Inhabitants and guests of the British capital will acknowledge the arts and science highlights in USSR by just riding in this train.

The train project held in the frames of Russian-British cross year of Science and Education, according to the head of Moscow transportation department Maxim Liksutov. It is the most most ambitious project undertaken by two world subways. The official is sure that this project will demonstrate much more similarities between Russia and Britain than it first appears.
