Lahore to Multan Train Timings and Fare 2026: All 6 Trains and Every Class

Six trains run from Lahore to Multan Cantt every day, from Musa Pak Express at 00:30 to Awam Express at 18:55. Musa Pak is both the cheapest and the fastest: Rs 1,150 in economy and 4 hours 30 minutes. Tezgam, Jaffar Express and Karachi Express charge Rs 1,900 in economy, and Khyber Mail and Awam Express charge Rs 1,400.

We read every time and fare below on the official Pakistan Railways booking system on 4 November 2026, for travel on 7 November 2026. The route is short, so most trains take about five hours. The real difference is the departure time and the fare, which ranges from Rs 1,150 to Rs 5,400 depending on the train and class. Below are both directions and every class we could read.

Lahore to Multan trains leave from 00:30 to 18:55

Six trains leave Lahore Junction for Multan Cantt. Musa Pak leaves just after midnight, Khyber Mail in the morning, and four trains leave between 13:45 and 18:55. Journey times run from 4 hours 30 minutes to 5 hours 50 minutes.

Multan to Lahore trains leave from 01:10 to 16:00

Six trains run back from Multan Cantt to Lahore. Awam Express leaves first at 01:10 and Musa Pak leaves last at 16:00. Karachi Express is the quickest in this direction at 4 hours 45 minutes. Fares match the Lahore to Multan direction.

For a morning trip to Lahore with a full day there, Jaffar Express at 04:20 or Karachi Express at 08:15 work best. For a same day return, Musa Pak at 16:00 gets you back to Lahore by 21:00.

Fares run from Rs 1,150 to Rs 5,400 by class

Economy costs Rs 1,150 on Musa Pak, Rs 1,400 on Khyber Mail and Awam, and Rs 1,900 on the other three. An AC Standard berth costs Rs 2,000 to Rs 2,750. The highest fare is Rs 5,400 for an AC Sleeper on Tezgam, Jaffar or Karachi Express.

Musa Pak is the value pick. Its AC Business seat at Rs 2,300 costs only Rs 400 more than an economy seat on Tezgam. On our search, Musa Pak's AC Business was Rs 100 cheaper than its AC Parlor, which is how the booking system showed it. Our guide to Pakistan Railways train classes explains what each class gives you.

Sleeper berths are the first to go

On the day we checked, for travel three days later, economy and AC Standard had seats on every train. AC Sleeper was nearly gone everywhere. From Lahore, Khyber Mail had 1 sleeper berth left, Jaffar 2, Tezgam 3 and Karachi Express 4.

From Multan, Tezgam had no AC Business seats left, and Musa Pak had only 12 AC Standard berths. Seat counts change all day, so check the booking screen for your own date. A sleeper on a five hour trip is a luxury anyway. On a night train like Musa Pak at 00:30, a berth in AC Standard at Rs 2,000 lets you lie down for much less.
