Last time I travelled by Pakistan railways was back in 2002 for basant in lower class shared compartment with few friends. In 6 years railways totally changed. to start with they do not have my much loved 3x1 inch cardboard tickets any more instead they have computerized ticketing system now with electronic announcement sign boards of arrivals and departures, all the employees at ticket selling counter were ladies with nice blue uniforms some with head scarf and some in ninja costume. To top it all 11.30pm train was singled to move by an old fashioned lantern and it left right on time. This was when my brother could not take any more of my company and left for Lahore.
