The Kussarayi to Elazığ route is serviced primarily by the regional train services, including the TCDD Taşımacılık trains. These trains operate at speeds of up to 120 km/h (75 mph). The journey typically takes around 4 to 5 hours, making a few stops at local stations along the way, which can add to the overall travel time. Unlike high-speed services available on some other routes in Turkey, this particular route focuses on connecting smaller towns to larger cities rather than offering high-speed travel. While the TCDD service may not match the speed of high-speed trains like the YHT (Yüksek Hızlı Tren), it provides a vital connection for travelers looking to explore the region. The onboard experience includes comfortable seating, basic amenities, and the opportunity to enjoy the scenic landscapes of eastern Turkey during the journey.
