Hi!

Anybody here ever been on a Turkish train? The consensus seems to be that the bus is "better," but other than being faster, I can't really figure out why. I'm trying to decide between a 12 hour bus trip between Istanbul and Denizli/Pamukkale and a 15 hour overnight train trip in a sleeper, which I think I greatly prefer, but my travel partner is not convinced, since we've heard lots of mostly-unsubstantiated denigration of the Turkish rail system.

I'd love some first-hand experience to help us decide. What do you think?
