On the Kharian road

Wazirabad matters to rail travellers more than most GT Road towns: it is the junction where the branch to Sialkot leaves the main line, so it is a common change point for anyone heading on to Sialkot or Narowal by train.

By road, coaches coming north from Lahore reach Wazirabad just after crossing the Chenab at the edge of Gujranwala district. Tell the conductor early, as GT Road coaches do not always pull off for small stops.
