Visiting Erzincan

Erzincan is a railway city in eastern Turkey on the main conventional corridor between Central Anatolia and the far northeast. The city has one principal passenger train station, Erzincan Gar, and services are operated by TCDD Tasimacilik. Its rail role is shaped by the Ankara - Kars axis, which links Erzincan with Sivas, Erzurum, and the wider Turkish State Railways network. Trains from Erzincan include long-distance conventional services such as the Dogu Ekspresi, known in English as the Eastern Express, plus regional trains serving nearby provinces. Erzincan Gar handles intercity passenger trains, regional departures, and through services crossing eastern Anatolia. High-speed trains do not currently serve Erzincan, so long-distance travel uses conventional rail routes with reserved seats or sleeper options on selected services. Rail routes from Erzincan run west toward Sivas, Kayseri, and Ankara, east toward Erzurum and Kars, and along regional sections through Divrigi and towns in the upper Euphrates area. Train tickets are useful for travel across inland Turkey where rail offers direct city-to-city links. Book trains from and to Erzincan online at Rail Monsters.

Erzincan Train Travel FAQ and Tips

What is the main train route from Erzincan?

The main train route from Erzincan is the TCDD Tasimacilik Eastern Express corridor between Ankara and Kars. From Erzincan, the train reaches Ankara in roughly 15 to 16 hours depending on the timetable and operating conditions. The same route runs east toward Erzurum and Kars, using conventional rail rather than high-speed tracks, with reserved seating and sleeper accommodation available on selected services.

How do I buy train tickets to and from Erzincan?

You can buy train tickets to and from Erzincan on Rail Monsters by entering your route, choosing the travel date, and selecting available TCDD Tasimacilik services. Rail Monsters accepts bookings 6 to 12 months ahead of travel for Erzincan services, which helps for holiday periods and limited sleeper space. After payment, booking confirmation and ticket details are sent electronically where applicable.

Do high-speed trains serve Erzincan?

No. High-speed trains do not currently serve Erzincan. Passenger rail in Erzincan is based on conventional TCDD Tasimacilik services, including long-distance trains on the Ankara - Kars corridor and regional trains on nearby sections. Travelers connecting from high-speed rail routes generally transfer at larger hubs such as Ankara or Sivas, then continue east by conventional intercity train toward Erzincan Gar.

What is the main train station in Erzincan?

The main train station is Erzincan Gar. It handles TCDD Tasimacilik long-distance trains on the east-west rail corridor across Anatolia and regional services serving Erzincan province and neighboring areas. The station is the correct rail point for Eastern Express passengers, intercity trips toward Ankara and Kars, and regional travel toward places such as Divrigi or Erzurum when services are scheduled.

Should I reserve seats on trains from Erzincan?

Seat reservations are used on long-distance TCDD Tasimacilik trains from Erzincan, including Eastern Express services. Sleeper and couchette spaces are limited and should be booked early when available. Regional trains may have simpler ticketing and fewer accommodation options, depending on the service. For overnight travel across eastern Turkey, check the exact train type before booking so the ticket matches the seat or berth you need.

Can I buy Erzincan train tickets at the last minute?

Last-minute tickets for regional trains from Erzincan may be available, but long-distance seats, sleepers, and couchettes on the Eastern Express can sell out during summer travel, public holidays, Ramadan Bayram, and Kurban Bayram. Rail Monsters accepts Erzincan train bookings 6 to 12 months ahead of travel, so early booking is recommended for overnight trains and peak-period travel across eastern Turkey.

Is there an airport train in Erzincan?

There is no dedicated airport rail link from Erzincan Gar to Erzincan Yildirim Akbulut Airport. Rail passengers use Erzincan Gar for intercity and regional trains, then transfer between the station and airport by road transport arranged locally. For rail-air combinations in Turkey, larger hubs such as Ankara provide more onward rail choices before travelers continue by conventional train toward Erzincan.

What are the main train connections to and from Erzincan?

Erzincan connects west to Ankara in about 15 to 16 hours by Eastern Express, Sivas in around 6 hours, Kayseri in roughly 10 hours, and Divrigi in about 3 hours depending on train type.
