No one rides this Turkish train

In this video, I board the Güney Kurtalan Express, otherwise known as the Mesopotamia Express, for a journey across the heart of Turkey. Running for around 1,000 kilometres between Ankara and Kurtalan, this little-known train crosses some of the country's least-visited regions. My journey begins in Diyarbakır, the cultural capital of Turkey's Kurdish region, before heading across the vast plains and mountains of Anatolia towards Cappadocia.
