Man Pakistan really has only managed to maintain British era infrastructure with no new improvements. While the poverty is sad to see, the positive attitude of the people is uplifting. There's something about wealth that generally makes people in better off countries really indifferent/ apathetic.
We always complain about trains in India, but after watching Pakistani trains or overall it's train infrastructure, it feels India has made quite some progress in last 15 years, Though it needs massive investments in High Speed trains over the next decades.
Great one 👌 It's a country that I probably won't be able to visit anytime soon (for obvious reasons 🤷🏽♂️😅), but the vlogs covering it are fun & interesting to see. Excited for the upcoming ones...
My son, while listening in when I was watching this video... Son: 'How come that in some countries, some people are very rich, and others are very poor?' I: 'Well, do you want to give your money to other people?' Son: 'No.' I: 'There you go.' Yes, it's disturbing to see, and I don't see a quick way out for Pakistan. High birth rates, high illiteracy, volatile politics, and a generally unstable part of the world. You can easily find friendly people everywhere, and still it may not be a good idea to go, as exemplified by the constant police presence.
@@NonstopEurotrip Pakistani politicians only serve their own interests and class, and the people are just their profit-making tools. It is very abhorrent.
That lad in the dining car looks and sounds a lot younger than 18. As a civil engineer in the British rail industry, it's surprising, and also heart warming, to see how much old technology remains on the Pakistani railway, from semaphore signals to manually controlled switches and crossings. They're nearly extinct in the UK now, save for a few of the older lines. This journey looks wonderful and the people are warm and hospitable. It's such a pity that you needed a police escort, but he is a warm and hospitable man too. Thank you for uploading this journey.

Hello. I have several questions. that policeman was supposed to go with you to Karachi itself? if so, did you have to feed and feed him? and how was he supposed to get home? and do you think they were supposed to protect you from Pakistan or the other way around?
Watching this from India, I can see how both India and Pakistan inherited the same base colonial rail infrastructure, which hasn't been replaced in both countries. India has made many technological upgrades on top of it, but Pakistan's still feels like where India was in late 90s and early 2000s.
If you want a private "suite" then book Maharaja Express because in India a lot of people travel via train. I am glad that the "silly booking system" does that because there are "real people" who have to travel.
I just had a thought. Are you and superalbs brothers? Your voices are similar. But then it could also be a coincidence and you're just friends. But thanks for this great video, you are always explaining things along the route very well.

Interesting. What’s the protocol behind being given a police escort? Is this standard for Westerners … presumably for your safety? 🤔 Out of interest, do you and Superalbs share footage from these trips? Or do you keep it completely separate?
I have found it fun to spot when the other person appears in the videos. Distinctive shoes, the backpack .. small clues hiding in the footage that you can spot from time to time. There is some attempt to stagger the release dates of the videos but those small clues give the game away.
Exactly this. We do film different routes and directions where possible, and stagger release dates if not. But yeah we like to leave some Easter eggs in for you all 😄
For riding on night trains I always bring my own bedding with me: A sleeping bag and a pillowcase, in which I put a thick jacket, if traveling during the cold season or clothes, on the return journey dirty clothes, into the pillowcase. So I've always a comfort bedding with me. Of course it's only possible if you travel with a medium sized suitcase as the minimum volume of luggage.
My main reason for going to Pakistan would be to visit the digs at Harappa. I read about the Indus Valley Civilization about 60 years ago and have always wanted to visit the site. Did you have the time to go there? I thought the armed escorts were rather interesting.
Unfortunately not Rick... But we did see loads of other historical sights, check out these tweets: x.com/search?q=from%3A%40nonstopeurotrip%20pakistan&t=knG9WIFP851sORtXBpzM2g&s=09
I would recommend doing a trip report on the rajthani express from New delhi to Guwahati. Many of the scenery in the northeast is just pure lush green and go to rural parts specifically going to one of the tribes to experience very tasty food there.
@NonstopEurotrip I would suggest go further east of Guwahati and explore that vast rural interiors of arunachal Pradesh and Assam. Based on my research and visit, It will be completely different experience from what you are used to the rest of india.
Not watched it yet but love your less than the normal places you visit. You need to do Southern tip of South America to Alaska by train ... easy for me to say. As an old guy thinking of taking my wife of 35 years around Europe this summer now that the trains are getting more and more toilets that don't just put it on the tracks. We seniors / silver track surfers love our conveniences ! You are an inspriration Mr Eurotrip. Cheers. All the best.
I love how he always complains there’s no vegetarian option meals. It’s like dude, seriously? You’re in 3rd world countries that don’t participate in your western hippie bullshit.
"Gilgit-Baltistan, formerly known as the Northern Areas, is a region administered by Pakistan as an administrative territory and consists of the northern portion of the larger Kashmir region, which has been the subject of a dispute between India and Pakistan since 1947 and between India and China since 1959."
For, me This Country is a Magnet. It hypnotises me like P C Sorcar, Master Magician. His family is in this line since more than 80 years. A line fm the books: Life isn't just about doing what u want, it's about doing what's right too.
I’m my opinion you’re a hero going to these places for our entertainment, my tummy gives me gyp drinking water 30 miles away from home, nice report pity about some people getting upset about whose country it belongs to, you are only giving us a report about the rail journey
can I interest you in going back to italy? recently trenitalia started operating these trimodal trains on his lines, and since i don't see any video on the channel about trains in tuscany, italy, you could try these trains on siena-firenze, siena-grosseto and siena-Chiusi train lines, all equally beautiful.

