My recent passion to travel through railways is turning to be a great experience. Rawalpindi station was clean, well managed and polite and well behaved staff. The main hall or booking area needs immediate attention in terms of cleaning and it appears unfair to charge money for the use of washrooms at a public facility like railway booking area.
Each and everything is well managed more than expected. Security is strict. My luggage was checked by machine. Staff is cooperative. Only passengers are allowed to enter at the station. Thanks to the minister of railway Pakistan to providing us the best services.
A commendable facility for travelers to get desire destination with pakistan railway but internal cleanness and standard need to be upgraded. Staff need to be trained well to welcome passengers with customer service and greetings. Security concerns screenings check ups wasnt fulfilled according to SOP. Due to covid-19 masks were also avoided which can seriously effect the health of passengers.

Trains were on time without any delays.We booked a train to Lahore from Rawalpindi.Departure Time 7:00 amReached at 12:00 pmWhile moving towards to Lahore, train stopped at every station.On the same day we booked a return ticket from Lahore to Rawalpindi.Islamabad Express TrainDeparture time 06:00 pmArrived at Rawalpindi 10:30 pmExperience 9/10Environment 9/10Punctuality 10/10Cleanliness 8/10Business class Fare. 1100/- per person one way Rwp to Lhr
Pakistan Railways (reporting mark PR) (Urdu: پاکستان ریلویز) is the national, state-owned railway company of Pakistan. Founded in 1861 and headquartered in Lahore, it owns 7,791 kilometres (4,841 miles) of track across Pakistan from Torkham to Karachi, offering both freight and passenger services.
Nice and clean environment as compared to many railway stations even lahore also. Good to see the environment and management work. Better than most of the stations of Pakistan
Clean , but too rushy, no one manage the parking area, only one exit for male and females. Need to improves aervices
One of the most busiest railway stations in Pakistan. Railway station has clean environment but they need to update the entrance gate at Rawalpindi railway station. Entrance is crowded as people have to wait a lot to get their baggage scanned through the scanner. Scanner is super slow and they need to increased number of scanners on entrance to avoid crowd on entrance.
This stations now serves both cities Rawalpindi and Islamabad, built by North Western Railway (NWR) for this garrison town. Trains for all over Pakistan pass over here till Karachi. Many short distance routes originated from here for KPK and Punjab small town, cities. An old black coal engine is placed outside this station as a land mark. It is located in Cantt. area of Rawalpidi.
Railway station at Rawalpindi is quite old and small. Being a junctions and the main Railways station of the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, it has quite a large number of trains serving the area. However, it is still quite small compared to Lahore. Its building is historical and the facade has been maintained nicely. There is also an old coal vintage engine kept outside the main building for viewing.
My obsession with these beautiful buildings will never gonna end.Rawalpindi railway station is located in Saddar area of Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan. Rawalpindi railway station opened in 1881, during construction of the Punjab Northern State Railway which began in 1870.Route was first surveyed in 1857,& aimed to connect Lahore with Peshawar via Rawalpindi.

Very big Rawalpindi railway station
It is not as big as Lahore or Karachi railway station , but it is well managed and clean..
I was here on Monday morning 6 o clock. (28/09/2020. My train (Pakistan Express) departed from Rawalpindi for Karachi Cant at 6:00 AM.
Clean place, ask the workers at th station ti make sure which tracks is your train on. As this is confusing and is not indicsted corectly so you may even get on the wrong train if you are not careful.
One of the best railway station of Pakistan.
This is Rawalpindi railway junction which is conducted a lot of passengers in this region, one thing is little bit bad and which is bad adminstration of this station. They are not follow the rules and irritate or miss behaved with visitors and miss use the own authority. Like administrators are always vehicles parked wrong paths or below the no parking signs, which is strictly prohibited only for others nor staff or administrators. But this is neat and clean station.
So clean nd green...I like it relax place..
PARLOR CAR IS PERFECT FOR THOSE WHO OFTEN TRAVEL ON FAISAL MOVERS ORE BILAL ETC. FULL LUXURY CABIN SOUNDPROOF. DONT ACCEPT REFRESHMENT FROM CREW! THEY GIVE IT TO YOU AND CHARGE YOU WHEN YOUVE EATEN EVERYTHING!
This station is not a conjested place but still a lot to improve. We cant even compare with international standards of a railway station.
Outside train engine is fabulous and old time building makes the place wonderful
Pakistan One of Busiest Railway Station AND Clean as high Standard past 4+ Years Trains Conditions come Much Batter and Trains Timing is 100% AccurateI m happy travel by Train its more safer then any Road Journey
Brilliant Staff Net And Clear Everything is In Order
Great Railways station
Best for comfortable travel
Railways has always been so romantic. Love riding by train. Its comfy, walkable, edibles keep on coming through. Its all equipped whats needed for travelling
Old legend but recently not taken well care of, with all other such great facilities. No much facilities for general public and again I don’t find it recommend for sick or old fellows to jump over other platforms. They really should improve at least the business class waiting loung and have some way to take the sick people across boards
Lovely place for traveling with amazing facilities...
Excellent work....but the awamii train is very bad in condition
Best Railway Station Of the Pakistan.Railway Station’s Building is Historic and Beautiful.Most of the Trains Departures on thier Time...Railway Staff is Cooperative and provides best possible services.

