In June 2020, the average delivery speed of cargo as a whole throughout the Russian Railways network increased to 453.7 km per day, which is 16.4% higher than the same period last year.

The average speed of China-Europe transit container trains on Russian Railways infrastructure (Kartaly-Krasnoye section) in June reached 1327.8 km per day (28.8% higher than a year earlier).
