@affan555 it is Pakistani Train and every year we went to Rawalpindi by this train its A.C is very chilly as my friends are wearing the seat covers as jackets were packed in Ruck saks and cold was so much that they have to wear these seat covers and timing of this train is perfect like foreign trains.
