I'm basically sitting beside the Volga river at present looking at the ferry terminal, and wondering if ferries or buses run instead of a train to Astrakhan - having just spent 34 hours on a train, I'd be interested in another option if reasonable.

You really should not use the bus for this trip - if you doesn't like the Russia trains, you'l definitely will not like the bus on our roads.
There is a lot of ferry companies serving such journey, and I recommend you to visit the Ferry station on Volgograd and choose appropriate (Volga-tour, for example).
Main problem for you is to get the ticket in only one-way - all companies generally sell roundtrip.

Oh I don't MIND Russian trains, they're very interesting. It's just that if there's another option it could be fun to do something different. – Mark Mayo Jun 22 '11 at 6:14
Many thanks, am at the ferry terminal now, will hunt out Volga-tour. – Mark Mayo Jun 22 '11 at 6:15

Good luck with that, Volga is beauty now. And never use the roads - they are awful between the cities, unfortunately. – VMAtm Jun 22 '11 at 6:20
