Train operations in Pakistan continue to face setbacks as heavy rains and flooding hamper travel across the country. Pakistan Railways announced on Tuesday that two major passenger services will not run as scheduled.
The Pak Business Express was called off today after railway officials cited a sharp drop in passenger numbers. In addition, the Shah Hussain Express has been suspended for the next four days and is expected to resume on September 6, 2025.
To manage the disruption, passengers of the Pak Business Express are being shifted to the Karakoram Express, while those holding tickets for the Shah Hussain Express will be adjusted on the Green Line Express.
The railways spokesperson urged travelers to stay in contact with local reservation offices for assistance and further guidance.
Meanwhile, Pakistan Railways is also working on new measures to improve local travel. A dedicated service between Islamabad and Rawalpindi is in the pipeline, a decision taken at a recent meeting in Lahore chaired by Railways Minister Hanif Abbasi with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi in attendance.
