This train used to take 3 hours 30 minutes back in 2005/6. But then an accident happened in the potohar region where the train derailed on a steep curve. The average speed used to be 120kph but after that accident they reduced the speed a lot. Especially in the potohar region where in some sections the speed is maximum 65~70kph. There are plans to upgrade the infrastructure to dual lane and reduce the amount of curves in the track. Lets see how many centuries it takes to do that :)

As an Indian, seeing Chai for Rs 100 gives a bit of a heart attack, cuz it's about Rs 10-15 in India. It was after seeing the £0.28 that I realised the crash of Pakistani Rupees. £0.28 would be about Rs 28 in India, approx, which is still an expensive Tea, but at least not hilarious.

There doesn't seem to be a direct flight, so they just have buses to compete with.

It’s due to old interlocking system not being replaced and long length of the trains in this part of the world .. so due to multiple tracks and multiple old interlocking .. trains usually ply at the restricted speed as they have to snake 🐍 through from multiple loop lines on to the mainline … and the longer the train, the longer time it will take to cross the speed restricted section .. same happens at New Delhi station towards Sadar Bajar .. the bigger the station more would be track criss crossings and struggle to get on the mainline …

That's strange! When I visited my train did hit lightspeed!

[@kamlasingh6273]

Indian Kashmir have better Railway than whole Pakistan 😂😂

[@prashantmishra9985]

Well, I agree with this

[@PradhanmantriBruhh]

Indian Kashmir one is also pretty recent. I don't think it's fair comparison.

[@nikhilv4499]

thats reality bro because indian kashmir hjas better rail way than remote area of india bcz kashmir railway lines are built recent decades

[@AliPlays381]

Bhai hum train pa safar he nhi karta buses pa karta ha ya aeroplane sa

[@IsuruSandaruwan-xk2mr]

Lol poor Pajeeet think they have the best trains 😂

[@ADARSH-qc7iq]

Which railways was better? Indian or Pakistan?

[@mahinegi3064]

both are 🤮🤮

[@tanmayadas68]

​@@mahinegi3064Indian is far superior than Pakistan , and Indian railways is going through a rapid modernization.

[@howmanybeansmakefive]

Thank you for this beautifully atmospheric video and this intimate perspective of rail travel in Pakistan. Though as a brit-pak, I have to say I find it quite melancholic. I can't help but see the lost past/future that could have been - the old grand station in disrepair with non-functioning ticketing and ads instead of a departure board, the aged 'super deluxe parlour' class, old semaphores, decaying tracks and trains, an unconnected Islamabad/RP/Lahore - each the result of decades upon decades of mismanagement/myopia/incompetence, and a corrupt contemptuous elite that have looted the country and its people. prob doesn't help i nearly fell into a moving shithole of doom on one too lol. As a kid, I had to take a shiet and the the toilet was just a (pretty big) hole, from which you could see straight through to the tracks hurtling by underneath, and with the floor heavily 'lubricated' as you approached it with nothing to hold onto. While squatting I could barely stay balanced/align my butt with the hole, the bumpy train could barely stay aligned with the tracks, and the previous users weren't very successful either :s

[@SuperalbsTravels]

Yeah, I hope one day they work to make things as amazing as they could be! And your story sounds grim! 😂

[@theF_Zone]

I absolutely love your videos! Not only for the trains but also just to see different parts the world. It is absolutely crazy to me that I (as someone very interested in geography) have never heard of Lahore despites its population being more then 4 times the one of the city I live in!

[@SuperalbsTravels]

Thank you very much! And that is crazy haha, there are some very big cities in this part of the world that many people from afar have probably never heard of!

[@maleeshapriyanjana7604]

Very wonderful video. Specially the railway station in lahore is very beautiful and very unique. But I wonder why there were barb wires and obstructles placed infront of station?. Anyhow Pakistan has very beautiful scenery.

[@hamix0137]

7:10 maximum speed is actually around 117-120 kmh not 100km

[@adnanvictor1601]

only green line has miximum speed around 117 to 120km/h not every train specially this train buddy

[@hamix0137]

also tezgam and karakorum@@adnanvictor1601

[@2010azyy]

Wrong, some trains are maxed out at 110kmh, and some trains go to 117kmh ​@@adnanvictor1601

[@PakRaillionProductions]

Thanks alot for visiting & covering pak rail

[@PeterClarke-p2r]

I mean, screw the condition of the railways and trains..... what would you expect??? YOUR contribution showed it all in a best possible light. Well done

[@SuperalbsTravels]

I like showing the good side :)

[@Oivaras]

Which language did you use on this journey, to talk to locals and (at 8:22) to armed guards? Which languages do you usually use on these foreign trips?

[@amberlight5830]

English.

