In addition, departure schedules for various trains have been revised for better passenger service during the winter season. These trains include Tezgam (7 Up), Allama Iqbal Express (9 Up/10 Dn), Karachi Express (15 Up/16 Dn), Multan Express (17 Up), Rahman Baba Express (47 Up), Rawal Express (121 Up), Thal Express (129 Up), Kohat Express (133 Up), Chenab Express (135 Up), Mehran Express (150 Dn), Narowal Passenger (211 Up/212 Dn), Shaheen Passenger (225 Up/226 Dn), Rawalpindi Passenger (268 Dn), and Mianwali Express (148 Dn).
Notably, Pakistan Railways has recently raised fares twice due to the increase in petrol and diesel prices, resulting in a nearly 20% fare hike over the past couple of months. There are expectations of a reduction in petrol and diesel prices, so it remains to be seen whether the railway ministry will adjust fares accordingly.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
