The revamped train will feature free Wi-Fi, a state-of-the-art dining car, and modern onboard amenities matching international standards. While the upgraded services promise greater comfort and technology, officials have yet to disclose whether ticket fares will be revised. This initiative is part of a broader effort by Pakistan Railways to modernize its infrastructure. The online ticketing and live train tracking apps are also being enhanced, and escalators have been installed at Lahore Railway Station to ease passenger movement.
