Hey, nice site. Just wanted to write and let visitors know that the crew does not let you get out of the train at the China-Mongolia border anymore. They lock the toilets before the train even slows down to stop at trans-siberian border crossings! Three hours without a toilet was painful! Travelers should learn what time the train will cross the border, and ensure they go to the toilet beforehand.
Regards,
Jim
