Juho Hannukainen, the Director of Long-Distance Planning at VR, reminds us in a tweet today that Allegro, the high-speed train between Helsinki and St Petersburg is ten years old today. :cake:

I need to go on one, since I live in Helsinki and have never been on an Allegro!

Same here, though I managed Sibelius and Repin a few time. Repin was always a treat, especially in first class - proper compartments (which I think doubled as sleeping compartments) with the russian tea served at seat by the Prodvodnista (carriage attendant) and the obscenely complex plumbing of the end of carriage samovar.
