LAHORE, Sept 12: Routes of two express trains have been changed while the operation of another cancelled after the suspension of rail traffic on the Hyderabad-Karachi section with immediate effect.

“The revised schedule is likely to remain in force for about a week till a temporary bridge is constructed between Ran Pathani and Dhabeji stations in Thatta district,” officials said on Tuesday.

The Balochistan Express (31-Up/32-Down) would now be operating via Jacobabad, Larkana and Dadu instead of Rohi while Rohri would be the first and the last stop for Farid Express (37-Pp/38-Down) instead of Hyderabad. The operation of Sukkur Express had been cancelled.

“Passengers of these trains who want to get their reservations cancelled would get full refund,” officials said.