In First AC coaches in India, you cannot choose what you get. It is silly but the current system mandates it. Charting (seat allotment) is done manually and it gives priority to for bookings with 4 people to get cabin and bookings with two people get coupe. VIPs (highly placed government officials) are given preference in getting what they want and rest tickets are with odd number of passengers are then adjusted. Allotment in all other classes is automatic based on fixed criteria
@@NonstopEurotrip there were atleast three railway connection with india at time of partition, there was a one service frontier express starting from Bombay docks and ending at Peshawar.
I bounced in Punjabi ( and did the head-wobble!) I've met amazing Pakistanis, and some really not-at-all-nice individuals - it's a land of extremes, in so many ways! Go to the border station with India and watch the end-of-day ceremony. Utterly Bonkers, and utterly fascinating - the gymnastic abilities on show are well beyond anything I've seen in the Olympics. Also, such a huge variety of great food.
Absolutely yes, totally agree. And the Wagah border ceremony was one of the highlights! twitter.com/nonstopeurotrip/status/1747227523036160434?t=guZm2o1Pv1Vgjr4P2v3rEA&s=19
Can we all expect a personal policeman? I'm guessing its a proactive measure that the train staff and police made but I cant imagine everyone getting that privilege
Mind your language dear. It's not India's silly booking system. In India trains are in full demand and every seat counts. In Pakistan, AC business class almost runs empty and they would be more than happy and consider themselves lucky that an entire room is being booked. Hence they can throw discounts to any level. It's better to earn something than to run empty.
Good Video. I'd love to visit Pakistan someday. You've to check out Lahore Railway Station which is built during British raj era. It's beautiful from what I've seen in the videos and looks so much like ol' Kings Cross Station.
The section from Lahore to Khanewal used to be electrified. The trains got up to a great speed on that part of the journey. Then much more leisurely on to Rohri Junction and real snail's pace to Quetta: a lot of steep climbs needing a banking engine.
The silly Indian booking system doesn't allow the rich & privileged to block empty seats so that they can travel royally while the rest of us can't get tickets. If u want to travel royally book a business class seat on a plane or take a private jet or take a car
@@NonstopEurotripIndia unlike the rest of the world do it out of consideration to the people over profit, passenger division of Indian railways is a loss making entity , and still provides better connectivity than in the case of the USA. You can reach mostly anywhere by train in India most small towns have railway station and have local trains connecting to major station.
@@NonstopEurotrip Check out your History man!!! Its a wrong map. Pakistan has unlawfully occupied a part of the Kashmir Valley region. It wholly belongs to India.
A great trip. That first class sleeper looked very comfortable, a pity it was booked out. I was a bit shocked by the price of that pizza. About 6€ in such a poor country. I hope they charged you some sort of “foreigner’s price”, otherwise I would be very sorry for the Pakistani travellers.
Excellent vlog brotha I salute your bravery to visit a country like Pakistan. All I can say whatever this country is going through since that past 5/7 years are the repercussions of its own actions. Terrorism and Religious extremism are two main reasons for downfall of this country, I hardly doubt there is any future when it comes to railways or any future infrastructure projects in this country as these people believe in investing more in army / weaponry rather than feeding the 55% below poverty line population. Everytime I look at Pakistan I feel privileged.
Hi, i am from pakistan, piza price is so much as PKR.2000/- coffee is of PKR.50/- please you should ask them for so much prices to administration of railways.

This is a very good video of train travel within the wonderful country of Pakistan. For me the train is the best form of travel in any country. I have travelled by train in nine countries. I request you to travel by train in Bangladesh from Dhaka to Chittagong by train. Chittagong is the best city in Bangladesh.
The state of the toilets are enough to put me off riding that train. As a senior I need & expect my (clean) creature comforts, lol. If I were younger it wouldn't be such an issue. Glad that you do these trips for us though.

