Train services

Around half of the train services serving Nur-Sultan call at Nur-Sultan-1. Most of these are "through" services as the newer Nur Sultan Nurly Zhol is a terminal station. Almost all Talgo services that serve Nur-Sultan no longer serve Nur-Sultan-1, but many long distance and commuter services remain at the station. A handful of services call at both Nur-Saltan-1 and Nur Sultan Nurly Jol.
