Pakistan Railways has announced a new timetable for the winter season of 2025. The updated schedule includes changes in departure and arrival times along with adjustments to train routes and frequency. These changes have been made to match shorter daylight hours and to deal with weather conditions that affect train movement during the colder months. The new winter schedule is designed to improve punctuality and make travel safer and more comfortable for passengers. With the chances of fog and low visibility during winter the updated timing will help trains operate more smoothly and reduce unexpected delays.
This decision is part of Pakistan Railways ongoing effort to provide reliable transportation and better manage services according to seasonal conditions across the country.
Key Changes and Operational Updates
Under the new timetable many long distance trains will now start earlier in the day or finish their trips before the evening fog begins. Some routes with fewer passengers may have reduced frequency or combined services to make better use of available resources. Pakistan Railways has also increased maintenance work during the winter months to ensure trains remain in good condition. Heating lighting and safety systems have been checked and updated to provide a more comfortable experience for travelers. Stations located in colder regions will have extra staff to manage fog and frost related delays.
Passengers are advised to confirm train timings before traveling as several departure and arrival schedules have been changed to fit the new winter plan.

Effect on Passengers and Service Quality
The new winter schedule aims to make train travel easier safer and more reliable for passengers. Trains will now run with better timing and fewer delays caused by weather conditions. The changes will also help reduce waiting times at stations especially during early morning and late evening hours.
For Pakistan Railways this step will improve the use of resources and allow better management of train operations during the low visibility season. It will also help ensure that maintenance and safety checks are carried out without interrupting daily services.
