A small and cozy train station. The legacy of the Soviet past. There are many such stations in Kazakhstan. Renovated. Excellent station parking. And the very advantageous location of the station itself is in the center of Karaganda. It is very convenient that the intercity bus station is adjacent to the railway station building. So the journey can be continued without much time expenditure. The platforms are so-so. The station cafes and catering outlets leave much to be desired.
The train station is in the city center. You can quickly get from anywhere. The ticket offices are inside, there are several halls, a mother and child room. Mini-hotel. There are a couple of places where you can get coffee. It is divided into old and new parts. In the new part, there is an aboveground passage on 2, 3 tracks. If the first one is occupied, you can go there, although it is rarely used. Also in the second part there are ATMs and other places of rest, few people know about them, so they are more often free. It's cool in winter, it's hard to heat. There are quite a few homeless people and strange personalities. There is a toilet in the basement, and storage rooms. The seats in the waiting rooms are already tired, there are few outlets. In general, after the renovation, the station has become much better, but there is still something to improve.
Trains in the Republic of Kazakhstan are often late, be prepared to wait. Announcements in two languages are made regularly.
The station is pretty clean, there is a pharmacy, there is a place to eat, a decent waiting room. Very polite ticket sales operators. They tell everything, the train number, arrival and departure times are marked on the tickets, you won't get confused. The information boards are very convenient. Everything is convenient for us as tourists.
In many ways, it is a convenient train station.
Escalators are used to get to the platforms. Very convenient.
There is a cafe. Tea, coffee, to eat.
Those who know the time can run to the Yuzhny supermarket - 5 minutes in one direction.
The station has retained the internal Soviet interior in some halls.
I really like the location of our train station. Centre. You want a shopping mall nearby . You want Tahir and the south nearby. The station itself is ordinary. Nothing superfluous. There is enough space to wait. In principle, I like everything. I repeat especially the location of the situation 👍
I like to travel by train. I love our train station. He's not perfect. Far from super-modern.. It's a pity, of course.. But! Our railway station is much better, cleaner, and more comfortable than many stations in Kazakhstan!
I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and order at the station. The waiting rooms turned out to be comfortable and spacious. The information boards with the schedule are very conveniently located.
There are a lot of places to wait, there are coffee machines, a buffet and everything else for a comfortable wait. Free toilet with all amenities, although not very clean.
The location of the station is very good, the recently completed repair of roads and parking is very useful... a thoughtful approach to marking, both on the forecourt and on platforms...
A normal train station, there is a place to wait for the arrival of the train. The numbness is clear and light. Finally, the toilets have been sorted out and now they are free, as far as I'm concerned, it's cleaner there now than when they were paid.
COMPLAINT ‼️‼️‼️
Interested in train 327 Kostanay -Karaganda
I can't buy tickets for 12/29/24 (December)
In the Railway tickets application, it was written: ticket sales will be available from 11/15.24 (November)
I write this date in the search - they write THERE are NO Tickets. (Photo in the attachment)
I call the number 1433 and they say: they are switching to winter time, wait, and they have been saying this for exactly a week, there is no specifics..
Request : To resolve this situation‼️
There are holidays in December, so you need to purchase tickets in advance.
Well, I don't even know. Of course, there is a problem with toilets, but it is better than it was. There are always places for those waiting in the hall, the loudspeaker works well. Nice people help.
Good day to all! A very significant place for the city, so to speak, a face, or a business card of the city of Karaganda! After the reconstruction, the station is very cozy, sociable and convenient.
After the reconstruction, the station meets many modern standards. In winter, the platform is not cleaned, which is a huge disadvantage when transporting people with disabilities in wheelchairs.
Our railway station is getting better and more beautiful! That's just one wish! Come up with something so that the suitcases don't have to be dragged into the wagons!
Karaganda station and train station is the place where you can buy food and drinks for the road at an adequate price, since everything is very expensive in Astana, so buy on the road
It's dirty and uncomfortable. There is simply nothing to buy a snack on the platform. And where are the famous chebureks? The management of the station does not leave the office. Poor old people and children! Cross the path of a great challenge. Snow and ice. There are no elementary bins for garbage.
Although the station was renovated, there is still a shortage of places to sit down, the toilet is free, they did not really clean there, the smell is terrible, the ATM was unsuccessfully moved, you have to go up to the third floor, exit to the platforms when the first tracks are occupied, you have to run to another part of the station and go up and down three escalators, you barely get there in time When there are a lot of people, the escalator stops and you run, it's very inconvenient
The 1st time was in May 2024. The railway station is big, there are a lot of labyrinths, you can get lost. Because of this, I took off 1 star. In general, the railway station is very large for Karaganda, more than in Kostanay, although the city is younger than ours. 👍

Excellent and convenient train station.
But be careful when you put things on the tape at the entrance, there are cases when small handbags disappear, especially when there are a lot of people.
It's a good train station. There is everything you need. 2 waiting rooms. It is not a convenient transition to the second platform. You can't get through with a suitcase.
I travel a lot around Kazakhstan. And I can say with confidence that since it stinks of homeless meat at the train station in Karaganda, it does not stink at any other train station in the country.
It's actually very interesting. They check the bags at the entrance.I don't want to pass the fence from the side.I didn't get the point. Maybe it's necessary? It is not clear in short
