As chanp mentioned, I flew from Moscow (SVO-1) to St Pete (LED, Pulkovo-1). Took the Moscow metro to the Aeroexpress train to the crappy shuttle bus to get to SVO-1. From LED, took a bus to the SP Metro.

Got a ticket for tomorrow, Thursday, for a train from St Pete to Moscow. Had my hotel front desk call and order it and it was delivered the same day for a 300 ruble fee. There is a fast train dep 4PM that takes 5.5 hours and a faster train (my choice) that departs at 6:30 and takes 4.5 hours. Other than that there are a few local trains every day (8 hours).
