Faisalabad, not Lahore
Pakistan Express takes the Khanewal to Shorkot to Faisalabad line north, rejoining the main line further up. It does not call at Lahore, so it is no use for Lahore passengers, but it is one of the three trains currently serving Faisalabad from Karachi now that Karakoram Express is diverted via Sahiwal.
AC on a budget
At Rs 10,250 to Rawalpindi, its AC Standard is Rs 200 below Hazara Express, Rs 500 below Awam Express and Rs 2,000 below Green Line. For anyone who wants air conditioning but not the price of AC Business, it is the answer on this route.
