Cantt Station is one of the busiest train of Karachi. It is also a part of our heritage. There is much need of improvement in terms of facilities. Brands should own this place and contribute to lift it up. There are many options here for branding and promotions but no one did not utilize this place yet.

A poorly managed and maintained railway station which need to be given good shape, service structures, supervised and accountable management to make this place more people friendly, presentable and clean.

Karachi Cantonment railway station is one of the main Rail stations in Pakistan. Serving to peoples from 1898.Karachi Cantonment railway station is equipped with all basic facilities such as ticketing services, restrooms, waiting areas, and international fast food chains. The station has current and advance reservation offices for Pakistan Railways, as well as freight and parcel facilities. Retail shops are found mainly on platforms 1 and 2, including restaurants such as Pizza Hut and McDonalds, in addition to restaurants offering Pakistani cuisine, that turn your rail journey to a memorable rail journey.However, the economic heart of Pakistan having population of almost 30 million deserve a much better rail station, a lot of areas to be improved, cleanness should also be maintained properly.Some about History:It was earlier known as Frere Street Station. Construction of the station began in 1896 and was completed in 1898 at a total cost of Rs. 80,000 at that time.

Worst experience of my life. There is no shelter and literally no place to sit except the muddy floor. The train is never on time. When we went it was raining and there was no place to sit or seek shelter. We waited, sitting on the muddy and wet ground for 8 hours for our train, cold and wet.They should at least arrange some chairs or place benches for people to sit. Cantt station is a mess.

Few days back I travelled to punjab and it was really an amazing experience as Pak Railway has improved pretty much in everything.

One of the largest train stations in Pakistan. Built as lates 1800s, the station have stood for over 100 years. The architectural design is mesmerizing but needs maintenance on regular basis. Pakistan Railway can do some more by making this station more serene. Avid travelers have seen some improvements in trains schedule and conditions. Toilets are separate for male and female but they may not be as clean as you have at your homes.

I tried calling 117 without success, online tracking was switched off and finally missed my train when I reached the station. Then strode up in the ticketing Lane for 2 hours waiting and finally at my turn, staff told that already 3 hours passed from the train scheduled time where actually train left 1& half hour late, I lost the opportunity to get even 50% reimbursement because of Railways system constraints. Shameful and discusting. May Allah give me justice from this mafia. Aameen
