Border Crossings: Estonia - Russia

All rail routes between this pair of countries are 1520mm gauge.

(Tallinn -) Narva ER - Ivangorod-Narvskiy RŽD (- Sankt-Peterburg)

[D] This route carries a daily Tallinn - Moskva train pair. From 27 May 2012 it will also carry a daily Tallinn - St. Peterburg train pair.

(Tartu - Orava -) Piiroja ER - Pechory-Pskovskie RŽD (- Pskov)

This direct line to Pechory-Pskovskie closed when the new Estonian border station of Koidula opened to traffic on 23 May 2011. It was replaced by a new connection from the Orava direction to Koidula.

(Tartu - Orava -) and (Riga LDZ - Valga ER -) Koidula ER - Pechory-Pskovskie RŽD (- Pskov)

[D] No cross-border passenger service. The new Estonian border station of Koidula opened to traffic on 23 May 2011 although the actual station building was not completed until July. Opening of the new connection from the Orava line to Koidula resulted in the closure of the direct connection from the Orava line to Pechory-Pskovskie, with its separate viaduct over the river which forms the border.

Tartu - Orava passenger services were extended to Koidula with effect from 1 September 2011. It is expected that services between Valga and Koidula will be introduced in 2014. Koidula is not listed as a border station in the legal agreement between Estonia and Russia because this was drawn up in 2002. It would need to be amended before any cross-border passenger services could start.
