Turkish
train cars in which passengers
sit are of two types.
American-style Pullman cars with
individual reclining seats, single
seat on one side of the aisle, two
on the other, all facing in the
same direction toward the front of
the train. All are non-smoking, heated
and air-conditioned,
and equipped with large overhead luggage
racks, and recycling toilets at the
end of each car.
Most expresses in western Turkey use
this type of car.
European-style
compartments for up to
six persons. Passengers sit on
two bench seats facing one another,
three seats on each side. One side
faces toward the front of the train,
the other toward the rear. A dozen
compartments line one side of the
train car, each compartment with
a window to the outside and a door
to the access corridor on the other
side. Toilets are at the end of
each car.
Turkish trains use both types,
although the newer, better trains use
the Pullman-style
cars.
YHT High
Speed Trains have
their own, more modern trainsets:
comfortable Pullman-style coaches
with the usual amenities.
In YHT
Business Class coaches,
each seat has an individual video
screen with a variety of programs,
as well as a 240-volt power
outlet/points for your
computer, mobile phone, etc..
Attendants hand out headsets at
the beginning of the journey, and snacks during
the juorney.
