TCDD Transport or Turkish State Railways Transport (Turkish: TCDD Taşımacılık, reporting mark TCDDT) is a government-owned railway company responsible for the operations of most passenger and freight rail in Turkey. The company was formed on 14 June 2016, splitting off from Turkish State Railways (TCDD) to take over railway operations, while TCDD would continue to administer railway infrastructure.[1] TCDD Taşımacılık officially began operations on 1 January 2017.

Organisation

[edit]

TCDD Taşımacılık is a government-owned company responsible for the operation of passenger and freight railways within Turkey, including logistical centers and train ferries using infrastructure owned and maintained by the Turkish State Railways.[1]

In 2024 the EU said that "subsidies to the incumbent railway operator and the lack of financial independence of the transport operator from infrastructure manager TCDD remain major issues."[2]

Passenger operations

[edit]

TCDD Taşımacılık operates passenger rail service on most of its network. TCDD Taşımacılık operates trains on a network of over 13,430 km (8,350 mi) within 59 of the 81 provinces in Turkey. TCDD Taşımacılık operates five types of passenger rail on its network:

  • High-speed (Yüksek Hızlı Tren): TCDD Taşımacılık's premier rail service.
  • Mainline (Anahat): Standard intercity passenger rail service, between major cities.
  • Regional (Bölgesel): Regional rail service, connecting major cities to surrounding cities, towns and villages.
  • Commuter (Banliyö): Commuter rail service within major cities.
  • International (Uluslararası): International train service to Europe.

High-speed rail

[edit]

High-speed rail service is TCDD Taşımacılık's premier trains service, currently operating eight routes between Istanbul, Ankara, Eskişehir, Sivas, Karaman and Konya along the Ankara-Istanbul, Ankara–Sivas, Konya-Karaman and Polatlı-Konya high-speed railways.[3] High-speed trains are branded as Yüksek Hızlı Tren or YHT and operates at speeds of up to 250 km/h (160 mph). YHT train service is expected to expand further to Bursa and İzmir in 2027.

YHT trains use Ankara station as their main hub, with an exclusive concourse and lounges within the Ankara Tren Garı building, built over the southern platforms at Ankara station.

High-speed train service began on 13 March 2009, between Ankara and Eskişehir. In their final year before TCDD Taşımacılık took over, TCDD-operated YHT trains carried over 5.89 million passengers.[4]

Intercity rail

[edit]

Intercity rail in Turkey is known as Mainline (Turkish: Anahat) service. Mainline trains operate between major cities, often as overnight trains, and make limited stops. Mainline trains also operate at greater speeds than regional and commuter trains when the route permits it. Intercity trains were operated the most between Istanbul and Ankara and reached speeds of up to 140 km/h (87 mph) in certain sections. The Capital Express, Anatolian Express and the Republic Express were a few notable mainline trains that ran on the Istanbul to Ankara rail corridor. Once the Ankara-Istanbul high-speed railway was completed in 2014, all mainline train service between the two cities was replaced with high-speed rail service.

Mainline trains are usually equipped with TVS2000 air-conditioned cars, however refurbished Pullman cars are also used on some trains. Overnight mainline trains consist of sleeping and dining cars while some trains also have couchette cars in addition to sleepers.

During the final year before TCDD Taşımacılık took over operations, mainline trains carried over 1.3 million passengers.[4]

Regional rail

[edit]

Regional rail (Turkish: Bölgesel treni) service connects major cities to neighboring towns and villages, as well as other cities. These trains are usually the slowest in the whole TCDD Taşımacılık system, making frequent stops along its route. Some trains, like the Ada Express, however operate at faster speeds similar to mainline trains. All regional rail service operates within their respective districts, using one city as a hub.

The most frequent regional rail service in Turkey is between Adana and Mersin with 27 daily trains in each direction. The second most frequent route is between İzmir and Torbalı, with 18 daily trains in each direction.

Regional trains can be locomotive-hauled or consist of diesel or electric trainsets (MUs) or even diesel railcars. Locomotive-hauled trains consist of TVS200 or regular Pullman coaches. DM15000 and DM30000 DMUs are standard along many routes, especially south of İzmir. Regional trains lack any on-board services except at-cart catering services on most trains.

During the final year before TCDD Taşımacılık took over operations, regional trains carried over 13.5 million passengers.[4]

Commuter rail

[edit]

Commuter rail service is currently provided in Istanbul, Ankara and Gaziantep; with new networks under planning stage in Konya and Afyonkarahisar. The Marmaray network operates between Halkalı in Istanbul province and Gebze in the neighboring Kocaeli province. The tunnel that Marmaray uses to cross Bosphorus is the deepest immersed tube tunnel in the world, and the tunnel is also used by freight trains. Another commuter rail service operates between Halkalı and Bahçeşehir (both in Istanbul province), but due to the lack of a signalling system and double tracks, trains only operate once in the morning and once in the evening in each direction.

The Başkentray network in Ankara provides commuter rail service along an east-west axis between Sincan and Kayaş, with Ankara station as a hub.

All commuter rail service operates on its own right-of-way, similar to some S-Bahn systems in Germany, and are fully integrated with their respective cities' transportation network. The only commuter railway in Turkey not operated by TCDD Taşımacılık is İZBAN, which operates commuter rail on two lines in the İzmir metropolitan area.

International rail

[edit]

While TCDD used to operate several international trains to Europe and the Middle East, most of these trains were cancelled due to the outbreak of war in Syria and Iraq, and the economic crisis in Greece. Currently, TCDD Taşımacılık operates two international trains from Istanbul to Sofia and Bucharest in Bulgaria and Romania respectively. These two routes operate out of Halkalı as a single train and later split in Bulgaria. Once the rehabilitation of the railway east of Halkalı is completed in late 2018, international train service will resume from their former terminus, Sirkeci station. An agreement between Greece and Turkey to revive the Istanbul to Thessaloniki train, cancelled in 2011, was signed in March 2016, but no progress has been made since and it is still unclear whether or not the train will resume service.

