The '''Marmara Express''' was a passenger train operated by the Turkish State Railways between Basmane Terminal in İzmir and Bandırma. At Bandırma, the train offered a connection to İDO ferries to Istanbul, across the Marmara Sea. The Marmara Express was discontinued in 2004 due to the rehabilitation of the Manisa-Bandırma railway. On 21 February 2007, the '''6 September Super Express''' began operating on the same route, however with limited stops.<ref>[http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/super-ekspres-seferleri-5990062 6 Eylul Ekspresi enters service]</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.turkeytravelplanner.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3456 |title=Information on the Marmara Express |access-date=2016-08-17 |archive-date=2016-09-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160914182904/http://www.turkeytravelplanner.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3456 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
