we r still making a huge mistake
we must go past british wide gauge lines
we need standard gauge
if we ever have plans ti connect to iran turkey europe or even middle east by train.
standard gauge has used equipment rotting away al over the world while for broad gauge we have to order everything from USA or chine custom made
 
Feasibility Study for Up-Gradation of ML-1

-- An Over View A brief description of the results of the above referred feasibility study carried out by the Joint Venture comprising M/s CREEC of China (lead firm), M/s NESPAK and M/s PRACS from Pakistan, for the up-gradation of ML-1 railway line under CPEC, is provided in the forgoing paragraphs, for the information of the prospective bidders intend to provide consultancy services. 1. Project Area of ML-1 The project area pertains to ML -1, which extends from Kiamari (Karachi) in the south to Peshawar in the northwest covering 1,726 kilometres and passing through Hyderabad, Rohri (Sukkur), Multan, Lahore and Rawalpindi stations. ML-1 also includes the 91 km chord line between Lodhran and Khanewal and the 55 km section between Taxila and Havelian. Thus, ML -1 extends over a total route length of 1,872 kilometres. The entire railway track on ML -1 is broad gauge (1,676 mm or 5 feet 6 inches). ML -1 has 196 big and small railway stations. 2. Railway Sections/Segments included in ML -1 For the sake of the feasibility study, the existing railway infrastructure of ML -1 has been divided into the following seven (7) sections/segments:

S. No. Section / Segment Length (Kms) Existing Track Parameters 1 Kiamari - Hyderabad 182 Double track, designed for speed of 110 km/h and axle load of 23.3 tons
2 Hyderabad - Multan 748 Double track, designed for speed of 110 km/h and axle load of 23.3 tons

3 Multan - Lahore 334 Double track, designed for speed of 110 km/h and axle load of 23.3 tons
4 Lahore - Lalamusa 132 Single track, designed for speed of 105 km/h and axle load of 22.86 tons
5 Lalamusa - Peshawar 330 Single track, designed for speed of 105/80/65 km/h and axle load of 22.86 M-tons
6 Lodhran – Khanewal chord line 91 Single track, designed for speed of 110 km/h and axle load of 23.3 tons

7 Taxila - Havelian 55 Single track, designed for speed of 30 km/h and axle load of 17.24 tons
8 Establishment of Dry Port Near Havelian 9 Up gradation of Pakistan Railway Academy at Walton Total 1872

Pakistan Railways - EOI for Pre-Qualification of PMC for ML-1 (27) A sketch showing the railway sections/segments falling in ML -1 is given on the below: 3. Scope of the Consultancy Services for the already Conducted Feasibility Study of ML-1.
The study was to ascertain the existing condition of the infrastructure of ML -1, and submit recommendations for up gradation of the track and its other components so as to facilitate operations of passenger trains at 160 km/h and freight trains at 120 km/h. As far as possible, the up graded track would primarily follow the existing alignment, except where sharp curves are to be eased out or eliminated to allow higher speed. Wherever possible, but without compromising on safety of train operations, the upgradation process should make use of the existing structures and materials. The study was to examine the prospects of construction of a new double railway line between Kiamari and Kotri/Hyderabad. This line, 163 kilometres long, fit for 160 Km/h speed would facilitate the heavy movement of trains from Karachi to up country destinations in the future. Study was to examine the physical and academic up gradation of Pakistan Railways Academy at Walton so as to ensure capacity building of the human resources of Pakistan Railways. The study was to also examine the possibility of integrated commercial development of 8 railway stations along ML -1, namely, Karachi, Hyderabad, Rohri (Sukkur), Multan, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Peshawar and Quetta for commercially exploiting the land near the stations. The passenger facilitation for these stations shall be provided during up gradation of ML -1.
Electrification/electric traction of the entire ML -1 was also to be examined and recommendations submitted for its implementation. Pakistan Railways - EOI for Pre-Qualification of PMC for ML-1 (28) 4. Time frame for the Implementation of Different Projects under CPEC In line with the mutually agreed plan of the two governments (China and Pakistan) under CPEC and as approved in the Joint Cooperation Committees (JCC) meetings, the following time frames was to be followed for construction and train operations:

1. Short Term (2016 - 2021) Phase I 2018 Phase II 2021
2. Medium Term (2021 - 2026)
3. Long Term (2026 - 2031)
4. Beyond Long Term (2031 +)
5. Projects to be implemented during the Short and Medium Terms of the Time frame for ML-1
The projects to be taken up during the above stated timeframes were mutually agreed between the governments of the People‘s Republic of China and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and subsequently approved by the JCC meeting on 12th November, 2015 at Karachi.
However, in January 2016 when considerable data had emerged, PR officials and experts of PIU/PR/CPEC, reviewed the above referred timeframes and took the view that some of the projects included in Phase I of the Short Term and some projects of the Medium and Long Terms need to be modified so as to fulfil the demands of government and also to facilitate smooth train operations during the construction stage in Phase I and II.

5 years of inflation + (and it is a big plus) 30% depreciation. Leken khata hai tu lagata bhi hai, kyun patwariyon? Bari yaad ati hai saday leader di @Jungibaaz @Xestan @volatile @ejaz007 @BATMAN

It is nice to see GHQ paid idiots still applauding when they themselves do not know what to applaud.

The same were chest thumping PIA going into profit while CEO PIA yesterday told PM that PIA was incurring Rs. 6 billion loss per month.

The only one left supporting the current set up are those who themselves left Pakistan for a second rate citizenship in a foreign country.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Railways' witnessed an increase of 8.4% in its gross earnings in the first eight months of the financial year 2020 (July-February) that amounted to Rs 36,916.85 million as compared to Rs34,066.12 million during the same period last year.

According to the Economic Survey 2020 issued on Thursday, during the above mentioned term, the number of carried passengers decreased to 39.4 million against 39.9 million during the corresponding period last year, representing a decline of 1.20%.

The passenger traffic (km million), freight carried (tonnes million), and freight (tonnes km million) declined by 3.54%, 0.56%, and 0.07%, respectively.

The department comprises a total of 474 locomotives including 458 diesel engines and 12 steam engines for the 7,791km length of the route across the country.

Asian Development Bank (ADB) assisted the department to prepare the Pakistan Railways Strategic Plan (PRSP), which has been approved by the Railways Board.

The ADB also gave training to Pakistan Railway staff on route optimisation bringing efficiency in current operations.

PRSP includes suggestions to facilitate the railways in achieving its targets of being efficient and profitable. The policy dialogue was still on-going.

Pakistan Railways has recently submitted a business plan to the Supreme Court of Pakistan that outlines a strategy for turning the railways into a profitable entity.

The 121-page report was prepared in connection with a suo-motu case on the losses incurred by the institution.

It was informed in the report that 50% of its engines were old and needed replacement, meanwhile, a shortage of the required funds was affecting the repair work of engines.

As per the proposed plan, the railways would need to sign international joint venture agreements to become a profitable entity.

Passengers would be provided with secure, comfortable, and affordable travel facilities.

The entity would require the assistance of other departments as well to make itself financially stable.

It would also need political and financial support and effective monitoring of its governance and the Railways board. The entire Railway system would be digitalised.
