Train services

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