Local trains to vladimir run from Kursk and express from Yaraslov stations? are mini-buses found only at Kursk, where, and what bus numbers? also, i see train stops for Vladimir and Vladimir Pass...which stop is Vladimir proper? are seats sold out quickly- do i have to buy a ticket in advance or can i pick it up the same day? are the trains as infrequent/late as schedules seem to be showing? if anyone can help- or point me to an UPDATED thread about this, i'd appreciate it!

'at the train station square'. Vladimir Pass is 'official' railway name for Vladimir, like 'Свердловск' for Екатеринбург.

It's Kurskaya Metro station (circle line as far as i remember). Anyway truly easy to find. The buses go quite frequently and you just have to make sure it's a bus going to Vladimir (saying one word Vladimir with raising intonation is enough and tail on

Yes, I'd take either express commuter train ( green/blue in that table above) or long distance train also from Kurski station. Not that they run more freauqntly, but like in http://poezda.net/ru/route_timetable?st_from=2000000&st_to=2060340&forDate=19-03-2009 spend about half an hour less on the way.
