According to schedule, he said that the first Eid train would run from Karachi on June 2 at 10:45 am for Peshawar and the second train would leave from Quetta on the same day at 11:30 am for Rawalpindi.

The spokesman said the third train would depart from Karachi Cantonment on June 3 at 11:30 am for Lahore.

The fourth special train would leave from Rawalpindi on June 8 at 8 am for Quetta.

He said the last Eid special train would run from June 8 from Lahore Railway Station for Karachi Cantonment at 6 pm.
