The president of Kazakhstan Railways, Askar Mamin, announced that there are plans to introduce Talgo trains on three additional routes this year.
“Last year we introduced a system of tiered pricing for travel on Talgo trains depending on demand. This innovation allows our high-speed trains to attract more passengers, and provides the bulk of passengers, including pensioners and students, the opportunity to buy cheaper tickets,” Mamin said.
Two new Talgo train services will be launched from Astana west to Aktobe and Ulralsk, while a third will operate from Aktobe to Almaty in the southeast. Talgo trains already operate on eight services radiating from Astana and Almaty.
