Such a shame. The capital of Kazakhstan to have such train station where is no a single facility for people with disabilities. There are no facilities for all people. Cafes are in such antisanitarian conditionsm. Cold. Freaking cold inside. 🥶 entrance stairs are broken and again how to get the suitcase up. No facilities. Shame.
The old Astana railway Station, like a good old and reliable friend who will never let you down, still greets and accompanies its passengers. A well-known, quite comfortable and conveniently located train station in the city. It may not have an ultramodern architecture, and does not correspond to someone's ambition, status or prestige, but all the needs of passengers are met here. In addition, it is easy to get to any point of Astana by public transport from this station. There is also a bus station here, on the forecourt, which is also very convenient for many passengers.
It's coolly big, there's everything, rest rooms,! for the disabled for free, cafes, canteens, everything is delicious, hot, the police are decent, conscientious, responsive, a medical office where they will help you, Guys. The railway station provides assistance in moving,from the train, to the station itself, for the disabled, hello everyone, good luck, I am disabled, Irina Yasyuk, and hello to the conductors
It's a great train station, I used to take a taxi from there to Pavlodar. Buses run very conveniently. There is a large dining room in the old station building. Who knows who was there. Everything is delicious. In general, it's a great old train station with its own mood when you go somewhere or come to Astana
The first railway station that appeared in Astana. There are trains of the old format, as well as of the new format, high-speed ones. It's a good place. If there are no train tickets, there is a bus station nearby, which is very convenient. You can go to the desired city by train or bus. The prices are reasonable in some areas. And there is a little more expensive. It depends on the season and the filling of wagons and fares.
There is something to compare it with. Astana railway station is many times better than in Almaty! It's bigger, cleaner, there are a lot of crossings on the way, and not like in Almaty we ran along the tracks, in our time, it's just terrible. The staff is more polite, there is more range of catering services, kiosks.
I travel very often, so I assess it adequately. The square in front of the station is not well maintained, the stairs are broken. There is only one ramp for passengers to enter in a wheelchair or with heavy suitcases. I have to take these suitcases up the stairs. Escalators are constantly breaking down. Again - where are the ramps if it doesn't work
An escalator? The roof is flowing all over the station. In the rain, there are cans and buckets everywhere around the station - they collect water. Sometimes train stations look better in small towns. And here is the capital and such a disgrace.
We arrived in Astana for the first time and immediately went to the railway station. The architecture of the building is very beautiful, I liked the courtesy and courtesy of the staff, very well-developed infrastructure.
It's beautiful to have a good place to eat,(around the clock) but it's expensive and the seats are not very comfortable in the waiting room, and we had to sit waiting for a transfer for more than 3 hours, and the toilet is not very
An ordinary railway station of the era of "developed socialism", starting from the forecourt, sometimes spat on and with holes in the paving stones. Of particular note is the low level of compliance with sanitary and hygienic standards in the M. T. on the 2nd floor. Well, in general, poor ventilation and air conditioning spoil the impression, especially in summer. The staff is polite and performs its functions on 4+.
Astana residents call this place the old railway station. The entrance gates of the capital require a good manager. So far, there is a feeling of comfort, mess and lack of control (the escalator often does not work in the transition to the 2-3 way - according to the law of meanness, usually on a holiday when passenger traffic increases. People are dragging suitcases up the narrow stairs and then down to the platform. You can also go through the lower underpass, but an escalator has never been provided there. There are a couple of points where you can charge a cell phone, but half of them work with sockets. USB is not connected to anything - it's just a trick. People are traveling in transit - nowhere without a cell phone today. Why are there so few charging points (20 pcs for the entire station)? At the entrance, there is a check through the metal detector frame (OK, security), where they offer to put your bags on a dirty tape, although there are containers for bags, but they will not give them to you - the station staff is just too lazy to do it. There are few seats - the station is crowded with passengers, so most of the trains pass through the old station. Although the new station is much more modern and comfortable. In general, sadness is an unpleasant place (
For some reason, I like this particular station more, perhaps the habit of leaving and returning to my hometown since childhood.But the station and Peron are always perfectly clean, polite, smiling employees.Convenient parking, bus and taxi stops.
