How late is it, usually?

median per recorded stop arrival

Every figure here is a median, not an average: why we publish a median, not an average. What counts as on time, and why some figures here are blank, is set out in what on time means here, and every threshold behind it.

8 days of recorded arrivals.

Over 11 recorded arrivals (8 Aug – 7 Oct 2026), Bahauddin Zikria Express 26DN has typically reached Karachi City around 10:59 the day after it leaves — on the worst one run in ten, past 13:33 the day after it leaves, at Karachi City itself. Today's run: track it live →

The “At Karachi City” tile above is the arrival at the end of the run; “Typical delay, any stop” averages every stop including the earlier ones, so it usually reads smaller. Where the time goes, below, shows every stop we have recorded.

How long does it take?

scheduled vs recorded

Scheduled 16h 55m — Multan Cantt to Karachi City. Typically 18h 59m, 2h 04m longer.

Timetable: out 16:00, in at 08:55 the next day — one night on board.

What these figures cover
  • Scheduled — the current timetable, Multan Cantt 16:00 to Karachi City 08:55 the next day
  • Typical journey — from the scheduled departure to the recorded arrival at Karachi City; the median of 11 runs
  • Bad day — 21h 33m at the 90th percentile: nine runs in ten come in under it
  • Keyline — the scheduled time. The solid bar is the typical journey, the faint bar behind it the bad day.
  • Recorded arrivals: 8 August to 7 October 2026.
  • End to end. For a shorter leg, the stop times are in the timetable below.

What the marks mean
  • Solid bar — the typical delay at that stop (median of recorded arrivals)
  • Faint bar behind — the bad day (90th percentile): worse than nine tenths of recorded arrivals here
  • No faint bar — fewer than 7 recorded arrivals at that stop, too thin for a 90th percentile. The solid bar can still show: it needs only 3.
  • — (no solid bar either) — fewer than 3 recorded runs at that stop
  • A negative figure means the train typically ran early at that stop, not late
  • Band — the shortest and the longest stand recorded at that stop. The train has left as early as the first figure.
  • Keyline — the scheduled stop, arrival to departure on the timetable below.
  • Why a train stands is not recorded — a crossing, a loco change and a red signal all look the same on the clock.
  • The five stops that stand longest past the timetable, not every stop — most routes have more. A stop qualifies with 7 or more runs timed in and out, and is skipped where the timetable books no stop, books one over an hour, or where any recorded stand ran past three hours.
  • Most time is lost between Multan Cantt and Shujabad (+1h 39m)
  • Every stop on the current timetable is listed, in order, measured or not.

Common questions

Is Bahauddin Zikria Express 26DN usually late?

Typically 124 minutes late arriving at Karachi City, measured across 11 recorded arrivals (8 Aug – 7 Oct 2026). That is the median, so half its runs were better than that and half were worse. It is what we recorded happening, not what the timetable books.

How late is Bahauddin Zikria Express 26DN on a bad day?

On the worst one run in ten, 278 minutes late into Karachi City, against a typical 124 minutes late. Both come from the same 11 recorded arrivals. A bad day is not the worst day we have ever seen; it is the level one run in ten reaches or passes.

What time does Bahauddin Zikria Express 26DN leave Multan Cantt?

16:00, on the current published timetable. It is booked into Karachi City at 08:55, the day after it leaves. Those are booked times. The delay figures on this page are what we recorded against them.

How long does Bahauddin Zikria Express 26DN take from Multan Cantt to Karachi City?

16h 55m on the timetable. In practice a typical run has taken 18h 59m, measured from recorded arrivals at Karachi City.

How many stops does Bahauddin Zikria Express 26DN make?

26 on the current published timetable, from Multan Cantt to Karachi City. The full stop list, with the times booked at each one, is in the timetable on this page. Not every stop is recorded on every run: we publish arrivals we actually observed rather than filling the gaps.

Where is Bahauddin Zikria Express 26DN right now?

The live tracker for this train shows its last reported position and how late it was running at its most recent recorded stop. Position comes from the operator's own feed. When a train is not reporting we say so rather than estimating where it might be.
