A pleasure to ride on, and as good as anything in Western Europe, brand-new 250 km/h high-speed trains are now operating on the Eskisehir to Ankara, Ankara-Konya & Eskisehir-Konya routes. Known as YHT, Yüksek Hızlı Treni, they feature comfortable seats in Economy and Business classes. It's possible they will start running from Istanbul to Ankara in early 2014.
