New coaches inducted with Pakistan Express

Pakistan Express has been inducted with new coaches each refurbished at the rate Rs.11 million. The train connects Punjab with Sindh (Rawalpindi to Karachi via Faisalabad). The carriages of Pakistan Express had been overhauled at the Railways Carriage Factory in Islamabad around five to seven years ago and had recently undergone maintenance at the Railways Carriage Shop, at Mughalpura in Lahore. The refurbishment of these carriages cost Rs11 million per coach. By comparison, a new carriage costs Rs80 million. The old coaches of the train have been replaced with reconditioned carriages. Moreover, the old bogies had been equipped with 110 volts power supply which will now be switched to 220 volts, provided through a dedicated power plant.
