I have written for Wanderlust on the subject of altitude sickness – http://www.wanderlust.co.uk/magazine/blogs/matthew-woodward/the-perils-of-high-altitude-train-travel

I commend your courage to take such travels alone. How old are you? Did you not have altitude sickness?

I tend to buy 2 tickets on the Trans-Sib and have my own compartment. You meet lots of people in the restaurant..
You might be lucky or not in terms of if you have a share or not. In China it's much harder to do this. Four berth is standard soft class and I expect to share. The system wants a passport number for each berth. Hope that helps.

I want to travel from London to Shanghai in July/August and haven't decided yet whether to travel four berth or go first class in a two berth. I suppose you get to meet more people in a four berth sleeper….I am travelling solo presently.
