All services are working, there are no complaints at all, there is a luggage room, a canteen, a pharmacy and a currency exchange, but everything is already pretty old. In a city like this, it would be nice to have a more modern train station
The old one needs repair, everything from the USSR is worth it, everything needs to be radically changed from employees to superiors, control is very weak and there is no parking, everything needs to be done again.
Parking is quite convenient 100 tenge , inside the station there is everything and ATMs and food and even a dining room . The only thing is that Talogo is always late
He was here. When I was passing through security, passing things through the "scanner ", the guard saw a camping folding knife in the backpack. They asked to see him, and then they took him to the security room. Where they said that the knife would be seized and sent for verification, "And whether it is a cold weapon.".. But then, in the inspection room, the police (one in civilian uniform), unequivocally hinted that they would turn a blind eye to this if I paid them (gave them a bribe). They asked for a large amount of 50,000 tenge ...
I ask you to draw the attention of the relevant authorities to this, conduct an inspection and investigative actions. To bring to justice the persons who extort money.
Comfort is certainly not enough for this station, as well as comfortable seats for the waiting room. The function of scrolling luggage through an X-ray is especially unclear if no one is even looking at the monitor.
It 's a shame for the state 🥲 the not neat and gray train station on the 50x50 platform is selling apples , the bridge over the tracks that was built in the USSR also wants the best

1. The ugliest system of supply of rolling stock at the railway station of Almaty. This applies to the branded Talgo train, the Almaty-Astana service. The composition (already for one year) is fundamentally served for 4 (!!!) - the farthest way!
And - this is a priority metropolitan area is being developed! People are forced to cross as many as 3 tracks with bags and trunks to get to the 4th railway track!! It's completely absurd! At the same time, the 1st and 2nd paths are free!
An ill-conceived scheme of entrance and Parking for those who meet and greet. Considering that Sergek cameras are installed precisely in places where problems with departure and arrival are created with the slightest increase in the flow of arriving and departing passengers and mourners, the ultimate goal of installing Sergek cameras becomes clear. And this is not safety and convenience for people. An ordinary, well-established feeder for dishonest officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
It is not convenient to go up to the crossing with suitcases. We waited for a taxi for a long time, there was no convenient access to the station, traffic jams
The view at the exit from the train station upon arrival is amazing! The building itself is cramped and old. And there are frequent delays at the Kazakh railways
The architecture of the building, the forecourt, the square, the first impressions of those who came to the Southern capital.
Luggage, gifts, souvenirs, photos and videos-that's what those leaving take with them.
The station is a place of meetings and goodbyes, with wishes for a successful journey.
The old station building is almost in the center of the city. Not every train gets to this station, right into the city. Most trains have a final stop at Almaty-1 railway station, almost on the northern outskirts of the city.
Upgrade the entire train fleet, reconstruct the railway tracks, and finally change the consciousness and understanding of railway transportation at the international level!
The location is excellent, convenient in the city, the staff is good,the repair in the building is good, the toilets are clean, there is no smell, the ticket offices are convenient, there was no queue, the platform is also convenient.
The train station is good, but:
There is no Wi-Fi, think in advance how you will order a taxi if there is no local SIM card;
There are no underpasses to get to the second or other tracks, you go either overground or over rails.
One of the advantages is a convenient location, there is a lot of public transport and the entrance for cars is conveniently thought out, everyone drives up in turn and disembarks passengers.
Beautiful city, beautiful mountains. But it is very difficult to get around either by bus or by car. More metro
is needed, the city needs to be unloaded. You only manage to go to two or three places in a day and that's it.
The station looks very sad
But the worst thing is that there are no normal crossings between platforms...
people have to jump on rails with bags and suitcases... 21st century however
Parking is bad, there is nowhere to stand, there are prohibition signs everywhere. The prices for the allocated parking are unrealistic. Very expensive. Because of this, it is a problem to meet guests
All my childhood and the upcoming train journey began from this very station, I adored it... But I'm 37 years old now and almost nothing has changed there..... The exterior area in front of the station as a whole does not look bad, But as for the internal infrastructure, this is the Stone Age, try to get to the train on the second track ..... if the first track is occupied, and also with a stroller, for example...... It is elementary for so many years of independence, I cannot somehow concretize the ramps so that I can get to the second way ...... I do not know for the most densely populated city of the republic to have such a train station.... It's depressing....
It looks beautiful, but it's cramped and stuffy inside. There are few places for those waiting. Impolite staff at the ticket offices and information desk.
Of course, the Almaty railway station cannot be compared with the railway station and Europe, but it would be possible to focus a little on the service). And so, the station is relatively good, but Astana station is inferior at times.
The trains are late, the staff do not know anything, at first one arrival time is lit 10 minutes before arrival, it was changed an hour later, then another half hour was changed later. As always, sharash office - Temir zholy is just a big name! 21st century, planes and cars can be tracked in real time, but Temir Zhola has everything classified as secret!!!
The biggest complaint to Almaty 2 train station is the exit with suitcases on 2,3,4 tracks, I am a 53-year-old woman carrying suitcases across this bridge, and helping my mother, who is 75 years old, was just a test for my spine and my mother's sick knee joints!More often I choose trains where there is an exit to Almaty 1, at least there is a normal transition along the escalator.So do something already
