Pakistan Railways (PR) has released the time schedule of Karachi Circular Railway (KCR) which is all set to resume operations from tomorrow (Nov 18).
According to the details, the first train will depart from Orangi Railway Station at 6:30 am on Thursday for the up track while the local train on down track will depart from Marshalling Yard Pipri Railway Station at 7 am.
The railway authorities have decided to run each train from both stations after every three hours.
Stopovers of the train include Manghopir, SITE, Shah Abdul Latif, Baldia, Lyari, Wazir Mansion, Karachi City Station, Karachi Cantt Station, Departure Yard, Drigh Road, Drigh Colony, Airport, Malir Colony, Malir, Landhi, Jumma Goth, Bin Qasim and Baldia Nullah before reaching the Pipri station at 9:15 am.
The second train will leave Orangi Railway Station at 10 am; third at 1 pm and fourth at 4 pm.
For the down track, the local train will depart from Marshalling Yard railway station at 7 am, covering the same stops to reach Orangi railway station at 09:45 am while the second train will leave the Marshalling Station at 9:30 am; third at 1 pm and fourth at 4:30 pm.
It may be mentioned here that a one-sided journey on the train has been fixed at Rs50 for passengers.
I was wondering if trackers could be installed in each of the KCR trains so that one May plan a journey to.any destination. It would be very inappropriate to go and wait for a train.
My next point is crossings like Gulbai and site roads should not be closed at random when a crossing is anticipated. It would take only 15 minutes.for a massive road jam. If the train simply stops and slowly pushes ahead it would take just 5 minutes for each crossing. This train is a need for our masses. I pray to Allah for its success. Ameen.
Thanks for shaikh Rasheed sahab for starting karachi circular railway

We are very much happy after the revival of Karachi Circular Railway, i must say thanks to Prime Minister Imran Khan, and the Railway Minister Mr Sheikh Rasheed and other Gorvernment Officials, we must say to those who are critisizing the initiative that someone is there who realize the real problem of transport for Karachi people.
At the end i hope that the route will be cleared for all track for Karachi Circular railway and it must be modernized over the period of time. God bless Pakistan, Pakistan Zindabad.
I must request to the public of Karachi who are travelling in KCR to take care of the train regarding neat and cleaning of the coaches, and please purchase the ticket so that it can earn profit and subsequently improvement in the service of KCR.
Thanks to PM IMRAN khan its very good desigion and provide feciletate to Karachi power people
