Route and stops
Every scheduled call in order, from Mangalore Central (MAQ) to Mgr Chennai Ctr (MAS). An em dash means there is no such event: the train starts at that station or finishes there. “Day” counts from the day it leaves its origin, so a stop on day 2 is the morning after departure.

What is and is not on this page
Everything above is published timetable data — scheduled times, halts, day numbers and cumulative distance. It changes when the timetable changes and not otherwise, and nothing on this page predicts a delay.
Seat availability is not shown here, because it changes by the minute and a cached page cannot tell the truth about it. Search this route and a date to have every class checked at the moment you ask — and, if 22638 is full, to have RailRoute look for a split ticket, an earlier boarding point or a journey with one change. How that works is written up in the method behind the alternatives.
RailRoute is an independent service and does not sell tickets. Timetable data can be wrong or out of date; where it comes from and how far it can be trusted is written down. Confirm the times against Indian Railways before you travel.
RailRoute is an independent service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Indian Railways, IRCTC, or any Government of India entity. Train names and station codes are used for identification only.
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.
