Pakistan Railways on Friday inaugurated the upgraded new rake of the 125-Up and 126-Down Lasani Express, introducing improved passenger coaches on the Lahore–Narowal–Sialkot route.

At the ceremony, Additional General Manager Mechanical Yousaf Khan said the upgrade aligns with the railways’ plan to modernize operations under the directions of Federal Minister for Railways Hanif Abbasi. He said the new rake will offer safer, more comfortable, and higher-quality travel for passengers.
