c. Train Classes. With a few exceptions, all international trains have two or three classes. The names and standards of the classes depend on whether it is a Mongolian, Russian or Chinese train.
On the Russian (and Mongolian) trains, most travellers travel in 2nd class - printed on tickets and timetables as 2/4' and known as 'coupe' or kupeynyy in Russian. These are small, but perfectly comfortable, four-person compartments with four bunk-style beds and a fold-down table.
First class (printed as '1/4')or 'soft-sleeper'.  It has softer beds but hardly any more space than a Russian 2nd class seat and is not worth the considerably higher fare charged. On Chinese trains/No.3 and No.4 two-berth compartments have jet-air ventilation and share a small WC/washroom with the neighbouringcompartment.  It’s is nonsmoking.
The real luxury (and expense) comes with Chinese deluxe class (printed as '1/2'): roomy, wood-paneled two-berth compartments with a sofa, and a shower cubicle shared with the adjacent compartment. The deluxe class on Russian trains, which is slightly cheaper than the Chinese deluxe, has two bunks but is not much different in size than the 2nd class and has no showers.