Our beautiful right bank train station, I like the new talgo trains, the station itself is clean, all employees will answer your question and tell you how to find any department quickly
In my opinion, the railway station is very beautiful, although it is old, as they say, but everything is wonderful there, the staff is friendly, Parking is paid, but quite a good repair, the normal location in the city is just wonderful.
The platform is convenient. Is there a lot of places to eat?
The railway station is the place where the pulse of urban life meets. Here, every sound, every movement creates an atmosphere of unhurried movement and possible adventures. Modern design, friendly staff and well—established railway connections create the impression that you are part of a great and exciting journey. A great place to start new adventures!
It has become much better, although the escalators to the exit on the way do not always work. There are many shops, coffee shops, even massage chairs. There is no jostling, crowding. Everyone is polite and careful. The scoreboard is all working. Thank you.
My assessment is based on my impressions. It is clear that the station is old.... But why is there nothing being done to improve and make it attractive? This greyness, greasiness, not being washed, but being washed out. Ugly billboards. It is clear that it is small in comparison with Nurly Zhol and it is even impossible to compare it with a new modern railway station, BUT... It is possible to renovate, THIS IS THE CAPITAL.
Nutrition zones deserve special negativity. It's dangerous to eat something there. Who controls it? Probably there is, but everyone who turns there has their own advantage. The shock is the toilets.
The employees are great, they do their job in this horror of a professional space.
A cool train station, you can come and order a ticket at the free ticket office, which is the leftmost with a disabled sign, and there you will be put in line and they will look for a ticket for you for free, and as soon as they find you, they will send you an SMS and you must come and buy within 2 hours. I used this service myself on July 15, 2024, there were no tickets, but it was necessary I went to Kostanay on July 16 and they found me and I left, thank them very much. And while I was waiting in line for 2 hours, I wanted to eat and use the Tashkent cafe , it is located to the left of the main entrance, they cook delicious food , the portions are large and inexpensive and a large selection of dishes.
The station is quiet, without fuss, except during boarding and arrival of the train, it is natural, clean, adequate staff, bathrooms are cleaned according to schedule. There is a zone for charging gadgets. There is no queue at the ticket offices, apparently mostly tickets are purchased online. Of the cons: printed products are very expensive, as well as shops. I understand that the kiosks belong to private owners, respectively, they dictate prices.
The old railway station is very compact, small, and convenient. It has a luggage room, rest rooms and even a room for people with disabilities. The staff is excellent, they calmly give all the necessary information (advice).
The station is old, but it's good that there are two of them in Astana. Someone is more comfortable here. To go on the road or to arrive here. It is quite convenient, in the best traditions of the old railway stations. Of course, it's inconvenient to carry suitcases up stairs, but... It is good that there is an alternative in the form of a new train station. There are bus stops to all areas of the city. Taxi drivers will immediately take you into circulation. Bargain. Or use Yandex.Taxi, it's more reliable
The railway station is not big today, there are few benches for waiting, for some reason the prices are too high both for tickets and in cafes. The station staff is polite and attentive. It is inconvenient to arrive by taxi, because the entrance to the train station is paid. Taxi drivers leave passengers not far from the bus stop.
I like the old station, small kiosks, a good dining room, a relatively small cozy station, everything is close at hand, not that the new gray is not cozy, getting to the new one by taxi costs more than a train ticket to any city in Kazakhstan, I travel a lot, I know the old station
The station is normal, ordinary, has everything you need. It's a little dirty on the platform, long-term dust, and it would be nice to have more benches, otherwise our train was late, and we had already left the waiting room, there was no point in going back through the frame again with luggage, and so many passengers were standing waiting for the train. Although there are probably regulations for the placement of seats on the platform.
Astana railway Station1, small capacity for those awaiting shipment.
Do not take a taxi on the territory, taxi drivers break the price 2-3 times more, it is better to step aside (to the right if the station is behind you) from the station and call Yandex there is a normal parking.
I thought I would not write a review, but a tribute to the time itself and I ask you to take a photo of the zone when they are doing repairs. There are so many people saying goodbye and meeting that such events need to be photographed and left as a souvenir.
The station is old, there are few places, the bathrooms are so-so. There is a luggage room. You can have a snack, but you don't need to. Nearby there is a bus station and a canteen, hostels.
