Split your journey when the train is waitlisted

A train that is waitlisted for your whole journey may still have seats on part of it. Search your trip and RailRoute looks for those tickets — what many people call a split ticket or a break journey.

Search the waitlisted journey

What a search tries

  • Split on the same train — two tickets, with the break at a station in between.
  • Board earlier or get off later — a ticket from a station before yours, or through to one after it.
  • A nearby terminal, or one change — another station in the same city, or two trains with a change.

Each is an ordinary IRCTC ticket. Two tickets usually cost more than one, and nothing is confirmed until IRCTC issues it. The options in detail

Important

RailRoute does not sell tickets and never takes a payment. Fares are estimates and seat availability changes continuously; the exact fare and the actual booking are confirmed on IRCTC.
