Starting from August 16, Tashkent Central Station (North Station) will reopen its doors to passengers after the completion of track reconstruction. The modernization of the railway infrastructure, which took place from July 15 to August 15, has been successfully completed, and now train services are returning to their normal schedule.
What has changed?
During the reconstruction period, all passenger trains that usually departed from Tashkent Central Station were temporarily redirected to the South Station. This temporary change affected both local and long-distance routes. From August 16, all trains will once again depart from Tashkent Central Station, which will significantly improve access to railway transport for residents and visitors of the capital.
Which routes are returning to Tashkent Central Station?
The following trains are returning to Tashkent Central Station:
- High-speed “Afrosiyob” trains;
- Express trains “Sharq”, “Nasaf”, and “O‘zbekiston”;
- The international route train “Tashkent — Volgograd — Tashkent”.
Changes for long-distance routes
Despite the reopening of Tashkent Central Station, trains heading to Khodjikent, Gulistan, Angren, Khavast, and Bekabad will depart from the South Station. This decision was made to optimize traffic and improve the logistics of passenger transportation.
The resumption of operations at Tashkent Central Station after reconstruction is a significant event for the entire railway system of Uzbekistan. This will not only improve the quality of passenger service but also increase the station’s capacity, ensuring more comfortable travel conditions.
