Thanks. I was planning to allocate three nights for Khabarovsk and then visit Birobidzhan from there as a day trip. I know that means a bit of backtracking.

Should I just do the trans-Siberian and visit Irkutsk and Ulan Ude and skip the BAM?

I did see Ulan Ude for 30 minutes back in 2004. Ran off the train, snapped photo in front of big head of Lenin, ran back.
