Pakistan Railways has completed major upgrades at Lahore Railway Station, introducing several new facilities to improve the travel experience for passengers.
The development follows instructions from Railways Minister Muhammad Hanif Abbasi and includes enhancements focused on both comfort and accessibility.
A new lounge for Commercially Important Persons (CIP) has been set up to cater to business and premium travelers, with seating for 70 people. In addition, two air-conditioned waiting areas have been established, offering space for 250 passengers in total.
These include separate halls for families (100 seats), women (70 seats), and men (80 seats). Platforms 2 and 4 have been equipped with water coolers to provide clean drinking water.
Four escalators have also been installed at the same platforms to assist the elderly, women, and passengers carrying heavy bags.
To improve the station’s commercial setup, six new fibre-based stalls have been introduced. The main porch area has been converted into a dedicated family waiting zone, featuring three air conditioners, two upgraded washrooms, and an LED screen.
Additional upgrades include a new ATM in partnership with Habib Bank and SMD screens in the porch area to provide live updates on train arrivals and departures.

No new more comfortable train needed no upgradation of Lahore Railway station needed but the condition of existing train coaches and weaker tracks in Sindh should be upgraded on highest priority basis.
Then make dreams in to reality such as motorway Lahore to Karachi, double the Train tracks where it is still single even after 78 years of independence.
Instead of upgrading railway stations… upgrade trains which are as pathetic as anything…upgrade the salaries/wages of porters…
Worst upgrade in my view, what do you mean by premium travelers and CIP.
N league always focus Lahore rest of Punjab n league play role of second mother.
We are still behind the world in train services and it’s infrastructure, the condition of coaches and it’s seats are miserable, the washroom are shameful. Timing of trains arrival and departure not punctual.trains are not clean as it must be cleaned. All in all we well behind even third world countries. It must be get better
I really appreciate the upgradation of Lahore Railway station which was long awaited.If you compare with the international railway stations they are far much beautiful and comfortable. We should try to bring it upto that level.
WiFi Connections must also be provided….
