After a 6-year break, passenger train service between Baku and Tbilisi has been resumed.

The first passengers departed on Monday on the updated route, The Caspian Post reports.

It is recalled that in 2019, the old trains operating on the Baku-Tbilisi-Baku route had already been decommissioned. Currently, services are being carried out using modern “Stadler” carriages manufactured by Stadler Rail.

The new generation rolling stock provides higher comfort for passengers, modern interiors, individual service opportunities, and travel conditions that comply with international standards.

The train departed at 23:10 (Baku time).
