You cannot enter and leave Turkmenistan from/to the same country on a transit visa - you need to go through Turkmenistan, for instance from Kazakhstan to Uzbekistan, or from Uz to Iran. You will need both visas in advance before you apply for the Turkmen transit visa. Istanbul or Ankara are possibilities for all your stan visas. See the embassy reports on the previous link for more on that.

 that makes sense with a 'transit' visa. Scratch Turkmenistan then, maybe? Could you enter from Kaz at Bekdash? then exit into UZB at Bukhara for example?
Bad roads shouldn't be a problem, looks like that is our way to Uzbekistan then. Would you recommend stopping in Istan/Anakara to do all these? we cannot get them from the UK because we will be leaving in January and taking a slow drive around and down. I did read in a few places about picking up visas in Turkey before heading east.
If anyone has a better idea please let me know.
cheers
