Pakistan Express’s near-twin
On the sectors they share, Hazara Express matches Pakistan Express in economy and is Rs 200 dearer in AC Standard to Rawalpindi. The reason to pick it is the northern extension to Havelian, which saves a road transfer for anyone heading to Abbottabad or beyond.
On the outsourcing list
After the June 2026 handover of five trains to private operators, Pakistan Railways began tendering 11 to 15 more, and Hazara Express is among them. Fares stay on the PR scale under that model, but the operator and booking channel could change.
