Yes/no - it's complicated, I just did some research into that trip[1]. TL;DR: No, there are no hop-on-and-off tickets, yes, you can buy tickets at any of the stations but you might be out of luck because it's fully booked, leaving you stranded for a few days.

- osense 10y agoWhoa, didn't expect that much travelling information on Wikipedia, it almost reads like a travel guide. Thanks a lot for the link.
- jlg23 10y agoIt actually is a travel guide (called itinerary on wikivoyage) ;)
- osense 10y agoAh, I didn't notice at all :) Didn't even know there was such a thing as wikivoyage, definitely very cool though.
- guard-of-terra 10y agoUnfortunately, much of information looks out of date or imprecise. I'm contemplating doing edits. "Tickets to international destinations (international means Mongolia and China, but not ex-USSR countries) are a completely different story. You can buy them only at dedicated cash desks (международные кассы) at major train stations. You can't buy such tickets online, even if you see the number of free seats and other details on the website. Prices do not depend on the season. They are calculated in Swiss Francs." WUT? Maybe it was indeed so at some point of time but now it's news from Mars.
