Pakistan Railways has announced a revised winter schedule for train operations across the country, which has come into effect from today.
According to an official statement, minor adjustments have been made to the departure timings of 16 trains, while three trains have had certain station stops removed from their routes. Four previously suspended trains have also been restored and included in the new timetable.
Under the new schedule, the Allama Iqbal Express will now depart from Sialkot at 7:30 a.m. instead of 7:00 a.m., and the Narowal Passenger Train will leave at 7:25 a.m. instead of 7:00 a.m. Similarly, the Faiz Ahmed Faiz Passenger Train will now depart from Narowal at 5:00 a.m., half an hour earlier than before.
The Awam Express will leave Karachi at 8:00 a.m. instead of 7:30 a.m., while the Shalimar Express will depart from Lahore at 7:10 a.m. instead of 7:30 a.m.
In addition, nine trains that previously had temporary stops at various stations have now been granted permanent stops. These include the Rehman Baba Express, Karachi Express, Shalimar Express, Jaffar Express, Pak Business Express, Pakpattan Express, Tezgam, and Millat Express.

Under revised train time table ,Allama Iqbal Express will depart from SLK at 7.30. a.m instead of 7.00 a.m. Narowal passenger will leave lahore at 7.25 a.m instead of 7.00 a.m but surpringly Faiz Ahmad will leave Narowal at 5.00 a.m. instead of previous departure 5.30 a.m.
Putting Faiz Ahmad Faiz half an hour earlier in the winter , looks not a wise decision.It may not only cause financial loss to the Railway department by diversion of traffic to road but also cause inconvenience to the passengers particularly to those belonging to rural area.
If deemed fit,Railway Officers may like to review their decision relating Faiz Ahmad Faiz departure from Narowal.
