There are two railway stations in Almaty city, of which this is the second railway station. For other cities of Kazakhstan, you will get the bus, sorry, you will get trains for other cities.
Everything is clean, satisfying, the trains arrive on time and according to schedule, but the trains are different, the conductors are rude, the laundry is on time, not fresh, stinks of the dirty body of previous passengers. In the restaurant car, they charge three times as much, the conductors demand 200 tenge for charging gadgets for 20 minutes of charge, the toilets are infected and stink, cigarette butts and spit in the vestibule.
It's not bad only the storage rooms have disadvantages, there are a lot of them there, but there are not expensive ones, but there are expensive ones. The Almaty train station is clean and the staff is polite. But it is not possible to buy tickets, there is no place at all, but this is probably temporary since it was a week before the first of September.
In general, the station is not bad, but there are several ill-conceived and inconvenient moments, for example, the transition to the second and third tracks to board your train is very inconvenient, you have to cross bypassing trains standing on the tracks and in the first Almaty, this moment was much thought out. There are underpasses and the above-ground crossings are equipped with an escalator.
The station is normal. Big. Surprisingly, it is always clear what the dispatcher announces. The scoreboard is working. It seems that everything is there that is needed for a good train station, for meetings or departure to / from the city.
Almaty 1 railway station is a very old building that does not meet modern requirements and standards of international sanitary standards of operation and fire safety... The inner territory of the station is very cramped, poorly lit with outdated ventilation, air conditioning and lighting engineering networks, not to mention fire alarm and automatic fire extinguishing systems... The station requires immediate major reconstruction and an increase in the usable area for passengers...
Excellent travel arrangements for passengers if your train is on track 1. Pros: smooth surface on the platform, neat exits - your suitcases on wheels will appreciate it. Let the experts talk about the organization of entrance control of baggage and passengers. The scoreboard is informative and operational. The hall is clean, the toilets are in order. If you are on the 2nd or 3rd path, then there are two options: 1) on the bridge on the left (if facing the tracks), and there is no inclined exit for strollers / suitcases, only steps, 2) on the right along the flooring between the rails, and then soil / rubble and if it rains, then dirt on the wheels of your suitcase. It would be good to fix this disadvantage. Photo from May 1, 2024 is attached.
This is a separate topic!I do not know if this is a state institution or not, but everyone wants the best!there is a mess in the carriages at the barrack station in local transportation, we were traveling on the talgo train to Tashkent, cleanliness and order.driving Almaty Shymkent was generally scary!It is possible that there was order in the toilets in general, I am silent!And in old trains in general, but foreigners ride them, it's a shame.It's not really impossible to put everything in order.
Since my youth, I often went to Almaty railway station 1 to eat at an ice cream parlor, it seemed so delicious to me! And I've always loved trains, now I travel on them every year.
No new technology, old things. After receiving so much money, you need to update. Garbage needs to be cleaned and there is little space to put a car in front of it

An exceptionally well-maintained, comfortable, functional and beautiful train station! The only drawbacks are the walking distance from the metro station, but maybe it's better in its own way.
This is for services, for comfort, the station of a small town, but not the station of the second capital, it was very inconvenient to go from the third way, either the work was underway, or no one cares for the comfort of the passenger - passengers with strollers simply could not pass on their own, in a word, the station is not for passengers👎🏻
I really like Almaty station 2, the location is convenient, transport, in particular bus 12 (the route was extended, which is very convenient, now those who live in the upper part of the city can easily get to the station. ) The station is clean, everything is accessible, the toilets are neat, a convenient waiting place, everything is displayed on the scoreboard, departure-arrival time. The poisoning sites of the compounds are also quite clean. I'm glad. Thanks!
A good train station, in a convenient location. The disadvantage is that getting off trains from secondary tracks is very very inconvenient, especially for the older generation. Still, the metro is nearby, otherwise taxi drivers charge more in the city than you arrive by train.
There is a security check at the entrance, which I think is correct.There are comfortable waiting rooms, a clean toilet and a large information board. There is a coffee machine, a pharmacy and shops on site.
