What are the Train Classes & Prices of Uzbekistan Railways?
Depending on the length of your trip and your preferences you can choose a first or second class ticket in a sleeper coach for an overnight trip or opt for a hard or soft seat if available. Note that the choice of ticket classes depends both on the route and the length of your trip. Basically, your train may feature first class berths but you will not be able to book one if you are doing just a short two-hour stretch. In general, second class berths are a good choice for longer trips, and soft seats get you covered if your train ride is supposed to take under 4-5 hours.
Pros & Cons of Train Travel
Pros of Train Travel
- The best thing about railway travel is no traffic jams. Even on rush-hour, long weekends or during the high season
- An easy online booking process – you do not need to go to the railway station, which was the case in many places not so long ago!
- Prices for train tickets are usually more affordable compared to airplane tickets yet for certain destinations and trips the total travel time can be almost the same
- While rail travel is obviously slower than air travel, railway stations are often located in the centre of the city which saves you a sack of time getting to/from there while airports are almost always are quite a long way out of the city
- Travelling by night allows you to save on a hotel room and sleep well at the same time – opposite to a night bus where even the sleeping class is a huge compromise
- On certain routes luxury service is available
Cons of Train Travel
- For longer trips a train ride is definitely more time consuming than air journeys
- Trains do ride on schedule but being out of schedule is not unheard of for train travel – and delays can be huge, so if you are planning a connection to your flight, carefully check the time your train arrives at the station and think twice.
- Cleanliness is sometimes an issue with second and third class tickets, and with toilets, too.
- If your train makes a lot of stops, in some cases it is difficult to figure out when to get off as stops are not always clearly announced or marked with the exception of an electronic screen.

Zyad YThe AC on the train is weak in the middle of summer heat in Uzbekistan. It didn't even start until like 30 minutes after the train moved. It stopped completely at every station because it only works when the wheels move. The cabins at stations turn to be like a sauna.
Also there is no Wi-FI which is a shame for first class tickets.
There is no proper service of any kind on the train (no food - no drinks - nothing).

Denise HI am very disappointed with my experience. I purchased train tickets for a service that never operated. This was not due to a last-minute cancellation or an unexpected disruption; the train had been removed from the schedule well in advance, yet the website continued to sell tickets for it.
What made the situation even more frustrating was that multiple tourists were affected, and everyone I spoke to had booked through the same website. This indicates that the schedule information on the website was not being kept up to date, resulting in unnecessary stress and disrupted travel plans.
I hope the company improves its systems to ensure that outdated schedules are promptly removed and that future travellers do not experience the same inconvenience.

At the train station, the people brought us to a seperate place for "first class ticket booker" which was quite a little bit awkward. But everyone was kind and they brought us to the train as well, when it arrived. We had a Clean and tidy room at the train and the food From the Restaurant was pretty okay! We had a great travel and are Happy to use the train in a few days again to come Back to Taschkent.
