Can I travel out of Iran by Trains?
12 of the Trains routes we sell touching Iran cross a border and 1628 stay inside it, reaching 1 other countries including Pakistan. Cross border routes are usually the ones where the fare and the journey time differ most between operators.
Which operators run Trains services in Iran?
6 operators run Trains services on routes we sell in Iran: BonRail, Commuter, Pakistan Railways, RAI, RAJA. Each is a real carrier from the published operator catalogue, and each has its own fares and conditions. The operator table on this page compares them on speed, flexibility and what is on board.
What is the longest Trains route in Iran?
The longest Trains route we sell touching Iran runs from Marvdasht to Mashhad, 954 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 214 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.
Where these numbers come from
Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.
