The Meram Ekspresi,
named for Meram (meh-RAHM),
a garden suburb of Konya,
departs Istanbul (Haydarpasa)
daily at 19:40 (7:40 pm) hauling unreserved
compartment cars, reserved-seat Pullman
cars, couchette
cars, sleeping
cars and a dining car.
It arrives in Konya the next morning
at 08:21 am, a journey of 13:01 hours.
The westbound train departs Konya at
17:05 (5:05 pm) and arrives in Istanbul (Haydarpasa)
the next morning at 06:30 am (12:40
hours).
A new high-speed train line between
Polatli and Konya is under construction.
The new line will allow much faster
train times between Istanbul and Konya.
The Meram Express may be removed from
the schedules when the high-speed line
is completed, but for now it is running,
and offers an enjoyable and thrifty
way to travel between Istanbul and
Konya.
Please read this
safety notice about sleeping
car travel.
