Operation history
Russian railways began operation of the DT1 in 2009 on the Saint Petersburg - Pskov, "Pleskov." route. Two trains were in operation, running on an express route out of Baltiysky Rail Terminal.[3]
The volume of purchases for these trains has promptly increased since 2009. The Russian Railway company is pending implementing units for multiple routes, including from Saint Petersburg to Gdov, Sortavala, and Primorsk (through station Ushkovo).[4]
