Shortly after, the route was shortened between Karachi to Lahore. In 1999, Pakistan Railways began running non-stop, with only one technical stop at Khanpur. By 2003, economy class coaches were added and ceased to be a non-stop train.[4] During the PPP government in Pakistan, 2008-2013, the train service was almost completely finished due to shortage of power vans and locomotives. During much of 2012, the train was only running with only economy class coaches and coupled with Millat Express from Khanewal onwards to Karachi. On 16 May 2013, the train was refurbished and a new rake was arranged that included 10 Economy, 3 AC Business, 2 AC Standard and 1 AC Sleeper class coaches. The route of the train was also changed so that now the train is running between Karachi and Lahore via Lodhran-Multan-Khanewal section instead of the Lodhran-Jahanian-Khanewal section. The train still covers the {{convert|1225|km|mi}} distance between Karachi and Lahore in 18 hours.[5] Route
