From September 8, 2023, high-speed passenger trains of the Absheron Ring Railway Line will run according to the updated schedule.
At the same time, for the first time, a special schedule for non-working days was developed taking into account the wishes of passengers. According to the new schedule, the interval between trains was reduced, and eight additional trips were scheduled.
Changes in the schedule will make it possible to evenly distribute the density of passenger traffic on trains, significantly reduce the possibility of queues near turnstiles, and carry more passengers during the day.
"Azerbaijan Railways is planning additional measures to further improve the quality of service in the field of passenger transportation. The delivery of 10 new high-speed passenger trains to the country at the end of this year - beginning of next year will seriously contribute to the launch of additional flights on the Absheron ring railway line," the company said.
