The Ankara to Batman route is served primarily by the Eastern Express and the Vangölü Express trains. The Eastern Express, known for its scenic journey through the Anatolian landscape, operates at speeds of up to 80 km/h (50 mph) and takes approximately 24 hours to complete the journey. It provides comfortable seating but is known more for its picturesque views than high speed. On the other hand, the Vangölü Express, which travels between Ankara and Batman, also offers a slower pace with speeds around 100 km/h (62 mph) and takes about 30 hours for the full route while making several stops in smaller towns along the way. While neither train is classified as high-speed, they both offer unique experiences, with the Eastern Express being popular for travelers interested in leisurely travel through Turkey's diverse landscapes, while the Vangölü Express is favored for those who wish to explore regional connections.
