The Azerbaijan Railways is reviving the legendary Orient Express on the Baku–Tbilisi–Istanbul route. Stadler Rail supplied the rolling stock, while Nose created a well-thought-out design concept to deliver a modern travel experience.
The train offers three classes: standard, comfort, and luxury. In the luxury class, each compartment features a private en-suite bathroom, designed for maximum travel comfort. A 90-degree rotated version of this bathroom is also used in the comfort class, where it can be shared by up to four passengers. This modular layout in small-scale production provides economies of scale and enhances cost efficiency.
A consistent design concept unites all three classes. Contemporary Azerbaijani ornamentation runs throughout the interiors, complemented by a carefully curated colour scheme that reflects regional traditions. Lighter shades define the higher classes, while darker tones distinguish the standard class.
This train elegantly bridges modernity and tradition. Its design, technology, and efficiency set new standards while reviving the legacy of luxurious long-distance rail travel.