Green Line, Jinnah Express and Islamabad Express are the Non Stop and Luxury trains run on this track towards Lahore and that of Karachi making the journey comfortable and pleasure one. LONG LIVE PAKISTAN...
Rawalpindi railway station is located in Saddar area of Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan. It is one of several major stops on the Karachi Peshawar Railway Line. The nearest Saddar Metrobus Station, part of the Rawalpindi-Islamabad Metrobus is 20 minutes (1.5 km) walk away.Rawalpindi station was opened in 1881, during construction of the Punjab Northern State Railway which began in 1870. The route was first surveyed in 1857, and aimed to connect Lahore with Peshawar via Rawalpindi. Years of political and military debate followed as described under the Lahore & Peshawar Railway. Along with several other railways, the Punjab Northern State Railway was merged with the Scinde, Punjab Delhi Railway in 1886 to form the North Western State Railway.
British era built Rawalpindi Railway Station and Junction
Beautiful place
A nice clean station. Not many trains do come here. But its a clean station with all the required perks. Mostly the platforms are fixed for each train and they do not change often.
If someone likes to visit a typical british made railway station,Cleanliness of the facility was found to be satisfactory. Installation of historical steam engine (1932) display is very fascinating.And this railway station is one of the cleanest railway station of Pakistan. The entrance, security check is perfect and in all means better than any other Railway station of Pakistan.
A very neat and clean railway station... But the train is late!!! As usual
Well developed & managed as compared to others
This is one of the cleanest railway station of Pakistan. The entrance, security check is perfect and in all means better than any other Railway station of Pakistan. One thing that could be improved is the quality of food available on food stalls. The external building is also beautiful and maintained. The old steam loco model adds the beauty of this station.
I have been traveling from Rawalpindi to Lahore since 2010, during my University tenure. Rawalpindi railway is a bit smaller than Lahore railway station, but it is the cleanest railway station of pakistan. There are around 4 to 5 platforms. The Newly built seatings are comfortable. Plus the weather every time is quite enjoyable.
Very well maintained.

Beautiful Station
I like the traveling in train
Historical building less rush and lush green station.
Rawalpindi Railway station has a lot of memories. The hustle and bustle at station and the noise of trains coming and going is so nostalgic. I think the station needs improvements in cleanliness and service with maintaining its traditional architecture. The trains are on time for last many years.

Rawalpindi Railways...
One of the oldest railway stations of Pakistan. Rawalpindi being a major ca to ment town of prepartition India, the Station was a significant one.Now a days a number of fast long distance trains originate and terminate here. Tezgam one of the oldest fastest and high class train start from this Station.
Railway station historic and still active..

These Railway Stations are good now than old ones but needs more reforms to getting better and then best.

A very historical place in the sub continent. It had a big importance in the era of British empire being Rawalpindi as an important cantonment. Still now a days it used as a vital role of travelling in through mail trains goods trains and express trains. It has good resting areas for the travelers, restaurants with good food to be served and many stalls of food, snacks, entertainment material, book stalls having collection of magazines, newspapers, novels etc.
