The railway authorities are considering closing two trains as the railway system is facing a severe shortage of bogies to run train operations, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Tuesday.
According to railway sources the railway headquarters is considering closing the VVIP train Shah Hussain Express from Lahore to Karachi and the closure of Khushhal Khan Khattak is also under consideration.
The closure of both trains is under consideration due to lack of interest from passengers.
The railway headquarters has started thinking about the complete closure of trains.
The Shah Hussain Express was run with 34 bogies and Khushhal Khan Khattak with about 50 bogies.
The railway system is currently short of about 100 bogies.
