In a bid to enhance travel experiences, Pakistan Railways is introducing dining cars, onboard kitchens, and free services on select trains, as reported.
The Pakistan Express, Karachi Express, and Millat Express will soon feature dedicated dining coaches, while the Jaffar Express will be upgraded with a fully-equipped kitchen onboard.
Passengers traveling between Lahore and Rawalpindi on trains like Subak Raftar, Subak Kharam, Islamabad Express, and Rawal Express can now enjoy free onboard services, making their journey more comfortable and enjoyable.
To support the smooth rollout of these new services, Pakistan Railways has issued a tender to outsource catering operations. Interested catering firms have been invited to submit their technical and financial proposals by August 5, 2025.
This move is part of a larger effort to modernize train services and offer passengers—especially those on long-distance and intercity routes—a more comfortable, convenient, and high-quality travel experience.
