The planned Turkish high-speed rail network

The Ankara–Konya high-speed railway (Turkish: Ankara–Konya yüksek hızlı demiryolu) is a high-speed rail line between Ankara and Konya. Yüksek Hızlı Tren (YHT) started commercial operations on 23 August 2011.^[3] Built at a cost of about TL1 billion, the line is the second high-speed rail line in Turkey, after the Ankara–Istanbul high-speed railway.^[4] The line shares the same route with the İstanbul–Ankara high-speed railway from Ankara to Polatlı, from where it branches south at the large Polatlı high-speed rail junction. From Polatlı the line continues south through the plains of middle Anatolia and joins the old Eskişehir–Afyon–Konya railway at Sarıcalar, just north of Konya and continues in parallel to the city.

Construction started on 8 July 2006 and was finished in mid-2011. Test runs started on 3 June 2011 and the commercial runs started on 23 August. It was a turn-key project and constructed by Yapı Merkezi.
