The schedule table above lists 1 train service with a published stop time at Semey — covering both departures and terminating arrivals.

Stops marked arr. show an arrival time only — these are terminating services where Semey is the final stop on the route, so no onward departure time is published. All times shown are in the local time zone (Asia/Almaty). Always confirm the most current timing with station information displays on the day of travel, as railway operators occasionally adjust departure times due to engineering work, seasonal schedule changes, or operational requirements.
When planning a journey from Semey, start by reviewing the train list above to identify services running on your travel date — check the running-days column, departure time, and train type to match your needs. For long-distance trips, the train type matters: express and intercity services are faster and have fewer stops than passenger or regional trains, but typically cost more. Each train name in the timetable links to a dedicated train page showing the full stop sequence from origin to terminus, available travel classes, sample fares, and timing details for every intermediate stop.
Platform allocation at Semey is typically announced on station information displays between 20 and 60 minutes before scheduled departure. Arrive early on the day of travel to locate your platform, find your coach (which is usually marked along the platform edge), and board with time to settle in. For wheelchair-accessible services, mobility assistance, or special-needs travel, contact the operator at least 24 hours in advance — they may dispatch a station attendant to assist with boarding.
Tickets for trains departing Semey can be purchased in three main ways: online through the official national operator website, in person at the station booking office, or through authorised travel agents and approved ticket resellers. Online booking is generally the fastest and gives access to the widest range of fares including advance discount tickets, while station booking offices remain the standard option for cash payment, group bookings, and complex itineraries.
For long-distance journeys, book as far ahead as possible — most national rail networks open reservations between 30 and 120 days before the departure date and release their cheapest fares early in this window. Once advance tickets sell out, only standard or walk-up fares remain, which can cost two to three times the advance price on popular routes. Holiday periods such as religious festivals, summer school holidays, and long public-holiday weekends see the heaviest demand at Semey, so plan accordingly.
Most national railway operators publish reservations between 60 and 120 days before departure on their official website or app. Advance fares are non-refundable and tied to a specific train but are typically 30–70% cheaper than walk-up tickets. Flexible fares allow same-day rebooking. Always check which class is available — Economy or Standard is the lowest fare; First Class, Business, or Sleeper add seat width, amenities, or berth options at higher prices.
At Semey, station booking office hours typically run from early morning until late evening on most days, with reduced hours on Sundays and public holidays.

Once booked, e-tickets can usually be displayed on a phone screen or printed; conductors accept both on most networks.
