How is a train's live speed measured?

Speed comes directly from the GPS transponder fitted to each active train, which reports position at regular intervals. PakTrainLive calculates speed from consecutive position updates and displays the most recent reading — it's a real measurement, not an estimate based on the timetable.

Why does a train show 0 km/h?

A train showing 0 km/h is genuinely stationary at that moment — waiting at a station, held at a signal, or stopped in a yard. If a train doesn't appear on this list at all, it means it isn't currently reporting an active GPS position rather than that it's moving slowly.

What's a normal speed for a Pakistan Railways train?

Most express services average somewhere between 60–100 km/h on open track, slowing well below that near stations, junctions, and congested sections. Premium services like Green Line tend to sustain higher average speeds than Passenger and Shuttle-class local trains, which stop frequently.
