Mehr Express Train Ticket Price, Route, Timing & Online Booking
The Mehr Express train ticket price starts at about Rs 1,400 for economy and reaches Rs 3,200 for AC Standard between Multan and Rawalpindi. It covers the 559 km run in around 14 and a half hours with 36 stops, through Kot Addu, Bhakkar and Kundian. Mehr Express takes the Thal line rather than the main line, serving desert towns that no express reaches.
