Flood-hit Lahore-Faisalabad rail link to reopen November 15
Pakistan Railways says Lahore-Faisalabad train service will return once the flood-damaged Massan Kalar Bridge near Sheikhupura is repaired and a trial train has run.
Pakistan Railways will restore Lahore-Faisalabad train service from November 15, 2026.
The route has been suspended since severe flooding in August damaged railway infrastructure.
The Massan Kalar Bridge near Sheikhupura is nearly restored, and a trial train will run first.
Lahore Railways puts the restoration cost at around Rs. 455 million.
Shalimar, Badar, Ghauri and Karakoram Express trains use the route.
