The station is normal, everything you need is there, a Soviet-style building, there is a place to eat, there are grocery stores, there is a luggage storage. It is intuitively clear what is where
An inconvenient old train station. N Constant traffic jams in front of the train station. The entrance to the train station is not thought out. "Thank you" to Baibek! On the 2nd and 3rd way you have to go through the rails. The 21st century is in the yard, you can do everything FOR people!
Parking is on the left, there is a toilet, the platforms are not very convenient, the staff is normal, the repair is so-so, it can be better. A taxi takes you right to the entrance
It will be interesting for those arriving. If you are visiting Uzbekistan for the first time, take your time. There is no place to exchange money at the train station, the exchange rate is bad. It is better to change a small amount on the train (1-2 thousand rubles), this is enough to buy a SIM card and pay for a taxi, if necessary. If you rent an apartment, ask the owner better if he can change rubles for you, it will often be much more profitable than money changers and an automatic robbery exchanger at the train station with a huge commission and a disgusting exchange rate and definitely better than exchangers in all banks. Taxi drivers are touts - right past. They just openly get impudent, for a trifling trip of 20 minutes - 1000 rubles. (120-140000 sums). It is better to take the metro (10 rubles a trip) closer to your location, and then catch a taxi. When you buy a SIM card, carefully read the tariffs, the sellers are cheating - they are using a desyat card, tarif 15, packet7 here, a total of 65,000. This is about the topic. Even representatives of the legal department and cashiers speak Russian with difficulty. 60 percent of people will understand you, but they will be able to give feedback, God forbid if 30 percent are local. Speaking English is an even worse idea. Be careful on unregulated pedestrian lanes - drivers do not let anyone pass, from the word at all.
Well, unlike Kazakhstan, immediately accept the idea that you are not welcome here as an axiom. It's easier to navigate this way. I know that it's not really about the train station, but it's right on the case and useful for tourists. 🙌❤️
A mess like at the Airport, on the railway. Almaty 1 I don't know when they did what they thought about not stopping by, not turning around.
It is necessary to take akim for a ride in these places.
Maybe the brains will turn on if there is.
The building of the Almaty 2 railway station began to be built in 1936 according to the standard project "Kharkiv Transport Project", tied to the area by architects A. P. Galkin and M. Kudryavtsev. The construction was completed in 1939.
The building is an architectural monument of the 1930s, built in the style of classicism using constructivist elements.
The main entrance of the railway station, located along the central axis of the symmetrical structure, is accentuated by a monumental portal. The doorways are highlighted by a stained glass window located above them. On the frieze, above the arched window opening, there is a bas-relief with scenes of socialist labor.
A very beautiful monumental building! I advise you to take a look!
Oh, I was even at a loss where to start.
You really find yourself in Soviet times, despite the mobile department and the coffee shop. The scoreboard in the waiting room does not work, there are few seats for such a flow of passengers. Some of the racks with chairs are sagging or bent.
The employees of the information desk were positively impressed: patiently, without irritation, they repeated the information to each questioner from time to time. Special thanks to them!
Everything seems to be fine, but it is impossible to measure the pressure in the pharmacy, there is a tanometer, but as pharmoceft said, it does not work, then why did they put a non-working tanometer?
I recommend everyone to get on from the second station better, because there are always few people here and it is calm and clean.
The first station is always a mess.
The station is a provincial town, but not the largest city in the state. There is no decent cafe inside the building and there is no decent place where you can comfortably wait for a train. There's nothing to say about the bathroom - it's terrible!
This station would be good if it were located in the city of Taraz, but for the second capital of the republic to say that it is very bad is not to say anything.
In general, the station is excellent. I drove a Talgo on which it has been impossible for the last year, two to ride the service 0. It became dirty. Any kind of bed.+ I was always 2-3 hours late earlier, and in June I was already 6 hours late. 38 thousand tenge for two children + 1 adult, a lot, but alas, the service has become disgusting. I do not recommend it.
There is no parking. Unloading and loading of passengers takes place on the roadway. There are no underground or surface tunnels for crossings on the way. If there is a train on the first track, there is a train on the second, and your train was served on the 3,4 th track, then everyone, passengers with bagad, with children, go along the tracks, bypassing all trains. And this is extremely dangerous, and scary. In general, it is a very difficult station in terms of access level.
We arrived in the morning. Convenient train station. I was surprised that there were a lot of staff at the station, they whistled on the peron if people went over the yellow line. To board a taxi, there is a separate line of footpath in front of the station
You feel like a government house.
I saw my parents off in July of the 23rd year. The halls are very hot. And the toilets didn't work. I had to go to the next building
Parking problems
I don't know everything, we got off the train in the morning, and 2 days later we boarded the train. The toilet is clean and free. The security pass system works at the entrance to the train station.
The station for the capital is not empty, the seat is the same as in Almaty1 , Almaty2 is not taken into account for a person, it is very cold in the winter time of the day, they put mats in Almaty1, they are so dirty, they sit down squeamishly, the escalator often does not work, saleswomen with apples threaten people, how can you provide benches for them, after all, the capital
My favorite city, there are no such. He breathes his rhythm and his life. The one who lived there will understand what it is about.... Ya. The dream is to complete yourself there.
A small, cozy train station. Everything is clean, the staff is wonderful

The wine time is all asleep. The girl does not announce that the train is late, she was woken up, asked, scolded us for her concern. The train arrived on 08/25/24 , at 4:50 instead of 3:40
The station has changed for the better since the last visit. The only difficulty is parking near the train station. However, there were no problems literally in a quarter.
A mess. 15 cash registers only 2 state cash registers. The remaining 13 are private owners. And then of these 2 state, one accidentally does not work. Then at lunch, then busy, playing football.
There is no Wi-Fi, no working sockets.
And Almaty apples are not on every platform!)) I really wanted to take it to my mom. But there was no one on our platform, and it was no longer possible to get on the other one in time)
The state cash register does not work under any pretext, then the cashier says he does, in short, there are a hundred reasons and they drive people to private cash desks
