passengers. not the passengers on new year's eve or 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 they had prepared so well. well after all they knew that they were going to see the new year on a train that there's a tree animals in every table and the decorations and some incredible house on their heads and they're even children too these are not just traveling they're doing it with all their part having found 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 them ten jury and. who wants a doubtful though a tendering again happy new year i'll give this useful thing to you to. the new year i wish you all happiness and be happy. so 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 headed 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 his cellphone close by. if she calls to say she's waiting for me i'll be off the train at the next stop. 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. so. please meet lee he's from china. and she doesn't get anything no no no no a little bit. she already understands. the feel. good happy new year. as the new year approaches people who were strangers just hours ago but become fast friends. travelling without a ticket can you give me some advice. nikolai 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 is an important point is important is that chilled most likely turn out to be a completely different person than you imagine her to be when you play games on

line with your girls i guess we'll meet again. as a look at his phone remains silent. it's no good if someone's on their own it shouldn't be like this where 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 i go with 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 and give birth to children this is very good that's what happiness is about. all good and legal matter a year ago this very train. honest we met at the dining car in fact to accord each others i went into was trying to figure something out with the train conductor and i asked him where the dining car was that it was well swore there wasn't any music on the train yeah that was it and there's not today either 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 so it was how we met. begin talking at first i didn't think that it could lead to a relationship that you list and i 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. the good i had little said story of my trip had the code name 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. i just don't. think us because we even brought them together so to say you moved the girl was not us but rather the railroad that became their matchmaker if 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.

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. picking 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 better well like watching people coming together people are traveling to 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. they've got food and because our people are treating them to russian champagne. on the bus money 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 china russia and russia must go on for a long one year and are you enjoying it. it's very cold. here today we have people who want to be here they love this holiday and they decided to celebrate new year on the train even older people said it's romantic it's simply great it's cool. to. play means to. the.

no matter whether we go from st petersburg to moscow we're from moscow to st petersburg which i don't train fifty two is sheer joy everybody.

was building a new. mission to teach me. why you should care only. wealthy british. market. find out what's really happening to the global economy. for a no holds barred global financial headlines kaiser report. you

.

guys have been singing without me makes me very sad you've been singing without me . even if all goes are singing a lot so we decided to have an ensemble work yeah i'm busy serving passengers right now but i'm definitely going to sing i love singing very much. and this is got our own folk singer here you know what it's wonderful that you doesn't matter how a person sings it's just the mood that matters my family works here my son works at the dining car as a chef was ahead of the dining cars my daughter and all i help my children and i like it that i like being together with them working with people is interesting we

happen 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. new year at work on the train is also good because a lot i mean someone means that you're traveling people are traveling there are guests are passengers as it should be someone to serve them and i'm here to do that there should be someone to do that kind of job. if you. give me a little journey if you even feel that way by. this

new year's day you can all go and igor a wide awake 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 that was the single cloud in the sky despite being thoroughly soaked to the love was a determined to retrace last year's routes to the r.h. golf bridge where they first kids. will remember how it was last year but i wouldn't say that the emotions are the same they are different this time. but we definitely have positive emotions i love my husband i hope he loves me of course i do. we stopped at the bridge because it offered a magnificent view. of what the weather was cloudless like as well as

a good lights reflecting in the water because he much. older loves taking photos so she began to first grow the reflection of the lights and at that moment i just. feel it's a miracle i'm a. human so you. i guess i believe in miracles. knickers so i think we all believe in marriage some people simply forget about it but in their heart of hearts they never stop believing and then suddenly in miracle 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.

you know it's january first and i'm already going to work. also sure that a new year 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 are you about done well when i got home i saw a message on the line printed in 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 at the very alexy immediately drops everything and head straight back to moscow. york with a ticket to moscow place with the. economy or business

economy class but then you know the 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. the rest of the group. this is simply great all the more so because i'm an art teacher alan 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. when 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 and today we give greeting cards to people on the street who will light.

this is the you know after the night after the merry 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 need to 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 grind so 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 just in 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. i want to be a watch and i love money very much but i can only stand being on holiday with her for two days at most mommas good in small doses but decided to send her bag well because she needs to. you know. when you. want to talk google 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. a wonderful new year every now i'm going to be late so i'm going to run away. with the train on platform six whoa depart in two minutes have a safe trip. we will.

listen and 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 around two if all goes well we'll be robbed three four five. mommy i love you now on new year's day the group celebrates a game in the 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 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 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 ticket just when 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 what if my heart says yes but my head says no but still i keep on hoping. live. live. live
