The Nevsky Express was initially retired with the introduction of the faster Sapsan high speed trains but was later reinstated in the schedule in 2010. The train covers the distance between Moscow and Saint Petersburg in 4 hours 10 minutes. By comparison, the Sapsan trains take between 3 hours 30 minutes(minimum time) and 4 hours(maximum time) to make the same trip.