A new international passenger service from Kars to Baku, Azerbaijan, was expected to start June 2018 via the recently completed Baku–Tbilisi–Kars railway. A train such as this would be the first revenue passenger train service from Turkey to the Caucasus.[5]

Due to the volatile situation in Syria and Iraq, all international train service to the Middle East is suspended indefinitely.

International services to Europe

[edit]
Sirkeci Terminal on the European side of Istanbul was inaugurated in 1890 as the terminus of the Rumelia Railway and the Orient Express.

Freight operations

[edit]

From 1980 onwards, rail freight tonne-kilometers transported by the TCDD rose slightly from ~5000million tonne-km in 1980 to ~7000million tonne-km in 1990 and to ~9000million tonne-km in 2000.[6] Approximately 50% of freight moved is minerals or ores, with construction materials increasing to ~10% in 2000 from less than 5% in 1980, food/agricultural products, chemicals/petroleum, and metal sectors each account for between 5 and 10%. International freight accounted for approximately 5% of totals in 2000.[6]

In 2012, 25.7 million tonnes were transported by rail in Turkey.[ambiguous] Two steel companies, Erdemir and Kardemir, the top 2 customers of TCDD, had transported 4.5 million tonnes of freight in 2012, mainly iron ore and coal.[7] 2.1 million tons of rail freight belong to international traffic. Most of the international traffic between Turkey and Europe is routed via Kapikule and mainly consists of container trains.[8]

As of 2016, the number of goods transported by rail is stable (25.8 million tonnes) with 7.1 million tonnes being done with private wagons (domestic only). International transport is also stable since 2013 (1.8 million).[9]

Containers are widely used both in international and domestic transportation. 7.6 million tons is carried in containers. TCDD supports transportation by containers. Thus, almost all of the private railway companies invested in container wagons, and carry 20% of all rail freight by their own wagons.[10]

TCDD has plans to strengthen its freight traffic with the construction of 4,000 kilometres (2,500 mi) of conventional lines up to 2023. This includes new international rail connections to Georgia, Iraq and Iran,[11] and will be complemented with the construction of 18 logistical centers in order to increase the ratio of domestic freight transported by rail.[12] The company is also planning to increase its international transit traffic (as little as 7000 tonnes in 2016) by constructing an "iron silk road" that will connect Europe and Asia and thus take a share from one of the world's busiest freight traffic routes.[13] The Marmaray and the Yavuz Sultan Selim bridge are the most important parts of this project which were completed in 2015 and 2016 respectively.[14] Another key project is the Kars–Tbilisi–Baku railway which is planned to be completed in 2016 and start functioning in 2017.[15] Also, plans for another supplying project to Kars-Tbilisi-Baku railway, the Kars-Igdir-Nakhcivan railway has been completed.[16]

In Turkey

[edit]

TCDD Transport operate freight trains on all TCDD lines.[citation needed] TCDD Transport has a big fleet of covered goods wagons, flat wagons, tank wagons, open wagons and hoppers. TCDD Transport also has a few schnabel cars and crane cars. TCDD Transport carries freight such as bulk, shipping containers, liquids and goods.

As of 2012, 25.7 million ton is transported by rail in Turkey. Two steel companies, Erdemir and Kardemir, top 2 customers of TCDD, had transported 4.5 million ton in 2012, mainly iron ore and coal.[17]

2.1 million tons of rail freight belong to international traffic. Most international traffic is between Turkey and Europe, routed via Kapikule. Several container trains run on this route as well as conventional wagons.[18]

Containers are widely used both in international and domestic transportation. 7.6 million tonnes are carried in containers. TCDD is supporting transportation by containers. Thus almost all of the private railway companies invested in container wagons, and carrying 20% of all rail freight by their own wagons.[19]

TCDD has plans to strengthen freight traffic by adding 4000 km conventional lines until 2023. That includes new international rail connections to Georgia, Iraq and Iran.[20] TCDD is also constructing 18 logistic centers to enable transportation of more loads by rail.[21]

TCDD is planning to increase its transit traffic (11,000 tonnes in 2011) by constructing an "iron silk road" to connect Europe to Asia. The Marmaray is the most important part of this project which is supposed to complete in 2015.[22] Another project is the Kars–Tbilisi–Baku railway which will be completed in 2014. TCDD wants to have share from the freight traffic between Europe and China.[23]

To Europe

[edit]

As of May 2014, there are 3 companies organizing regular container trains between Turkey and Europe: IFB, Balo and Metrans. The weekly departures by these 3 companies is about 10 in each direction in total.[24] By 16 June 2014 IFB ended direct container service to Turkey and started using vessel connection via Constanta powered by Global Multimodal.[25]

There are also other services started in 2014 such as intermodal trailer service by Ulusoy Logistics[26] and swapbody train by Transfesa.[27]

List of routes

[edit]

TCDD Transport operates on the 12,532 km long Turkish rail network, and currently 90% is served by passenger trains.

Blue Train

[edit]

The Blue Train (Turkish: Mavi Tren) is the Turkish State Railways premier passenger train service started in the 1980s. The first, simply called Blue Train, operated between Istanbul and Ankara, entering service in 1979.[28] More Blue Train services were added later on. The İzmir Blue Train, Central Anatolia Blue Train, Çukurova Blue Train and 4th of September Blue Train were overnight trains. These trains had custom railcars, built by TÜVASAŞ, all painted blue with a blue painted DE 24000 series locomotive pulling the train. The current remnant is just a branding with regular rolling stock. Today there are only three blue trains are in service.