My pleasure 😊
Can in an ac business class compartments be together male and female passengers without knowing to each others??
Only from the same booking
Interesting. What’s the protocol behind being given a police escort? Is this standard for Westerners … presumably for your safety? 🤔
Out of interest, do you and Superalbs share footage from these trips? Or do you keep it completely separate?
I have found it fun to spot when the other person appears in the videos. Distinctive shoes, the backpack .. small clues hiding in the footage that you can spot from time to time. There is some attempt to stagger the release dates of the videos but those small clues give the game away.
Exactly this. We do film different routes and directions where possible, and stagger release dates if not. But yeah we like to leave some Easter eggs in for you all 😄
Yes, it's standard to get a police escort for whities 🐻❄️
For riding on night trains I always bring my own bedding with me: A sleeping bag and a pillowcase, in which I put a thick jacket, if traveling during the cold season or clothes, on the return journey dirty clothes, into the pillowcase. So I've always a comfort bedding with me. Of course it's only possible if you travel with a medium sized suitcase as the minimum volume of luggage.
Which I don't 😂
@@NonstopEurotrip Your choice sleeping less comfortable.😂
@@Chrizz06041980 I sleep fine on all trains
@@NonstopEurotrip Good.
My main reason for going to Pakistan would be to visit the digs at Harappa. I read about the Indus Valley Civilization about 60 years ago and have always wanted to visit the site. Did you have the time to go there? I thought the armed escorts were rather interesting.
Unfortunately not Rick... But we did see loads of other historical sights, check out these tweets:

Thanks, I was completely unaware of the sites in India.Another reason to visit India.@@apoorvchauhan6258
just go to british museum ,you will find most of the things there already .
What a great trip. Bit curious about the reason you have policeman in your room for several hours before evening?
Bcz it is unstable region.
They just wanted to make sure we were ok. There were no problems at all
All foreigners, especially white ones, are escorted by armed police. See bald and bankrupt.
Are Police escorts common there? or is it a one of experience?
Loved your video, do plan a travel in Pakistan Non AC, youd meet more locals that way
All foreign youtubers and Influencer are provided a armed police escorts in pakistan due to high level Islamic terrorist
treat to the westerners.
Yes, common.
Coming back alive is the greatest achivement!
Never any doubt 🫡
I would recommend doing a trip report on the rajthani express from New delhi to Guwahati. Many of the scenery in the northeast is just pure lush green and go to rural parts specifically going to one of the tribes to experience very tasty food there.
going to guwahati barely touches north east of india. you've to take trains that goes to borders
I have so much more to do in India,thanks for the suggestion 👍🏻
@NonstopEurotrip I would suggest go further east of Guwahati and explore that vast rural interiors of arunachal Pradesh and Assam. Based on my research and visit, It will be completely different experience from what you are used to the rest of india.
Not watched it yet but love your less than the normal places you visit. You need to do Southern tip of South America to Alaska by train ... easy for me to say.
As an old guy thinking of taking my wife of 35 years around Europe this summer now that the trains are getting more and more toilets that don't just put it on the tracks. We seniors / silver track surfers love our conveniences !
You are an inspriration Mr Eurotrip. Cheers.
All the best.
Thanks so much that really means a lot! 🙏🏻
I hope we resolved our differences and came together to solve poverty & high quality train travel in both our lands

I didn't complain, I observed
Gilgit-Baltistan is India. The people of Gilgit-Baltistan are Indians
That's strange because I didn't have an Indian visa and there were Pakistan flags there?
@@NonstopEurotrip strange indeed
"Gilgit-Baltistan, formerly known as the Northern Areas, is a region administered by Pakistan as an administrative territory and consists of the northern portion of the larger Kashmir region, which has been the subject of a dispute between India and Pakistan since 1947 and between India and China since 1959."

Thanks John, glad to have you along for the ride!!
Pakistani people are really friendly
The best!!!
can I interest you in going back to italy?
recently trenitalia started operating these trimodal trains on his lines, and since i don't see any video on the channel about trains in tuscany, italy, you could try these trains on siena-firenze, siena-grosseto and siena-Chiusi train lines, all equally beautiful.
I'll be back there soon 👀
bhrata log, kyu iske comment section mein gandh macha rahe ho! usne bas uska opinion rakha, criticism ko positively lena sikho. hum sabko pata hai humare desh ki rail ki halat inse toh behtar hai, har wakt inse tulna karna band karo bhrata log 😅 ye video toh apne desh ka hai bhi nahi.

