What is the difference between Chakkibank and Pathankot Railway Station.?

Question

I mean in Kilometer and hours.

Answer 1

Just 3 kms and 10 minutes time difference.

Answer 2

Both stations are in the same city just 4 km apart.

When the train line was extended from Pathankot to Jammu, a problem arose. The main line comes to a dead end in Pathankot. The train has to change direction and actually reverse out of the station, the engine has to go to the back and this takes half an hour. Today only a few trains like Jammu Mail, Shalimar express and Sealdah express go into Pathankot Junction.

All the mainline trains bypass Pathankot and stop only at Chakki Bank to save time.
