Which operators run Trains services in Pakistan?

What is the longest Trains route in Pakistan?

The longest Trains route we sell touching Pakistan runs from Karachi to Rawalpindi, 1,134 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 169 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.

Where these numbers come from

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.
