The Greenline Train between Islamabad and Karachi was opened today by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
The Green Line train would stop in Rawalpindi, Chaklala, Lahore, Khanewal, Bahawalpur, Rohri, Hyderabad, and Drug Road after leaving Margalla station, according to a news release from Pakistan Railways (PR).
Brand-new bogies that were recently imported from China will power this train. The government made a point of stating that the Green Line turnaround time, which is currently fixed at 22 hours, will be significantly shortened.
The price of the ticket will now cover breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner under the orders of the Minister of Railways, Khawaja Saad Rafiq. Additionally, each guest will receive premium bedding and an amenity kit.
A committee headed by the Additional General Manager of Traffic has been established by Pakistan Railways’ Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in order to assure the success of the train and the quality of the service.
Salman Sadiq Shaikh, the CEO of Railways, claims that the Green Line will redefine PR and that other trains of this calibre will be added in the future.