In general, the impression of "dullness" and dampness. Not the level of the capital. I want to feel more light and warmth. The 21st century is in the yard. Then what to expect from the stations of small stations. Perhaps other significant projects of the city have "sucked out" the budget and there is not enough for the station. Although the appearance, and even from some distance, pulls on the 4th
The type of organization, cleanliness, work of all departments ~ at the highest level! Because they are performers!
And about the cost of tickets and the lack of cars in winter ~ these complaints are direct to the management!
I estimate superficially, because I did not sit in the station building for a long time, the station building does not correspond to the city, it has not been completely renovated, there are many broken paving slabs on the forecourt. Cafes also do not correspond to the city, although the prices there are affordable.
Hello, I liked everything, thank you very much to the sellers for their help, I am very pleased to the sellers, I recommend all very good employees, polite staff, I recommend everyone
The station is not impressive in its metropolitan area, but the attitude of the staff and employees of the railway station is on top! Paying attention to passengers first of all. It's not the first time I've been here, and the feeling of spiritual, human warmth is invariable.
I moved out of the area many years ago. And I haven't been to the train station for several years. But just recently I went there from the other side of the city to show my youngest son the trains and the railway. The station is in a deplorable state. Please fix it! Such wonderful, responsive people work there! Yes, he's old, but that's what he's famous for. The classic right bank does not need Nurly Zhol. I'm not saying it shouldn't be there, but the old train station is history, and it's still the life of many people. Stripped, with the skin torn off, with rusty streaks, is it really impossible to fix it? The people working there are wonderful, from barmaids and cleaners to cashiers and machinists. I came to show my son the train, and one just arrived. We entered the train station, where it is clean, calm, and everything is as usual. Together with the crowd of those leaving, they squeezed onto the platform. Bags are checked at the entrance through an X-ray. The train was stopping. We headed for the head. Station staff and police were on duty on the platform. After standing for the prescribed time, the train started moving. We conducted it, and almost reached the aboveground crossing to the sawmill. But it was cold, so we decided to go back and go to the 2nd and 3rd tracks through the closed passage at the station. After passing the first escalator, they entered into a dialogue with the woman on duty, who directed passengers to the arriving train. She suggested that for the sake of pleasure, on certain routes you can drive from the old railway station to Nurly Zhol. Later, when I came to the cashier, I ran into another friendly woman who told us the schedule and the price. About 200 tg in total. After going down to the train, we also met a wonderful conductor, who offered to go inside the car with the child during the parking lot, because he was wildly interested. We talked, saw her off, too, and returned to the train station. We ate the buns, and left very pleased with our excursion, taking note of the trip on the Atbasar train. The emotional impressions are pleasant. Not a single negative one. Except for the strange men in the waiting room on the second floor, who closely watched all the people, but did not commit any illegal actions. Everything is simple there. There is also real human goodness, without hypocrisy. There is an external repair to be done. And save this train station.
Everything is cool! But I still don't know my way around!)) It's good that there are pointers! It's cold, draughty, but beautiful and comfortable! There is a PSC, parking, boutiques, cafes, etc., which is very convenient for transit passengers!
Repairs are needed. Renovate the facade and change the benches in the waiting room. As it is, navigation is more convenient here compared to the new station.
The train station is a disappointment, the escalator did not work, there are no ramps (!!!), people rushed to the 2nd and 3rd paths with bags, with children, through tunnels, through the 2nd floor, posing a threat to safety. The situation is the same at Almaty 1 train station. And these are the capitals of the country!!!
Frequent repairs, roads need to be repaired, the condition of the station itself is satisfactory, I would like it better, however, due to the presence of a new station, people come here less often
The big train station is new and convenient, everything is there to eat, the Internet was in summer, the air conditioning worked well, there is a luggage storage. Convenient access to the platforms
A great train station. There is a place to eat, sleep, and a good playground. A children's steam train rides around the station. The station is new, clean, well-maintained..
A small building, clean. Surprisingly fast service at the ticket offices and the absence of a huge number of people at the same time. Which indicates the correct organization of the process.
A good popular railway station in Kazakhstan.
Transit routes run through the station.
A little confusing. But equipped with escalators.
There is a catering service
Cash desks of KTZ and other agencies.
Tickets are more expensive in agencies.
