The Eastern Express (Turkish: Doğu Ekspresi) is an overnight passenger train operated by Turkish State Railways. The train runs from Ankara Railway Station to Kars Railway Station in Kars.[1] The train was the first overnight service east of Ankara. The Eastern Express stops in 7 provincial capitals: Ankara, Kırıkkale, Kayseri, Sivas, Erzincan, Erzurum and Kars.[2] The first train ran in 1936 from Istanbul's Haydarpaşa Terminal to Çetinkaya.[3]
Until the Ankara-Istanbul high-speed train project, the train ran between Istanbul and Kars.
Due to the increasing popularity of the train, TCDD Taşımacılık added a second train named the Touristic Eastern Express. This new train operates three times a week with fewer stops and costs more than the regular Eastern Express train. The Touristic Eastern Express was inaugurated in 2019 from Ankara.
