Great service and very reliable!

I've booked with Ramsay travel a number of times now, it's so quick and easy to book with them. They make booking holidays super easy and take away any of the stress. They search around for the best deal and inform you quickly of any price changes at time of booking. I will 100% be booking with Ramsay's again for any future travels.

Booked Thailand holiday and leave next week!, but after numerous calls to the Dundee branch still no tickets arrived! Just called again and even though I'd been told they would be emailed as soon as they have them apparently they are on the supervisors desk waiting to be checked before they post them!!! Stressful enough going in holiday without having to worry about this, would be good to have the flight numbers so I could book seats on the planes.

So had rome booked for months

So had rome booked for months, due to go in December 23, Ryanair changed the return flight to a day later which wasn't feasible as I had work commitments. I've had to fight Ramsay World Travel Dundee for my money back, this was fully refundable but they insisted they couldn't pay it back as they had paid Ryanair and had to wait for the funds coming back. Nonsense that is, then cause I wasn't willing to accept that they paid in £441 of what was paid. But stated I'll need to apply to Ryanair to get the remaining balance of £277. Terrible company to deal with and I'll never use them again.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Arrow showing the direction of metro line 1 and 2

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂

First refuelling for Russia’s Akademik Lomonosov floating NPP

!{Model.Description}

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactor units. In such reactors, nuclear fuel is not replaced in the same way as in standard NPPs – partial replacement of fuel once every 12-18 months. Instead, once every few years the entire reactor core is replaced with and a full load of fresh fuel.

The KLT-40S reactor cores have a number of advantages compared with standard NPPs. For the first time, a cassette core was used, which made it possible to increase the fuel cycle to 3-3.5 years before refuelling, and also reduce by one and a half times the fuel component in the cost of the electricity produced. The operating experience of the FNPP provided the basis for the design of the new series of nuclear icebreaker reactors (series 22220). Currently, three such icebreakers have been launched.

The Akademik Lomonosov was connected to the power grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020.

Electricity generation from the FNPP at the end of 2023 amounted to 194 GWh. The population of Pevek is just over 4,000 people. However, the plant can potentially provide electricity to a city with a population of up to 100,000. The FNPP solved two problems. Firstly, it replaced the retiring capacities of the Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya Thermal Power Plant, which is more than 70 years old. It also supplies power to the main mining enterprises located in western Chukotka. In September, a 490 km 110 kilovolt power transmission line was put into operation connecting Pevek and Bilibino.

Stay clear of Dundee Ramsay Travel

Never will I ever use this company again. After asking to change holiday dates on an Easyjet booking, which I already paid £375. The holiday on Easyjet was £1200, Ramsay Travel wanted me to pay £1500 plus the £375 I had already paid. I understand they need to make a profit but £675 dearer than the online booking? ???? ?? NEVER..... ROBBERS... NEVER AGAIN..

Give Ramsay World Travel a Go! You won't be disappointed.

We had to make 3 trips into the shop before we decided what holiday trip was right for us and each time we were made very welcome by the courteous staff. Danielle McLeod was excellent in dealing with all our questions and queries on where we would like to go. Danielle provided us great choices of destinations and even cruises which we had not even considered. Once a resort was decided Danielle made sure it would tick all the boxes for us (our requirements and more). it was just so much better and if I can say easier than doing it online ourselves. So here's to our trip in a few weeks time and looking forward to it! Would honestly recommend visiting RWT for that more personal touch and easing you through any pitfalls that you may come across when doing it yourself. Thank You Ramsay World Travel and Danielle.
