Visiting Sivas

Sivas is a key rail hub in central Turkey, positioned where the Ankara-Sivas high-speed line meets conventional east-west routes across Anatolia. The city has one main passenger train station, Sivas Gar, and services are operated by TCDD Tasimacilik. Its rail role is important because Sivas links the high-speed corridor from Ankara with long-distance lines toward eastern Turkey. Trains from Sivas include YHT high-speed services on the Ankara corridor, long-distance conventional trains across Anatolia, and regional services serving nearby provincial centers. Sivas Gar is the main train station for both high-speed and conventional departures, so most passengers use the same station for intercity, regional, and overnight-style long-distance trains. Rail routes from Sivas run west toward Yozgat, Kirikkale, Ankara, Eskisehir, and Istanbul, south toward Kayseri, and east toward Erzincan, Erzurum, and Kars on the conventional network.

Should I reserve seats on trains from Sivas?

YHT high-speed trains from Sivas use reserved seating, so passengers should book a specific train and seat before travel. Long-distance conventional trains may also require reservations, especially for sleeping cars, couchettes, or named express services.