Can't believe there was someone on a motorbike just casually sat in the 4 foot

[@SuperalbsTravels]

I am happy to, I really enjoyed my visit! 😁

[@neeha9449]

Some parts of your videos, when paired with the correct music is just pure "adventurous spirit" vibes and I love it, you seem to enjoy it very much too. Would really love to enjoy adventures like yours too! ❤

[@SuperalbsTravels]

Thank you so much, I really am grateful to be able to do what I do! :)

[@Khadim_Shariff]

Wonderful video! Happy to have found your channel. Very unfortunate to see racist comments however. It saddens me that people generalise a whole nation based upon a small minority of bad apples.

[@michaelpowell3980]

2:16 reminded me of Liverpool Street back in the 80s!

[@SuperalbsTravels]

Hahahaha wow! Lahore Jn reminds me of Chester station actually.

[@prettymiffedbrit]

When I was just over the border in Amritsar some 5 years ago, it was foggy all the time. My flight was nearly cancelled because of it. But the Waga border is fantastic!

[@snusun]

i just watch both bald and simon wilson and also ben appeared sometimes. did you ride the pakistan train together?

[@gamerxd1216]

you added missa keswal station footage but you ignored gujar khan station footage , well that missa keswal lies within the boundary of gujar khan.

[@SuperalbsTravels]

I don't film everything, sometimes I relax. :)

[@gargidas5548]

Bro can u ride a ukrzaliznytsia's ЭР-2/EP-2 commuter train

[@PakRailography]

Excellent foggy ride and great review..

[@SuperalbsTravels]

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed! 😁

[@sthakur247]

You reminded me the 80's train journeys in India. Pakistan Railway is in very bad condition. Lack of emotions towards the nation building caused this situation. Very sad.

[@praneethkeerthi]

is that the same locomotive used in Caltrain or MBTA?

[@SuperalbsTravels]

Doubt it, these are unique to Pakistan I think.

[@praneethkeerthi]

@@SuperalbsTravels thanks big fan of your videos ❤️

[@SuperalbsTravels]

@@praneethkeerthi Thank you!! :)

[@tarkatan971]

the best train with the best view is the doğu ekspresi or the eastern express in Turkish. The travel is 27 hours long from Ankara to Kars. Should give it a try

[@rahuliyer7456]

Interesting. The train in India/Pakistan that interests me more so is the Samjauta Express. I want to travel by it some day. Lahore to Delhi.

[@YASHDWIVEDI-nr6ib]

Are you still living in 1950 ? There is no train in Delhi which go to Lahore

[@kozakura1]

What a dump. Mad respect to you for traveling to these places so we don't have to 🤣

[@evilandrew1097]

They r going to have sleepless night since you are not going over there 🤣🤣

Is this a response to Simon Wilson?

No? What do you mean?

[@arch9enius]

The mist really improved those shots of Lahore station if you ask me. Also , it saves on processor power!

[@SuperalbsTravels]

I agree, it was very atmospheric there! 😁

[@arghyadas2447]

I wish to watch Lahore station someday.. The architecture is interesting! Just maintainance and cleanliness is necessary to make it a tourist spot in itself...

[@PradhanmantriBruhh]

Ikr, loved the architecture

[@himankaroy3775]

Lahore station architecture reminds me of Barrackpore station

[@stealthattack2209]

4:41 There was a delay of only 1 minute? Bloody heck that is a miracle lol

[@sempertalis1230]

I would say as with all of those places you need to know which areas to avoid and you are save. I traveled Afrika and the Arab country's without problems.

[@yussafmalik7712]

From what I gathered from family. People use air conditioned bus coaches more than train. It more modern and some are as good as plane business class. They run between cities.

[@kieranstravels]

Albie, this is your greatest video yet! It's really interesting to see a non biased western view of this part of the world, the only other creator I know of that does so is Bald and Bankrupt. Would you consider doing more of these?

[@Gashiisback657]

I still dont understand why there were barricades at the station with barbed wire?????? can someone explain me please btw love the landscape of gujranwala love from india

[@pooki-dooki]

I love your videos but please never do the awful one-word-at-a-time massive bold TikTok subtitles again. Super distracting, annoying, and unnecessary. My attention span is longer than 10 milliseconds, I promise you.

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

It’s so sad that because of the ongoing political situation spanning many decades, Pakistan is so dangerous to travel through an otherwise beautiful country and that it needs armed guards on its railways - I have many Pakistani friends here in the U.K. and they confirm many of the things seen in this video, even though there was once a time that Pakistan was very careful about its international reputation - seeing the levels of poverty that so many ordinary Pakistani people are forced to endure within Pakistan itself is horrifying

[@Saurabh_Utter-Pradesh]

A notion formed on basis of hatred can't survive.
