What the marks mean
- Departs · Arrives — scheduled local times, published Pakistan Railways timetable
- +1d — a stop on a later day of the train's own run, not a date
- Typical delay · On-time — the train's whole journey, not this segment alone; typical is the median of its recorded stop arrivals, and on-time is within 15 minutes of the scheduled time
- — — fewer than 7 days of recorded runs for that train
- Over this leg — the change in each train's delay between the two stations above, counted on runs recorded at both (a run whose two stations were logged a day apart is matched too, when that day-shifted leg length matches the train's usual one). “adds” means the train picked up extra delay over this stretch; “makes up” means it arrived less late than it left; “no change” means neither. The figure shown is the middle (median) run: no more than half of a train's counted runs did WORSE than it, and no more than half did better — never a claim that exactly half did either, which isn't always possible to state.
- A large “makes up” usually says more about the leg than the train: where several services on this page all recover time, the stretch is booked with room in it. It never means the train ran early — only that it was less late arriving than departing.
- — — in that column: fewer than 7 runs recorded at both stations on the leg's usual booked times, or — permanently, for a train whose journey starts at this page's origin station — no booked arrival there to measure from at all, which will not fill in with more archive age.
Every service in detail
Typical delay and on-time share are the train's whole journey, from 7+ days of recorded runs. Over this leg is the change in that train's delay between the two stations, from runs recorded at both.

Common questions
How many trains run from Bahawalpur to Karachi Cantt?
17 scheduled services on the current published timetable. That is what is booked to run, not what ran today.
Which is the fastest train from Bahawalpur to Karachi Cantt?
Shah Hussain Express 44DN, booked at 12h 24m for the journey. That is the timetable's figure. Whether it holds on the day is what the delay columns describe.
Which train from Bahawalpur to Karachi Cantt is most likely to be on time?
Shalimar Express 28DN has the best recorded punctuality of the services we hold enough history for: 44% of its recorded stop arrivals were within 15 minutes of schedule, with a typical delay of 22 min. That is its record across every stop of its full journey, not this leg alone. Measured from recorded runs, not from the timetable. 14 of 17 services on this route currently have enough recorded history to rank at all.
Is there an overnight train from Bahawalpur to Karachi Cantt?
Yes. 11 of the 17 scheduled services are booked to arrive on a later day than they depart: Hazara Express 12DN, Shalimar Express 28DN, Khyber Mail 2DN, Fareed Express 38DN and others.
Do trains lose time between Bahawalpur and Karachi Cantt?
Typically yes. Millat Express 18DN adds about 2h 21m to its delay over this leg, measured across 23 recorded runs. That is the CHANGE over the leg, not how late the train arrives: a train can run late its whole journey and add nothing here.
How far is it from Bahawalpur to Karachi Cantt by train?
It is between 823 and 830 km along the track, depending on the service. Measured by summing our own GPS traces of trains running the route, not the straight-line distance between the two stations, which is always shorter than the rails. That is measured on 12 of the 17 services; the rest of the track on this route has not been traced yet.
Are these Bahawalpur to Karachi Cantt timings the real arrival times?
No. The departure and arrival columns are what the published timetable books. The delay columns beside them are what we recorded actually happening, from the operator's own reports and from GPS traces of the trains. Where a delay figure is blank we do not yet hold enough recorded runs to publish one.
