Akşehir's train station is about 2.5 km NE from the town centre. All the trains that route between Afyon and Konya stop there. However, due to the massive railtrack renovations in northwestern Turkey, it is not currently possible to take a train all the way from Istanbul (and will remain so until at least 2014), and as such, besides Afyon, and Konya, the list of major towns from which a direct train ride to Akşehir is available is limited to Izmir, Manisa, and Uşak west of Afyon, Eskişehir, and Kütahya north of Afyon, and Karaman, and Adana beyond Konya to the south.
