A stop on the way to somewhere else
Sheikhupura sits on the road towards Faisalabad and near the M-2 interchange, so a good number of the coaches that pass through are not serving it at all. That is useful if you want a scheduled AC vehicle rather than a wagon: several Faisalabad and Sargodha services will set you down, and on a fifty minute journey the fare difference between that and a local wagon is small enough to be worth it in summer.
The journey is shorter than the trip to the terminal
Forty kilometres is close enough that how you get out of Lahore matters more than which coach you take. That shapes every sensible decision on this route.
Straightforward
If you are near Shahdara or the Sheikhupura Road side of the city, local transport gets you moving within minutes and the whole trip is under an hour.
Check the maths
Branded coaches board at Thokar Niaz Baig. Reaching it from central or eastern Lahore can take as long as the journey to Sheikhupura itself.
Nankana Sahib and Hiran Minar
Hiran Minar sits just outside Sheikhupura, and Nankana Sahib is a further 40 km. Both are reached by local transport on arrival rather than through-booked.
What we would do
Take whatever leaves soonest from the nearest stand. On a fifty minute journey there is nothing a branded coach can offer that justifies an extra forty minutes crossing Lahore to board it. The exception is high summer, when an air conditioned vehicle is worth a short detour, and travelling with luggage, when a reserved seat beats a wagon.
