Iran Trains
There are always two options for those interested in travel and tourism: trains and aircraft. Each of these has unique features that people will like. However, train travel in Iran typically yields more pleasurable and enduring memories. This type of travel results in a family-friendly environment. There are great distances between the large cities in Iran due to the country's size. As a result, taking the train is a convenient way to connect places. The most recent data indicates that Iran has more than 13437 km of railway. The first railway in Iran was constructed from Tehran to the Shah Abdul Azim mausoleum in Rey. The French engineer who built this route did so in 1882.
Trans-Iranian Railway was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2021. A Diesel engine train, an Electric engine train, and an Express train are all part of the domestic Iranian Railway fleet. In Iran Railway's fleet, the first Diesel engine began running in 1957. Electric diesel engines from Hitachi, General Motors, and Alstom are currently in use. Trains are faster, more pleasant, safer, and more environmentally friendly than buses for long-distance travel. Of course, overnight trips let you spend more time exploring during the day and spend less money on lodging. The main challenge is that most Iranian trains are sold out far in advance, so you must plan your trip in advance and get tickets quickly. Make your reservations at least one month in advance to guarantee a seat for a holiday like Nowruz or Ashura. Since most trains are run by private businesses, their quality varies from one train to another. None is particularly bad, but the service is merely mediocre. High-speed trains often connect numerous locations. One of the services provided by Eavar is train ticket booking services throughout Iran. You can use this service to pre-book your desired train ticket for any destination you want and enjoy your journey with Iran's wonderful trains. If you plan to travel by train throughout Iran, you can visit the Iran train map to see your destination and the train route.
Iran Train Ticket Price
The train system is logical, safe, and somewhat quick. Many major cities are connected by railroads, even if certain districts are not. Intercity buses are faster, but trains are more commodious and safe. If you take the first-class train, you may lie down and relax. The price of a train ticket in Iran varies depending on the cities of departure and destination and the type of train, so a fixed price cannot be considered for it. Currently, purchasing your tickets in advance is required if you wish to take a train to any destination. For example:
- All Mashad trains: at least two weeks before departure
- Esfahan, Shiraz, and Mashad from Tehran: at least two weeks before departure
- Iran-Yazd: at least one week before departure
- Tehran to Ahvaz, Bandar Abbas, Tabriz, Zanjan, Kerman: 4-5 days before departure
- All other trains need to be booked two to three days before departure; however, keep in mind that not all connections travel every day.
You cannot book in advance on some trains that travel between smaller cities; the short train from Mashad to Sarakhs is one example of a train that does not fill up in advance. Online reservations are an option, although, like with airlines, they cannot be made using foreign credit cards. You can contact Eavar to book tickets in the easiest and fastest way.
