To get on one train, I had to completely bypass the other, there is no underground or aboveground passage between the tracks.
In front of the train station, cars stop right on the road, blocking each other's path, there is no normal parking.
the old train station went to the third track With a suitcase and two travel bags, we crossed the bridge. We live in the 21st century and such a station with such conditions Does not have at least ramps on the side for suitcase wheels

The joy of traveling and the happiness of returning. A train station is a train station! However, I would like to have updates and modern amenities at the train stations.
It's time to rebuild the new station. This one has been standing for 2 centuries! It's pouring all over. The toilets are terrible, there is dirt and unsanitary conditions everywhere!
On the technical side, the railway platform, etc., everything is Soviet, the station is average, it is inconvenient to go to the station from the second way, especially for the elderly and disabled
For me, this is the train station of my childhood! True, it was heavily rebuilt, but I like this station. They check at the entrance through a scanner, but this is a trend of the time, but it is convenient to see off and meet guests, there is a lot of public transport and there are trading houses. But the truth is, there is no such highlight, although this station is a monument to history....
There is always a problem to drop people off or meet a normal entrance, there is no way for a calm person to drive up, drop people off or meet around only signs stop Parking is prohibited and I will not tell about the building itself and the staff
The poor condition of the building, it's a shame to see these broken walls and sliding paint in other parts except the main entrance. Although there may still be repairs
The place is beautiful, but the service wants the best. I was sitting when there was an interesting announcement in the waiting room, some train is delayed for 5 hours, we apologize))) 5 o'clock is a delay.
It's dirty. It is unclear what the luggage scanner is for, almost no one checks the luggage. The old Soviet railway station is a crowd of people and no conditions.
During repairs / restoration, it is necessary to be as attentive as possible on the issue of preserving the historical appearance of the Almaty-2 railway station
The Mayor's Office of the city needs to take measures to eliminate traffic jams on the forecourt, especially during the arrival of trains, very ill-conceived location and logistics, people walk with suitcases and bags from Raimbek Avenue. Homeless people spend the night on the benches of the square, the mirror of the city station , a very negative reaction after visiting the Almaty 2 station, a disgrace to the city administration.
They made a bus lane, separated the road and it became impossible for a simpleton to get there at all, constant congestion, traffic jam, not to drive up to the main entrance at all.I do not advise you to drive up there, it is better to stay away.ei unload.
I was on Alma Ata 2. the platform is clean, inside the station is also clean.there is a metro nearby, there are also many taxis, it is not a problem to leave in any direction. There are practically no queues at the ticket office, because now everything is available via the Internet.
There is a hostel on the second floor, which is very decent, there is really nowhere to eat, but when entering the city on the right side there is a decent dining room.
There is one big drawback, to go to the 2nd and 3rd paths you need to climb the stairs with luggage, it's the 21st century, why haven't they built a modern railway crossing and descent yet-we'll go up the escalator, it's comfortable and safe!
The station building is in good condition, clean, there were not many people in the building. Several taxi drivers offering a ride. There is poor lighting in places. In general, the impression was good.
The scoreboard with the schedule did not work. It is impossible to enter the toilet, it stinks as if it is never cleaned.
It is too bad that there is no free Wi-Fi at railway stations in Kazakhstan. There is a free portal with movies, music and other things, but it is much more important for visitors to send a message home than to entertain themselves, so at least access to messengers is necessary.
