Pakistan Railways has officially released its new winter timetable, set to be implemented from October 15, 2024. The updated schedule brings several adjustments to the stopovers of various trains across the country, ensuring smoother and more efficient travel for passengers during the colder months.
Key Changes in Train Stopovers
According to the revised timetable, the administration has made permanent changes to the stopovers of three major trains. These include the Pakistan Express (45Up/46Dn), which will now have a fixed stop at Chak Jhumra; the Ghouri Express (113Up/114Dn), scheduled to halt at Farooqabad; and the Mehran Express (149Up/150Dn), which will make a stop at Jhimpir Railway Station. These adjustments are part of Pakistan Railways’ ongoing efforts to improve services and cater to the needs of passengers at these key stations.
Enhancing Passenger Convenience
By revising the stopovers and making them permanent, Pakistan Railways aims to enhance convenience for passengers who frequently travel along these routes. The permanent halts will help improve accessibility and ensure that travelers have more consistent options for boarding and alighting at critical locations across the country.
Part of Broader Service Improvement Initiatives
These changes reflect Pakistan Railways’ commitment to improving its overall service by continuously reviewing and updating train schedules in response to passenger needs. The winter timetable also aligns with broader operational strategies aimed at streamlining train routes, minimizing delays, and boosting efficiency.
Looking Forward
As the new timetable comes into effect, passengers are encouraged to stay updated on any further changes or announcements from Pakistan Railways. The administration remains focused on enhancing the travel experience for all and maintaining high standards of service throughout the winter season.
