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 don't like Russian trains, you'll definitely will not like the buses on our roads.
There are a lot of ferry companies serving this route 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 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.

    Good luck with that, Volga is beauty now. And never use the roads - they are awful between the cities, unfortunately.
