Railway Station Phone Number List Pakistan 2026 β All Major Cities
Finding a reliable railway station phone number list in Pakistan is harder than it should be. Most search results either show incomplete lists, numbers that were accurate a few years ago but haven't been updated since, or directory pages that mix station numbers with completely unrelated contacts.
I put this page together specifically to fix that. The station numbers here are organized by city, and the finder tool above lets you pull up your city's number without having to scroll through a long list β which is exactly what you want when you're in a hurry.
That said, a number or two may change over time, so I've also included the national backup helpline which works regardless of which city you're in.
Why you'd need a station number rather than just calling 117
The national helpline 117 handles general inquiries very well β ticket information, complaints, and route questions. But there are specific situations where calling the station directly is more useful.
If your train is delayed and you want to know how long, or if you've left something on the platform and want to contact the station's lost-and-found, a direct station number gets you to the right person faster than going through a national helpline.
Important tip: When calling a station directly, try to be specific about what you need and which train or service your question relates to. Vague questions take longer to resolve, especially during busy periods when station staff are handling multiple things at once.

What to do if a number on this list doesn't connect
Railway station phone numbers occasionally get updated, and it's possible that a number listed here has changed since this was last verified. If you dial a station number and it doesn't connect or sounds wrong, here's what to do.
First, try the national helpline 117. It genuinely covers almost everything a station number would handle, just through a central system. Second, check the official Pakistan Railways website (pr.gov.pk) β they maintain updated contact information in their directory section.
If there's a specific station number you think has changed, drop a comment below and I'll get it updated in this railway station phone number list as quickly as possible.
Lost items β which number to call
Lost and found is one of the more common reasons people go looking for a specific station number rather than the national helpline. Practically speaking, calling the station directly gives you a better chance of reaching someone who can check the platform or waiting area.
When you call about a lost item, have the following ready: your train number or name, the date of travel, your seat or compartment number if you remember it, and a description of the item. The more specific you are upfront, the faster the conversation goes.
Connecting with the rest of your railway journey
Once you have the right station contact, the other parts of your trip tend to come together more smoothly too. If you haven't sorted your ticket yet, our Pakistan Railway ticket price guide gives realistic fare estimates by route and class.
For the actual booking process, the Pakistan Railway online booking guide walks through every step, including what to do if a payment goes through but the ticket doesn't appear.
And if you can't reach a station number directly, the Pakistan Railway helpline number guide has the national 117 number plus city-wise backup options all in one place.
A few things worth knowing before you call
Station staff are generally helpful, but there are a few things that make calls go more smoothly:
1. Calling during off-peak hours tends to get faster responses β early morning or midday on non-holiday weekdays is usually quicker than evenings or weekends.
2. Station numbers are often busier closer to departure times β if your question isn't urgent, calling an hour or two before or after the rush is worth it.
3. For non-urgent inquiries, the official website sometimes answers faster than a phone call β especially for things like general schedule information.
