— means fewer than 3 runs recorded here so far, or (at a train's starting station) a platform-berth figure we don't publish.
+1d and +2d mark a stop on a later day of the train's own run, not a later date. At Margala, +1d means the stop falls a day after the train set out from its own origin — not tomorrow's date at this station.
What the marks mean
- Arrival · Departure — scheduled local times, published Pakistan Railways timetable
- +1d, +2d — the stop falls on the 2nd (or 3rd) day of the train's own run, counting from the day it starts. It is not a date.
- Usually late here — the median delay at Margala itself over its recorded arrivals: half of its recorded arrivals were later than this. Recorded history, not today's status, and not the delay at the train's destination. A negative figure means the train typically ran early.
- Up · Down — direction as published by Pakistan Railways
