Two freight and passenger elevators for people with disabilities have been installed at the Pavlodar railway station. Tactile signs are laid in the building, special rest rooms and sanitary facilities are equipped.
Two historical railway station buildings, built in 1905 and 1968, have been renovated in Kyzylorda. Passenger traffic has increased significantly.

Facades, doors, windows and utilities have been updated at all three stations. Ramps, tactile paths and special ticket offices have been installed for people with special needs. In addition, modern Wi-Fi zones, information screens and X-ray machines for checking luggage have been introduced.

To date, 20 pairs of trains depart from Shymkent station in various directions, 16 pairs from Pavlodar station, and 15 pairs from Kyzylorda station.
