The Karachi Express started operating in 1943 and originally ran between Karachi and Peshawar. Shortly thereafter, the route between Karachi and Lahore was shortened. In 1999, Pakistan Railways started non-stop operation and in Kanpur he made only one stop. By 2003, economy class coaches were added and the train was no longer non-stop. During his PPP regime in Pakistan from 2008 to 2013, rail service was almost completely halted due to shortages of rail cars and locomotives. For most of 2012, the train operated only economy class carriages and was linked with the Millat Express from Khanewal to Karachi. On May 16, 2013, the trains were refurbished with a new train consisting of 10 Economy, 3 AC Business, 2 AC Standard and 1 AC Sleeper.
