TSN reports this with reference to the Groshi program.
As it turned out, Kirill's train had as many as 20 carriages. One of them is a special mobile church. It was surprisingly easy for the journalists to be allowed inside by the patriarch's train conductor.
A luxurious golden interior, a crucifix and even an altar. This is what a mobile church of an Orthodox VIP looks like. Further - the chambers of Patriarch Kirill.
When asked how the Patriarch's carriage differs from the rest of the carriages, the conductor said that Kirill had his own study, shower and even a kitchen.
"It's like his headquarters. There is a long table where he gathers his people. There is his office, his shower, his own hygiene room, and everything. The rest is the same. Well, there is a kitchen, of course," said the train conductor of the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church …
But they don't wear tea in the compartment to Patriarch Kirill - he has his own chef. According to another guide, in addition to the mobile church, the Patriarch's express train has three restaurants, one saloon car and one bar car.
