The proposals will be submitted to the Russian Government for approval. The cost of the project will be RUB1.2tn ($39bn) and recommendations are being prepared to assess the cost of the project’s lifecycle, which will be complete in 2011.

Upon completion of the line, the journey time between the cities will be 2.5hr, and 42 pairs of trains at about 400km/h will run on the track, serving up to 14 million passengers a year.
