From a correspondent in late 2024 <br/ >
[[Tajikistan - Visit Reports]]
Arrived at the station for 08:40 Dushanbe to Kulyab with what I thought was plenty of time, but unlike the day before when the doors to the platform were open, this time they were locked. There were people waiting in the station building but as the time approached 08:30 and I couldn't get on the platform, I felt something was wrong. It turns out the station was being prepared for the 10:08 departure to Volgograd - and as Dushanbe is the border for international trains, immigration and customs block off certain parts of the station. I was kindly pointed in the right direction to access the platform from a side gate 100 meters down the street, and made the train just as the guards were starting to close the doors.

Ticketing

You can buy tickets at the train station or at a kassa in central Dushanbe that sells rail and air tickets. Online, you can try Tutu.ru.
