]]> Comment on Turkmenistan railways by SKM http://www.andrewgrantham.co.uk/afghanistan/4526/turkmenistan-railways/comment-page-1/#comment-50930 SKM Mon, 23 Jan 2012 06:46:31 +0000 http://www.andrewgrantham.co.uk/afghanistan/?p=4526#comment-50930 There is no website because internet use in Turkmenistan is among the lowest in the world. They will not speak English/have internet access. This is a very reclusive country and your request for information (no matter how harmless) will probably not be received as it would be in the UK. As of 2011, I don't think that the new units were not in use because the infrastructure means that the lines are so old and have a different gauge. I have a picture of some current running stock if you can let me have an email address. There is no website because internet use in Turkmenistan is among the lowest in the world.
