How late is it, usually?
median per recorded stop arrivalEvery 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.
7 days of recorded arrivals.
Over 19 recorded arrivals (1 Aug – 6 Oct 2026), Rawalpindi Passenger 268DN has typically reached Rawalpindi around 23:52 the day it leaves — on the worst one run in ten, past 01:15 the day after it leaves, at Rawalpindi itself.
The “At Rawalpindi” 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.

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 Taxila Cantt and Golra Sharif (+18 min)
- Every stop on the current timetable is listed, in order, measured or not.
