The Balikesir to Ankara route is serviced by the Ankara Express and the High-Speed Train, offering different travel experiences for passengers. The Ankara Express is a traditional train that runs at speeds of up to 140 km/h (87 mph) and covers the distance in approximately 8 to 9 hours, making several stops along the way in cities like Eskisehir and Kütahya. In contrast, the High-Speed Train operates at speeds reaching 250 km/h (155 mph) and completes the journey in around 4 to 5 hours, with fewer stops, ensuring a quicker arrival in the capital. Passengers on both services can choose from various seating options, with the High-Speed Train providing a more modern travel experience, including spacious seating and onboard refreshments. While the Ankara Express may appeal to those wanting a scenic route with more stops, the High-Speed Train is best for those prioritizing a shorter travel time.
