The Lev Tolstoy makes the journey in about 6.5 hours (and continues on to Moscow), while the high-speed Allegro takes only about 3.5 hours. At least four Allegro trains make runs to St Petersburg each day, or more depending on the season. The same trains run on the St. Petersburg to Helsinki route each day.
