New modern Karachi-Lahore business train to be launched this week
- Modern train to feature 28 digitally equipped coaches
Pakistan Railways has announced to launch a new state-of-the-art business train, set to commence operations this week between Karachi and Lahore, state-run media reported on Monday.
According to PTV, this new service promises to significantly enhance the travel experience for passengers, particularly on the busy Lahore-Karachi route.
Pakistan Railways spokesperson Babar Ali told Business Recorder that the modern train, Pak Business Express, will feature 28 digitally equipped coaches, designed to provide a comfortable and contemporary journey.
Passengers onboard will enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi connectivity throughout their travel, a significant upgrade for business and leisure travellers alike. Additionally, the train will boast an international-standard dining car, offering premium meal services, he said.
This initiative is part of Pakistan Railways’ ongoing efforts to modernise its fleet and improve passenger amenities, aiming to deliver a significantly enhanced and more comfortable travel experience between the two major cities.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is reportedly scheduled to inaugurate the new service in Lahore on July 19, marking a key milestone in Pakistan Railways’ broader modernisation strategy, the state-run media added.
Another Pakistan Railways official said this train is being assembled in Pakistan, unlike Green Line train coaches, which were brought here after getting assembled in China.