What?
Ok, You got me there because I expected a European couchette coach to be much cleaner and less grimy than this Pakistan coach and compartment.
Maybe just a little bit 😜
Whats silly about Indian Railway booking system ? If you want privacy then just go in first AC Class. Talk to TTE and get urself a coupe.
Impossible. We've tried
@@NonstopEurotripIt does work for everyone except you. So doesn't mean it doesn't work at all.
This is a common problem faced by foreign bloggers narrated by them as coach birth no is alloted at the last moments .
Dude shared his experience. Relax guys😂
But we all know that our ticketing systems are indeed shitty and need major update.
@@PradhanmantriBruhh it might be in ur country 😂. we are doing just fine with ours.
In First AC coaches in India, you cannot choose what you get. It is silly but the current system mandates it. Charting (seat allotment) is done manually and it gives priority to for bookings with 4 people to get cabin and bookings with two people get coupe. VIPs (highly placed government officials) are given preference in getting what they want and rest tickets are with odd number of passengers are then adjusted. Allotment in all other classes is automatic based on fixed criteria
I know, hence why its a stupid system that no where else in the world uses.
@@NonstopEurotrip Call it unique if that's the case , not stupid.
Pakistan railways are atleast 70 years behind india. Indian railway started electrification in 1930.
About 20 years maybe
@@NonstopEurotrip india makes own locos and coaches almost fully electrified network Pakistan does it imports all old style signals.
@@NonstopEurotrip no electrification, in India we started in 1925

I did 🙌🏻
Excellent video, very informative. The Indus River crossing was a highlight.
Yes it was! 😍
Pakistan- dedicated to passenger safety and comfort and bathroom hygiene

I bounced in Punjabi ( and did the head-wobble!) I've met amazing Pakistanis, and some really not-at-all-nice individuals - it's a land of extremes, in so many ways! Go to the border station with India and watch the end-of-day ceremony. Utterly Bonkers, and utterly fascinating - the gymnastic abilities on show are well beyond anything I've seen in the Olympics. Also, such a huge variety of great food.
Absolutely yes, totally agree. And the Wagah border ceremony was one of the highlights!

Can we all expect a personal policeman? I'm guessing its a proactive measure that the train staff and police made but I cant imagine everyone getting that privilege
only if you are white
Afaik it's just something they do for all foreigners
Mind your language dear. It's not India's silly booking system. In India trains are in full demand and every seat counts. In Pakistan, AC business class almost runs empty and they would be more than happy and consider themselves lucky that an entire room is being booked. Hence they can throw discounts to any level. It's better to earn something than to run empty.
Exactly. These westerners must understand this. 😅
@@SSPTravels why do ppl get so riled up for nothing 🙄
Seems they don't have any other tension in life.
@@billumandalwhat else to expect from people with average IQ of 70 and open latrines
I'm aware of the thinking. But no other country in the world does things like this. It just drives people AWAY from trains.
@@NonstopEurotrip yes, you are right. I can understand. 🙌
But, India is very different and difficult. 😅
Good Video. I'd love to visit Pakistan someday. You've to check out Lahore Railway Station which is built during British raj era. It's beautiful from what I've seen in the videos and looks so much like ol' Kings Cross Station.
I've been 🫡
The section from Lahore to Khanewal used to be electrified. The trains got up to a great speed on that part of the journey. Then much more leisurely on to Rohri Junction and real snail's pace to Quetta: a lot of steep climbs needing a banking engine.
And then all the wires got stolen....
The silly Indian booking system doesn't allow the rich & privileged to block empty seats so that they can travel royally while the rest of us can't get tickets. If u want to travel royally book a business class seat on a plane or take a private jet or take a car
I just want to book a 2 bed room, for 2 people. It's not that difficult, the rest of the world manages to offer this service
@@NonstopEurotripIndia unlike the rest of the world do it out of consideration to the people over profit, passenger division of Indian railways is a loss making entity , and still provides better connectivity than in the case of the USA. You can reach mostly anywhere by train in India most small towns have railway station and have local trains connecting to major station.
What an adventure!!! Amazing!!!
Thank you 😊
Please make the video of green line express from margala to karchi please make

A great trip. That first class sleeper looked very comfortable, a pity it was booked out.
I was a bit shocked by the price of that pizza. About 6€ in such a poor country. I hope they charged you some sort of “foreigner’s price”, otherwise I would be very sorry for the Pakistani travellers.
Yes, we're probably were charged a bit more but hey it was a good pizza! Sad we didn't get to do AC sleeper tho yes!

British gone long ago but english boards still there even though 80% don't understand it😂
Not true
Excellent vlog brotha I salute your bravery to visit a country like Pakistan. All I can say whatever this country is going through since that past 5/7 years are the repercussions of its own actions. Terrorism and Religious extremism are two main reasons for downfall of this country, I hardly doubt there is any future when it comes to railways or any future infrastructure projects in this country as these people believe in investing more in army / weaponry rather than feeding the 55% below poverty line population. Everytime I look at Pakistan I feel privileged.
Thanks for watching 🤗
Hi, i am from pakistan, piza price is so much as PKR.2000/- coffee is of PKR.50/- please you should ask them for so much prices to administration of railways.

Don't worry very soon you cover these places in your trip to India.
There's going to be a war?
