Passenger train service between Tashkent and Moscow resumes after COVID-19 suspension
Passenger train services between Tashkent and Moscow, which had been suspended in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, have now resumed.
Uzbekistan Railways announced that trains will run once a week on this international route, making stops at various stations in Kazakhstan along the way.
On September 24, at 19:55 local time, train No. 505, traveling from Tashkent to Moscow, departed from Tashkent Central Railway Station in a ceremonial send-off. The train is scheduled to arrive at its final destination, Moscow's Paveletsky Railway Station, on September 27 at 23:12 (Moscow time).
