The departure time is not 0920 GMT. Because the UK will have gone on to summer time by the time these scheduled times start, it's 0920 local time = 0820 GMT.

The arrival time is 1435 throughout the summer season. St Petersburg is on GMT+3 in both winter and summer, so that arrival time is equivalent to 1135 GMT for the whole season.

0820 GMT to 1135 GMT is 3:15, as you know.

So I can't see any point at which the arrival time at St Petersburg will become 1535. It could hypothetically do so if St Petersburg were to go onto summer time of its own, but it won't.

Hi Globaliser

Thanks for breaking it down ^ I forgot the Russian are keeping winter time, they love to mix things up
