All Pakistan Railway Trains — Complete Guide 2026

Pakistan Railways operates over 100 numbered passenger train services across its 7,791 km network, categorised into Express trains, Mail trains, and Passenger trains. Each train is assigned a unique number pair — odd for the UP direction (towards Lahore/Peshawar) and even for the DOWN direction (towards Karachi). Click any train above to view its full route, station stops, schedule, and live tracking status.

Express Trains in Pakistan (2026)

Express trains are the premium long-distance services with the fewest station stops and fastest journey times. The most popular express trains include the Green Line Express (Karachi–Islamabad, AC only, fastest premium option), Business Express (Lahore–Karachi, fastest main-line timing at ~14 hrs), Tezgam Express (Pakistan's most iconic express since 1954, Karachi–Lahore), Karakoram Express (Karachi–Rawalpindi, offers all classes including affordable economy), and Khyber Mail(coast-to-Khyber-Pass, one of Pakistan's oldest train services). Express trains require reserved tickets for all classes except General Unreserved.

Mail Trains in Pakistan

Mail trains run on major routes but stop at more intermediate stations than express trains. They are ideal when traveling to cities that express trains skip. Notable mail trains include Khyber Mail (Karachi to Peshawar via Lahore), Bolan Mail (Karachi to Quetta through Balochistan), Awam Express (covering Punjab and KPK secondary cities), and Hazara Express (reaching Havelian in the Hazara region). Mail trains are slightly slower but often have better seat availability on short notice.

How to Choose the Right Train

Use these criteria to pick the best Pakistan Railways train for your journey: Speed — choose Business Express or Green Line. Comfort — Green Line and Business Express have the newest coaches. Budget — Karakoram Express and Awam Express offer the lowest economy fares. Route coverage — if your destination is a smaller city, check mail or passenger trains that stop there. Night travel — Tezgam (evening departure from Karachi) lets you sleep through the journey and arrive in Lahore in the morning. View individual train pages for complete stop lists and current live tracking.

How do I book a Pakistan Railways train ticket online?+

Tickets can be booked online at the official Pakistan Railways booking portal (pak-railways.gov.pk) using your CNIC, credit/debit card, or mobile wallets including JazzCash and Easypaisa.

What is the difference between UP and DOWN trains?+

Pakistan Railways uses UP and DOWN to indicate travel direction. UP trains travel north (away from Karachi toward Lahore, Rawalpindi, Peshawar) and carry odd train numbers (1, 7, 27…). DOWN trains travel south back toward Karachi and carry even numbers (2, 8, 28…). Every train runs both directions under a number pair — for example, Tezgam is 7UP going north and 8DN returning south.
