Jaffar Express (Urdu: جعفر ایکسپریس) is a passenger train operated daily by Pakistan Railways between Quetta and Peshawar.[1][2] The trip takes approximately 34 hours, 10 minutes to cover a published distance of 1,632 kilometres (1,014 mi), traveling along a stretch of the Rohri–Chaman Railway Line and Karachi–Peshawar Railway Line.

History

[edit]

The Jaffar Express is named after Mir Jaffar Khan Jamali, who was a prominent Baloch tribal leader, active member of the Pakistan Movement, and a close friend of the Mohammad Ali Jinnah. He was the uncle of former Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali. The train was inaugurated by the Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali on 16 April 2003 with Chinese rakes.[3] The original Jaffar Express ran between Quetta and Rawalpindi. In April 2017, the train was extended to Peshawar.
