The Russian railways company began operation of the unit in 2009 on the Saint Petersburg - Pskov route, "Pleskov." Two trains were maintained, running on an express route from Baltiysky Rail Terminal. [3]

The volume of purchases for these trains has promptly increased since 2009. The Russian Railway company is pending implementing units for multiple routes, including from Saint Petersburg to Gdov, Sortavala, and Primorsk (through station Ushkovo.)[4]
