Green Line is considered Pakistan’s first ever modern train which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif during his tenure. Its timing, affordable fares and services makes it a state-of-the-art passenger service.
The Greenline train, as it has been termed, covers the Karachi-Islamabad route in 22 hours. The train provides state-of-the-art services to the passengers including:
- comfortable sleepers
- WiFi
- 3 quality meals
- Tea
- Bottled water
- Newspapers
- Standard bedding
- Air conditioned rooms.
The toilets had been developed far better than any train in Pakistan. This train service reflects the efforts of Railways Minister and Pakistan Railways.
The train will leave Margalla Railway Station at 3 PM and will reach Karachi at 12:30 PM the next day. The train will stop at Rawalpindi, Lahore, Khanewal, Bahawalpur, Rohri and Hyderabad stations during the journey.
The passengers will have the facility of online booking and e-ticketing. All passengers have also been insured for a million rupees. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif also informed at his address at the inauguration ceremony that a train service from Kashgar to Karachi was also under consideration. He also wished to link Turkey with Pakistan in the future.
