Loading bike on train from Taftan to Lahore
After receiving hair-raising info from Gert84 about escorts from Bam (Iran) all the way to Lahore (Pakistan), which amounted to 6 days under police "custody" (a prospect I'm not at all happy about), I am trying to figure out if it's possible to load the bike on a train in Taftan (Pakistani side of Iran/Pakistan border) and take it with the train all the way to Lahore.
Much safer than playing road racing games with the police for days and days.
So I asked Omar (of Pakistan Bikers Club) about information on this and he told me that there is a train from Taftan to Quetta, but it runs only on a couple of days each week... Train from Quetta to Lahore should then be no problem, there are more options etc.
As I wouldn't like to have to wait in Taftan for the train for (say) 3 days to leave, has anyone tried this recently enough to know which days the train leaves from Taftan to Quetta?
Thanks
Alexandros
