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.

Do trains lose time between Pattoki and Karachi Cantt?
Typically yes. Khyber Mail 2DN adds about 2h 05m to its delay over this leg, measured across 11 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 Pattoki to Karachi Cantt by train?
It is between 1,136 and 1,184 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.
Are these Pattoki 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.
