Will it be possible to board the train in Tbilisi?
I think it’ll be possible. But price may not be less.
Wow, thanks for the quick reply. Love your website, it’s been very informative!
I was convinced the train would stop in Tbilisi and have been waiting for it to start for ages, but a few days ago someone told me that she had heard it wouldn’t. Anyway, I haven’t found anything online, so it was probably just a rumour. Hopefully you’ll find out more as soon as possible and will post on this website!
Makes rail travel look very attractive!

This train is not working yet.. Hopefully soon..
Thank you Onur.
Can we know how many long time? Maybe we can wait and be the first passengers?
Hopefully less than one month.
Thank you Onur for your answer! As we Don t have so much time to wait this train work, we are going to kars by bike! So, can we take the train from Kars to Ankara with our bikes? There is place most of the time or train is full all the time? Thanks for advices!
You’re welcome. Bikes accepted if luggage car exists in train. I don’t think Kars trains have as standard. Station ticket office is the right place to ask.
Onur, Head End Power cars and wheelchair cars also accept bikes.
So does that mean all main lines accept bikes??
Is this also the train from Turkey to Tbilisi?
Yes
