The Jaffar Express runs the same route
Pakistan Railways has operated the Jaffar Express between Peshawar and Quetta since 2003, covering the corridor by rail. On a route where the bus floor is Rs 6,900 and no berth is available, the train is worth pricing rather than assuming the coach is the default. Services have been subject to disruption, so confirm current operation before planning around it.
Via Zhob or via Dera Ghazi Khan
Operators take one of two quite different roads, and the difference matters more here than on most corridors.
The direct road
North east through Loralai and Zhob into Dera Ismail Khan, then up the Indus. Shorter and faster.
The longer way
East into south Punjab then north through the motorway network. Longer but better travelled.
Seated either way
The Balochistan sleeper specialists work the Karachi corridor only, so this route is seated whatever you pay.
Splitting at Dera Ismail Khan can save money
Quetta to Zhob runs from about Rs 3,800 and Dera Ismail Khan to Peshawar from around Rs 1,400 on the Indus corridor. That is well below the Rs 6,900 through fare, though it costs you two changes on quiet roads with limited frequency. Worth considering only if you are flexible on time.
