6th of September Express

The 6th of September Express (Turkish: 6 Eylül Ekspresi) is a 368 km (229 mi) long daily passenger train operated by TCDD Taşımacılık.

The train runs from Basmane Terminal[1] in İzmir to Soma, Manisa[2] in western Turkey.

The train provides local service on between the two destinations and the total scheduled time of a trip is 3 hours and 33 minutes.

Once the tunnel was rebuilt and train service returned, the 6th of September Express continued to operate only to Soma for a year.
