Taking a bike on the train from Irkutsk to Vladivostok
Hi guys,
I am currently in Irkutsk with a broken BMW that I need to get to Vladivostok so I can ship it back to Australia. Reading reports on HUBB and blogs I was under the impression that such an option wouldn't be too painful but after attempting to talk to cargo receptionist at the station today (I have next to no Russian) I have been told that they can't ship the bike till 10 days time and it may take longer than that again for it to arrive.
I'm trying to track down a translator to try again and make sure of the dates but if they are true I am looking at a long wait. If there is anyone who has put their bike on the train in Russia before that can give me an idea of how long in should take?
Cheers
