🚆 The Tbilisi–Baku railway might finally be returning.

Two days ago, information began circulating online again that the Tbilisi–Baku train would resume service from May 26.

Honestly, it felt a bit too sudden after years of similar rumors, so while this announcement seemed more official than previous ones, I still hesitated to share it here right away (only posted it on stories) until there was a bit more confirmation from the other side.

Yesterday, however, Azerbaijan Railways published additional details on their official page, making the restoration of railway traffic much more real.

According to the preliminary agreement, trains are expected to run daily:

🚆 Baku → Tbilisi
Departure: 11:10 pm
Arrival: 08:41 am

🚆 Tbilisi → Baku
Departure: 9 pm
Arrival: 06:24 am

🎟️ Ticket prices are expected to start from 128 GEL one-way, depending on the departure station. They should be available online here: https://ticket.ady.az/

The train will reportedly be operated by a modern Stadler train with sleeping wagons and a restaurant car, carrying over 200 passengers in one direction.

⚠️ One important detail: based on a May 20, 2026, decision by the National Council of Azerbaijan, entry and exit between Georgia and Azerbaijan would be permitted for citizens of Azerbaijan and foreign citizens who are allowed to enter Azerbaijan visa-free.

This suggests that travelers who normally require an Azerbaijan e-visa — including many passport holders from the UK, EU countries, USA, and others — may still not be able to cross the land border or use the train just yet.

That said, there is still no information on whether this also means reopening the regular land border to cars, buses, marshrutkas, and other public transport, which has remained closed since COVID-19 restrictions were introduced six years ago.
