There are many alternative routings between Moscow and Siberia. For example:
[[File:RZD ED9MK-0029 at Polovinniy stop, Circum-Baikal Railway, 2009 (32356262012).jpg|thumb|[[Circum-Baikal railway]]]]
* Some trains would leave Moscow from [[Kazansky Rail Terminal]] instead of [[Yaroslavsky Rail Terminal]]; this would save some {{convert|20|km|0|abbr=on}} off the distances, because it provides a shorter exit from Moscow onto the Nizhny Novgorod main line.
* One can take a night train from Moscow's [[Kursky Rail Terminal]] to [[Nizhny Novgorod]], make a stopover in the Nizhny and then transfer to a Siberia-bound train
* From 1956 to 2001 many trains went between Moscow and Kirov via [[Yaroslavl]] instead of [[Nizhny Novgorod]]. This would add some {{convert|29|km|0|abbr=on}} to the distances from Moscow, making the total distance to Vladivostok at {{convert|9288|km|0|abbr=on}}.
* Other trains get from Moscow (Kazansky Terminal) to Yekaterinburg via [[Kazan]].
* Between Yekaterinburg and Omsk it is possible to travel via Kurgan [[Petropavl]]ovsk (in [[Kazakhstan]]) instead of Tyumen.
* One can bypass Yekaterinburg altogether by traveling via [[Samara, Russia|Samara]], [[Ufa]], [[Chelyabinsk]] and Petropavlovsk; this was historically the earliest configuration.

Depending on the route taken, the distances from Moscow to the same station in Siberia may differ by several tens of km (a few dozen miles).
