Difference between Green line and other AC Business Trains

Assalaamu Alaikum,

Booked an entire compartment using two adult and 4 children tickets on greenline from karachi to islamabad for 29980pkr.
For return, I decided to check AC Business, got the same entire compartment on Khyber Mail from Peshawar to Karachi for 18240pkr. I imagine it would be even cheaper from Rawalpindi...

What's the reason for so much difference? I couldn't find any difference, isn't it same cars, same service? Just because the green line is faster? Is there something that justifies over 10000pkr more expensive green line?

It's the same, one whole compartment, so 6 berths. Purchased both by buying 2 adult tickets and 4 child tickets.

First of all time and stopping stations matters...
Khyber Mail ----> 30 stations till Rawalpindi ----> 30 hours reported (36 hrs in actual approx)
Green Line -----> 7 stations only till Rawalpindi ----> 22 hours reported ( 95% reached well on time)

Secondly, free WIFI on all stations in Green Line.... Not availablein Khyber Mail

Thirdly, Free Lunck, Break Fast, and Refreshment in Green Line.....Not availablein Khyber Mail

Fourthly, New Bogi's of Green Line, which Khyber Mail Business Class are old one and refurbished..

Fifth, Plows and Blankets are Washed after every trip in Green Line while not in Khyber Mail....
