Osmaneli train station is staffed only between 8:30AM-noon and 1PM-5PM. Although normally you should pay an extra fine in addition to the fare if you board a train without a ticket in Turkey, in Osmaneli station, it is explicitly explained that all you have to pay is the normal ticket price to the conductor inside the train when boarding a train calling at the station on non-staffed hours. So don’t worry if you see the ticket window completely locked up when arrived at the station. However, have some cash in Turkish Lira with you, as the conductor will not be able to process credit cards or foreign currency.
If you are heading for Istanbul and intend to take trains coming from eastern Turkey, such as Doğu or Güney Express – which are also the cheapest options, expect them to be late for several hours.
