Trains

Albanian Railways (Hekurudha Shqiptare, depicting a TGV high speed train on their website www.hsh.com.al) runs two wheezing and clanking trains per day from Shkodra to Tirana and back. Tickets are 145 lek. It isn't particularly fast, comfortable or clean but it's certainly a fun and cheap way to travel. If you're in a hurry, take the bus. Shkodra's large train station on Rruga Stacionit te Trenit at the eastern fringe of town is a clean and pleasant place to wait; ticket counters only open before departures, and there's no left luggage office. Although there's a railway line to Podgorica in Montenegro, it's only used for freight trains.
