Hi,
I need to know how can I buy train ticket from Istanbul to Tabriz and I know that the destination is Tehran. I was wondering if there is any stop in Tabriz? I've also gathered that there is a weekly train, but couldn't find the date.
I'm travelling from UK and will arrive to Istanul and for the rest I want to travel by train.
I'll appreciate if you could help me.

Hi Elaside.
You can't book this train only. Maybe there are travel agencies offering for booking by phone. But I can't recommend one. The easiest way is to book directly at the train station.
Currently this direct train in direction of Tehran starts from Ankara, as the Istanbul area is closed until 2013 due to rail infrastructure works: [u]https://rail.cc/en/turkey/xtr[/u]

The information I have is here: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/istanbul-to-tehran[/u]

The train is stopping in Tabriz, the first station after the Turkish-Iranian border station.

I hope this will help you planing your trip.
Peter :)
