Beautiful ️ Railway Station wherefrom train services towards all over the Pakistan are provided. Waiting area of the railway station is not big enough and it hardly has the capacity of maximum fifty (50) passengers to wait for their train... Building is too beautiful ️. Some renovation work is also being carried out to rehabilitate the tracks..

It is the main Railway station of Karachi and the last one on railway track starting from Peshawar (KPK). This track pass through almost whole of the country. Trains for all over the Pakistan are available here. It has large platforms and lot of edible are available on stalls/tuck shops situated on these platforms. Platforms has waiting areas which are both open and covered places, but at times one cant find a place to sit due rush of passengers. On spot ticketing facility is available on the station beside this facility for online reservation of tickets is now also available through Pakistan Railways mobile application.

The busiest railway station after Lahore Station was established in 1896 by British company.The passenger trains move across the country and is the departure station for many express trains.The building is currently under protected heritage by Government of Sindh. There station has every facility that needs to in a major station except escalators and elevators for special & senior citizens. Only simple staircase is provided to move through platforms.The platforms are quite long and wide, there are plenty of food stalls and souvenir outlets situated between platforms.

04Sep2020 and 02Sep2020:Departed with Karachi Express from Karachi Cantt to Rahimyar Khan on 02Sep at 7:45 p.m. exactly on time. Reached Rahimyar Khan at 6:20 a.m. only 40 minutes behind schedule.The Station is not in good shape. There is no security in sight. The trains are not kept tidy. Washrooms are unclean.Though the best Sweet meat shop of Rehmat e Shireen is situated inside for the utter delight of passengers.Returned on 4Sep with Shalimar Express which was already late by 3 hours behind schedule. The seats were much better than Karachi Express. There was hardly 25% occupancy. Due to Covid, no meals were served making it difficult for the passengers.We all hope and pray to Almighty God to relieve the humanity of this epidemic.For: BB Travel n Tours

Review №33

One of the oldest railways stations in Pakistan. Built during British reign in the subcontinent between 1860-1870 by an Indian-British engineer.It’s still one of the largest railway stations of the country. Everything is very streamlined and organised. From buying tickets to check your platform for departure. However most of the system is not computerised and a guy has to open up a big register for details about everything.

Assalamu Alaikum!Need Your attention if you have time ️Quetta Railway Station is a historical railway station in Pakistan.Its history goes back to British regime.For the reservation of tickets for Lahore and Karachi please visit reservation block and those who are wishing to travel the border city Chaman are required to book ticket from Chaman Passenger Ticket Ghar before 8 AM at morning.No reservations are for Chaman only ticket bookings are done at morning 24/7 before 8:00 AM.For any other kind of Inquiry visit the administration office to inform well about...Fir those who are in Chaman and are wishing to travel to other parts of Pakistan via train are called to visit Chaman railway station administration office.Moreover they would have to travel Quetta first via train and then he/she has to travel from Quetta via Jaffar Express or by Shaheed Akbar Bugti Express to Lahore, Quetta, Karachi , Peshawar and to other parts of Pakistan.I Myself travelled so many times via train and the journey via train is so awesome, good and reliable.Note: No food items are provided in trains by Pakistan railway so keep in mind that while on long journey be prepared with food items however on different railway stations throughout Pakistan these are available easily but before that keep light food items such as chips, biscuits and other food items with yourself for safe journey.May Allah Almighty bless you and reach you safely on your Distination ️ThanksDont forget to like...Ur Brother

A relic of the storied colonial era, this institution probably looked and functioned better in that era than it does now. But this place thrives with the ebb and flow of passengers making their way across this vast and still untamed country. Its a melting pot of cultures, ethnicities, tales of happiness & loss, enchantment, and hordes of coolies dressed in jumpsuit-orange uniformed shirts.

It is the main railway station of city of Karachi. Others being Karachi city, Drigh rd Jn and Landhi Jn. There are 8 platforms on Karachi Cantt station. The best among these is platform #1. While #7 & #8 are new built as station gets busy with all the up and down traffic. Unfortunately the cleanliness is not very good. There is a big railway reservation center too.
