Shah Hussain Express Resumes More Trains Outsourced

The decision was made after the private company operating the train refused to continue services due to declining revenue.

The train, which ran between Karachi and Rawalpindi, was outsourced to the private sector.

Additionally, Pakistan Railways resumed the Shah Hussain Express today between Karachi-Lahore, significantly relieving passengers traveling between the two cities.

The train departed Karachi Cantonment Station at 7:30 p.m. and arrived in Lahore at 2:15 p.m., passing through major cities like Hyderabad, Rohri, Bahawalpur, Lodhran, Khanewal, and Faisalabad.

The return journey from Lahore will commence at 7:00 pm, to reach Karachi at 2:05 pm.

The train consists of 10 economy class coaches, 2 AC business class coaches, 2 AC standard class coaches, 1 power plant, and a brake van.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Railways will operate two special trains to facilitate the disciples of Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar on his annual Urs at Sehwan Sharif.

The first special train will leave Faisalabad station at 10:00 pm on February 14, Friday to reach Sehwan Sharif on Saturday at 2:15 pm through Shurkot, Lodhran, Rohri, Dand Adu.