It is unclear the approach, about the knives [baki], the older ones, probably can be carried at least with themselves or in a bag. What kind of threat should I see ???. Then you walk around the car, asking for a knife to cut the meat.
One of the "advantages" is the location of the station in the city, which means that it is relatively easy to get to. But parking lots are a problem. The station building is not bad, but you need your own style - the style of the city beloved by many Kazakhstanis.
It's just an old Soviet railway station. With their own smells. The toilet could have already been made more adequate, but toilets are probably the most difficult thing for us. We don't want to let go of the "comforts" of the last century in any way
You just can't get here there is no zone for disembarking passengers at all, plus a million cameras, but buses and trolleybuses have a dedicated lane, as if people only drive to the station on them and not by cars and taxis, especially when they are late, there are also few comfortable seats inside, like the waiting room, everyone is standing on the platform and they are all scared away by the welcoming conductor, and so on but the main thing is the drop-off and landing area on the street
The beautiful train station is clean everywhere, I really liked it.the staff is very polite, the parking lot nearby is very convenient, the ticket office is clean, well done, there is no queue at the ticket office.
An old but good train station, the staff is responsive, the guards are kind. The girls from the help desk are very kind, they will definitely help, they are very attentive!
I put 1 star only for the cashier's employees. It's just a nightmare, there are 1 maximum of two ticket offices, and the queue moves 1-2 people per hour! It is not clear at all what they are doing, they are very rude, they needed a boarding pass, they did not wait for their turn, they had to go to the Almaty 1 railway station.
An old and tortured train station, but there is something about it, childhood is remembered.
But the main problem is traffic jams at the train station and a terrible lack of parking
The talgos are good now, but the prices bite very much, and the old vogons were rolled up, although they are, although the last time I went to Almaty Novosibirsk, I noticed that the coupe was very clean and the windows were new, but there is not enough restaurant for such a long distance.

The building is very old, the parking is not convenient, without repairs it would be better to demolish and build a newer building with a good hall, more comfortable seats and good staff !
In general, the station is not big, but everything needs to be eaten. The platforms are already outdated, apparently there is no money for this! There is a waiting room, drinking coffee is not a problem. There is a grocery store, an exchange rate, and the exchange rate is good, it is profitable to change unlike the city!
Sometimes there are stampedes, but in general the station is not bad. I was lucky to be there, to leave with a small number of people, I used the luggage room, I was satisfied.
The station is equipped with everything necessary. There is an electronic scoreboard, the information is provided in full. The exit to the platform and boarding the train are convenient.
An ordinary railway station)A little fuss like everywhere else, a little noise) As it is, everything is fine! There is a waiting room where you can wait for your train, and if you don't want to wait in the interior, you can get out into the fresh air)There are also benches for waiting outside
The station needs some kind of update, after all, for such a city it does not look particularly presentable, but everything you need works, there is a currency fraud and a multi-day storage chamber at the station
Disadvantages: everything is done, but somehow not in a masterly way, trading on the platform, not organized everything, would make trays for trading in the same style. Taxi drivers are not organized like everywhere else in Kazakhstan and there are many such things... not for people
The terrible public building is Almaty 2 and Almaty 1 Railway station, the toilets are blowing, they probably haven't done repairs inside for 30-40 years, probably. And this is our face of the city, how many visiting tourists come, including foreign ones!!! As the theater begins with a hanger, so the city begins with railway stations and airports!!!
There are four platforms, the station is not large, but it copes with the flow of passengers, as they say, there is a little bit of everything, there is a toilet , a luggage room, a waiting room, kiosks for newspapers and souvenirs, ticket sales offices , a help desk, a restaurant
It couldn't be worse! There are no taxi stops for disembarking passengers, the fare to the train station is terrible! There is a traffic jam even where the entrance to the station is due to the fact that one row was left for cars. "Brilliant"
There is parking, there is a waiting room, luggage storage, a free toilet, there are kiosks with low prices, there are no queues. There is a park near the station.
